FOUR IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
1.
Where is the IR Receiver going to be located? The IR Receiver must be 'line-of-
sight' to the remote control being used to be able to control the system audio/video
components. This location should be in a convenient spot in front of the user when
seated in a typical location for watching TV or listening to music. This will determine
how the IR Receiver is going to be mounted.
2.
How is the IR Receiver going to be mounted? The IR Receiver can be surface
mounted directly to the frame on the front of some flat panel TVs. For TVs that
do not have a wide enough frame, the TV Mount Adapter can be used to extend
the IR Receiver out from the back or side of the TV. If the IR Receiver is going to be
mounted in a cabinet door, the Flush Mount Adapter will mount the IR Receiver in
an 11/16" hole in the cabinet door. If the IR Receiver is going to be placed on a shelf or
on top of a cabinet, the Tabletop Adapter provides an attractive, low profile case for
that application.
3.
Where are the audio/video components that are going to be controlled?
The IR Receiver, Flashers and Power Supply all connect to the IR Router. The IR
Router should be in the same location as the audio/video components. If the A/V
components are in a wall unit or cabinet in the same room and within a few feet
of the IR Receiver, then once the IR Receiver has been mounted, find a convenient
location that allows access to the IR Router for making connections and then simply
connect the IR Receiver, Flashers and Power Supply. (The IR Receiver has a total wire
length of 6 feet, 8 inches, and the Flashers have a wire length of 8 1/2 feet, usually
enough wire to make connections in a typical cabinet or wall unit.)
If the IR Receiver is going to be mounted across the room or in a different room
from the A/V components, the wire length of the IR Receiver can be extended to
accommodate those situations. Please see the section: Extending the Receiver
Wire for additional information.
4.
IMPORTANT NOTE - Placement - The IR Receiver should be located so that it is not
directly facing a light source such as sunlight, lamps or video displays (CRT, LCD, and
Plasma). When mounted near a display, it should be flush to the display and away
from light reflections that may occur.
With answers to these three important questions, you're ready to install your Proficient
