Precautions Care From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solu- tion of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt.
Your devices no longer have to be placed in line of sight but can be operated from virtually any location. The RFR-5 is a RF Receiver that is used in combination with the Chad Remote Controller. The RF Receiver receives radio frequency (RF) signals sent out by the Chad and converts them into infrared (IR) signals.
Introduction Possible Set-ups The RF Receiver can be used in several situations: I Your devices can be remotely controlled while the RF Receiver is placed in line of sight (situation I The RF Receiver controls devices placed in an adjacent room (situation B). I The RF Receiver is placed inside a closet, a rack or another piece of furniture together with your devices (situation C).
Installation The following components should be present: RF Receiver, power adapter, 3 IR emitters, Mono cable and 4 screws. Before you install the RF Receiver, you should decide which of the set-ups described on p. 2 apply to your needs. It is recommended to read through the entire User Guide.
Installation Mounting The RF Receiver can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. 4. Also make sure to place the RF Receiver in a central position aimed directly at your devices.
IR IN terminal The 3.5mm mono cable (included with the RF Receiver) can be used to connect the RF Receiver to Onkyo components equipped with IR IN terminal for controlling the Onkyo components. Connecting the Power Adapter When connecting the power adapter it is recommended that you plug the adapter into the RF Receiver before you plug it into the socket.
Installation Settings As the RF Receiver “communicates” with the Chad Remote Controller, you have to set the same Receiver ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Receiver or multiple RF Receiver. Single RF Receiver When you use only one RF Receiver, you can accept the default setting for the Receiver ID (ID=0).
Troubleshooting Devices do not respond properly I Check if the power adapter is connected and the red LED is on. I Check if the ID and channel numbers on the RF Receiver match with the ID and channel numbers on the Chad Remote Control (see p. 8).
