With the MX-800's IR output blocked by a jacket or pillow, test the control of
your components using just the Front Blaster. In most cabinets, the MRF-200's
Front Blaster will control any A/V components in the same cabinet space by
reflections from the cabinet walls and doors. Make sure that the components
operate with the cabinet doors closed or open. If a component is placed too far
away from the front blaster, you will need to utilize the included Flashers plugged
into the MRF-200's rear Flasher Line Output jacks.
If you have problems with components that are close to the Front Blaster, see
the next page and the section on Front Blaster Overload.

Use a flashlight to identify the correct location of the component's IR sensor,
then try a few commands while moving the flasher around the face plate of
the component. The most reliable operation typically occurs a half inch or so
away from the IR sensor.
Once you have found the spot that gives the most reliable operation, peel off
the protective backing of the self-adhesive tape on the included Flashers and
stick them in place.
