Determining the
Optimal Location for
the Dream Machine
The Dream Machine employs an omnidirectional
infrared ray system which enables the flexible
positioning of the Dream Machine anywhere in
your room!
Read the following carefully and familiarize
yourself with the optimal location of the Dream
Machine.
Effective range of the infrared rays
(See ill. A)
The effective range of the infrared rays emitted
from the infrared dome of the Dream Machine is
approximately 5 m (16 ft.) with a vertical angle of
approximately 40°. Make sure to place your TV,
cable or VCR unit so that the infrared ray sensors
are located within this range.
Notes on optimal location
• Place the Dream Machine in an area with a
direct line of sight from your TV, cable or VCR
unit. Remove any object that might obstruct the
direct line between the infrared dome of your
Dream Machine and the infrared ray sensor.
• Do not place the Dream Machine in an area
subject to direct sunlight or under any strong
illumination. The ominidirectional infrared ray
system may not operate properly.
• Do not use any other infrared ray remote
control device simultaneously with the Dream
BAND
Machine. An interference may occur and the
unit may not operate properly.
