Program and Test Remote Control First
Don't connect power to the Expander until you have pro-
grammed and tested the remote control line of sight. The
MRF-100 can interfere with testing and programming.
Hookup
Step 1 - Turn ON all of your components.
Audio Video components sometimes create RF interference.
Therefore, perform all testing with all of your components
powered ON (as they will be when you operate the system).
Step 2 - Connect the Power Supply
Connect the 9V power supply to an active UNSWITCHED AC
outlet. The MRF-100 must always be powered up. The red
P
LED should light up.

Step 3 - Test Placement of the MRF-100
The MRF-100 should be placed so that the STATUS LED only
lights up when a button is pressed on the Unifier, Automator
or Customizer remote control. It should go out as soon as the
button is released. If there is any flickering, move the
MRF-100 farther away from the A/V components.
Step 4 - Orient the Antenna for Optimum Range
If you need to extend the range of the remote, try adjusting the
angle of the MRF-100 receiving antenna via it's pivoting ball
mount.
Step 5 - Mount the MRF-100
The MRF-100 may be concealed and mounted to the rear
wall or back of the system cabinet. The mounting plate slides
apart from the receiver, mounts to the wall, then the receiver
can slide back into place.
Step 6 - Test Operation Without Flashers
With the remote controls line-of-sight output blocked by your
hand, a book or a pillow; test the control of your components
using just the front blaster. In most cabinets, the MRF-100 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
