Connecting Ir And Setting Output Levels - Universal MRF-350 Installation Manual

Connecting IR and Setting Output Levels
1. Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to the
front panel of each component. DO NOT STICK the emitter in place.
ADJUST the level first.
2. Adjust each of the IR Output levels for best operation. If the component
operates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermit-
tently, move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor.
nOTe: TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely
sensitive to IR overload or saturation. Put up the on screen guide and test the
navigation arrows. Compare operation via RF to the original remote control.
Operation should be identical. RF is not slower. If operation is inconsistent or
sluggish, LOWER the IR line output.
If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to a
particular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands are sent to all the
flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the IR Output.
Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-6)
Line Output, then readjust the IR Line Output level.

When connecting to a components rear panel IR
Input, cut the flasher off of the wire, strip the
two conductors and connect to the rear panel IR
Input. The MRF-350 is only compatible with
standard IR Inputs, not proprietary control sys-
tems offered by some manufacturers.
