While it is possible to make wired connections without the connecting block, it is not recommended. The connecting block reduces installation time, helps to eliminate errors, allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system upgrades later, if needed.

LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION

Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, such as the TV, video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central location and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be controlled.

Since the IR receiver is in close proximity to the audio/video equipment, no wiring extension should be required so long as the connecting block is within reach of the 7-foot cable. The 3.5mm stereo type mini plug is connected to the “IR RCVR” jack on the Xantech Connecting Block.

MOUNTING

The IR receiver can be mounted to any flat surface, using the two-sided adhesive tape supplied. Two screws are included for mounting the 3-terminal block provided with the IR receiver.

An additional feature is a wire channel on the rear of the surface mount IR receiver. This will give the installation the ability to provide clean wire dressing in any direction.

PLACEMENT

The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light source such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma). When mounted near a display, it should be flush to the display and away from light reflections that may occur.
