XTRA LINK® 2

REMOTE CONTROL EXTENSION SYSTEM

The Xtra Link 2 system provides full remote control operation of a satellite receiver, cable box or VCR from a second room by sharing the coaxial cable connecting your video equipment to this second room’s TV.

The 172-94 Xtra Link 2 consists of the following supplied parts (Fig.1):

1.One 291-00 IR Receiver. It is placed at the remote room location to receive IR signals from the handheld remote controller.

2.One INJ94 Injector. This unit, located in the Remote Room, injects the remote control signal into the room- to-room coaxial cable (along with the TV signal) and passes it to the CPL94B Coupler in the Main room. It also provides quick connection of the 291-00 IR Re- ceiver and 781C-00 Power Supply cables.

3.One CPL94B Coupler. Located in the Main Room, this Coupler extracts the remote control signal from the coaxial cable and passes it to the emitters that control your IR remote controlled audio/video source components. Two emitter jacks are provided for con- trol of up to four components.

controlled components. The visible output of the 283M allows it to also be used for troubleshooting.

5. Two short coaxial cables. One connects the TV signal source to the CPL94B Coupler in the Main Room. The other connects the INJ94 Injector to the TV in the Remote Room.

6. A 781C-00 Power supply. This plugs into an unswitched 120V AC outlet to provide power to the 291- 00 IR Receiver.

CONNECTIONS:

The Xtra Link system uses the coaxial cable that carries the TV RF signal from the source equipment in the main room to the remote room, to send the IR control signals back to the source equip- ment. The coaxial cable may be up to one mile in length.

If you already have a coaxial cable con- necting your video equipment with a re- mote room, your current hookup should be similar to Fig. 2. If it isn't, run a single length of RG59 or preferably RG6 cable from the Main Room to the Remote Room.

NOTE: If RF amplifier(s) are used any- where in the line of coaxial cable be- tween the CPL94B Coupler and the INJ94
