How does it work?
Locate your A/V device in a closed cabinet or TV unit. The IR receiver (1) must be located in view of your remote control. Stick the IR blaster LEDs (2) wherever you like in the cabinet or TV unit. You will then be able to operate all of the A/V devices in that specific section. You can then place the IR modules (3) in discrete locations. Point the remote control towards the small IR receiver in order to send the desired command (via the IR module) to the IR blaster LEDs; these will then send on this infrared command to the A/V equipment.
Installation
In order to check that the system works correctly, it is advisable to first test the set-up you had in mind. To do so, connect everything as described below but do not stick the components securely.
Locating the IR receiver
Place the very small IR receiver (1) that comes with the Invisible Control 6 XTRA™ so that it can be seen by your (infrared) remote control and receive the commands (max. 10 meters).
- The most logical location for the IR receiver is, for example, on the cabinet in which the A/V equipment is located or near the TV.
- You can run the cable underneath or behind, using the notch at the back of the IR receiver housing; this allows the cable to be hidden easily.
- Use the self-adhesive strip which is supplied to locate the IR receiver just about anywhere you, please.
- Experiment with the location before you stick the IR receiver in its final position.Note! The sticky strip may lead to discoloration or leave glue residues on certain surfaces.
Locating the IR (infrared) blaster led
Stick the IR blaster LEDs (2) wherever you like in the cabinet or TV unit. You will then be able to operate all of the A/V devices in that specific section.
- With the correct placement, one blaster LED can control all A/Vdevices placed in the same compartment.
- In some situations, it is necessary to place a second blaster LED if not all A/V devices can be controlled with one blaster LED.
- Or you place the blaster LED on one of the A/V devices in the middle of the cabinet and the other equipment will be controlled as well by the reflection of the infrared signal.
Locating the IR ModuleMount the IR Module (3) at an accessible place behind or alongside your A/V equipment, in the vicinity of an electrical socket.
- Be aware of the cable length of the IR blaster LEDs and the IR receiver.
- Make sure that the connections remain accessible and that the ‘IR data’ light remains visible so you can check it is working properly.
- Use the self-adhesive strip which is supplied to locate the IR receiver just about anywhere you, please.
Connecting the IR Module
- Connect the installed IR Extender cables with blaster LEDs) to the ‘IR OUT’ connection on the IR Module.
- Connect the installed IR Receiver cable to the ‘IR IN’ connection on the IR Module:
- Connect the USB Power adapter to the ‘POWER’ connection on the IR Module and plug this into an electrical socket.
- If the Invisible Control 6 XTRA™ is correctly connected, the ‘IR data’ light will blink on the IR Module if you press a button on the (infrared) remote control while pointing towards the IR receiver.
- Close the doors of your cabinet to ensure that the A/V equipment cannot receive an infrared command directly from the remote control as this can lead to operational problems.
- You can now operate the A/V equipment via the Invisible Control 6 XTRA™ through closed cupboard doors!
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
The A/V equipment does not respond to signals from my remote control.Take the following instructions into account:
- The IR receiver has a receiving sensitivity of about 10 meters with an acceptance angle of 60 degrees. The range is also dependent on the remote control used.
- If the ‘IR data’ light on the IR Module is continuously illuminated, the IR receiver is probably being disrupted by another infrared signal. Try to locate the IR receiver so that it encounters as little disruption as possible from, for example, direct sunlight, Flat Screen TVs, (LCD, Plasma, LED), fluorescent lighting or energy-efficient light bulbs.
- The IR receiver does not work with some A/V devices and models that use higher IR frequencies such as Bang&Olufsen (B&O).
- Ensure that the IR receiver and the IR blaster extender cable are correctly connected and that these are plugged in properly.
