INTRODUCTION
The 291-95 is a small shelf-top infrared repeater assembly designed to reject interference from Plasma Displays from
entering the IR signal line. The 291-95 is the first non fixed-installation version of Xantech's Plasma Series IR product line.
These Small IR Receivers are intended to be placed on a shelf, ledge or mantel in close proximity of a Plasma or LCD
