Introduction

About the RF-EX6

Most remote controller systems have to be oper-
ated by pointing the remote controller directly
towards a device. Any obstacle between the re-
mote controller and the device disturbs the oper-
ating signal. But what if you like to place your
devices inside a closed cabinet, a closet or even
in another room? The RF-EX6 provides the so-
lution to overcome obstacles like furniture or
walls. Your devices no longer have to be placed
in line of sight but can be operated from virtu-
ally any location. The RF-EX6 is a RF Receiver
that is used in combination with the RF Remote
Controller. The RF Receiver receives radio fre-
quency (RF) signals sent out by the RF Remote
Controller and converts them into infrared (IR)
signals. These IR signals are then sent out to
your TV, DVD, preamplifier and so on.

Applications

The RF Receiver can be used in several
situations:
■ Your devices can be remotely controlled
while the RF Receiver is placed in line of
sight (situation A).
■ The RF Receiver controls devices placed in
an adjacent room (situation B).
■ The RF Receiver is placed inside a closet, a
rack, etc. together with your devices (situa-
tion C).
■ The set-ups in situation A, B and C can be
combined. If you want to control devices in
different locations, you have to place a RF
Receiver in each location. You can control
all RF Receiver with the same RF Remote
Controller. See Multiple RF Receiver on p. 8
to apply the necessary settings.
