  • Page 11: Controlling An Array Of Identical Tv's

    (or VCR’s, Receivers, CD players etc.) There are several considerations to take into account when you are installing an MRF-200 to control an array of identical components: 1. You cannot use the Front Blaster to control identical components. You must use Flashers instead. You can still use the Front Blaster in a cabinet that is out of sight of the identical components to control the rest of your system.
