Sewell InjectIR Setup

InjectIR Setup:
The Sewell InjectIR extends the signal from your remote controls (for Blu­Rays, DVRs, set­top boxes, etc.) by sending the
remote control's IR signal over an existing HDMI cable. This allows you to conceal your home entertainment equipment
behind cupboard or closet doors without losing the ability to control them with a remote. Follow these instructions to use
any of your connected HDMI cables to extend your remote control signal.
The kit includes two small HDMI adapters and two small IR cables (the one labeled RX is the IR sensor cable and the one
labeled TX is the emitter cable.)
Step 1: Attach the InjectIR HDMI adapters to both ends of your HDMI cable. Either HDMI adapter
can go on either side of the HDMI cable.
Make sure the CEC/IR selector switches are set to IR
Step 2: Connect the InjectIR IR Sensor cable (again, labeled Rx) to the TV side. Position the sensor
where it will have an unobstructed view to your remote control (i.e. on top of the TV).
Step 3: Connect the InjectIR IR Emitter cable (labeled Tx) to the equipment side. Position the
emitter in front of your equipment.
NOTE:The IR transmitter TX unit needs to be facing the front of your video equipment. If you place
the transmitter unit in front of multiple devices, it can control multiple devices. Just make sure there
is an unobstructed line of sight between the TX transmitter unit and the IR receiver on each device.
Step 4: Now plug in the HDMI cable (with attached InjectIR adapters) into your TV and equipment.
You are done.
Troubleshooting:
1. Make sure the CEC/IR switch is in the IR position for both the Sender and Receiver.
2. Make sure that the IR emitter (TX) is placed near the equipment you are controlling, and that it has a line­of­sight
connection to the equipment's IR window.
3. You can check that the remote signal is getting repeated. Most digital cameras, including many on cell phones, can
pick up IR frequencies.
Point your remote at your digital camera and press a button. You should see a bluish white light blink (for
iPhone 5 and 6 you must use the front­facing camera)
Once you've confirmed that your camera can see the IR signal, point the remote at the reciever (RX) of the
InjectIR, and point the camera at the emitter (TX) of the InjectIR
