These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. [. . . ] It is recommended to read through the entire User Guide. Maximum distance: 16 feet (5 m) Working Angle and Range of the IR blaster Note: The IR signals sent out by the RF Receiver always have to be able to reach the receiving eyes of your devices. Make sure that the IR blaster (dark plastic window on top of the RF Receiver) is aimed at your devices. To get optimal results, it is recommended to place the RF Receiver horizontally with the IR blaster facing up or down. Minimum distance: 4 inches (10 cm) Figure 2: IR blaster facing up Figure 2 represents the RF Receiver with the IR blaster facing up. The RF Receiver can be placed at a distance and higher than your devices. Make sure there are no objects between the RF Receiver and the receiving eyes of the devices. Figure 1: IR blaster facing down Figure 1 represents the RF Receiver mounted up side down inside a closet. Always maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) between the RF Receiver and your devices. 5 Installation Mounting The RF Receiver can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. Also make sure to place the RF Receiver in a central position aimed directly at your devices. Note: It is adviced not to place the RF Receiver inside a metal closet as RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects. Using the IR Emitters Like the IR blaster of the RF Receiver, the IR emitters send out IR signals. Note: It is adviced not to place the RF Receiver inside a metal closet as RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects. When to use the emitters The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e. g. in a small closet. 1 Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the RF Receiver. Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the RF Receiver back on. Note: Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the RF Receiver to the furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape. Note: The IR emitters can also be used in combination with the IR blaster of the RF Receiver. This allows you to operate several devices using both the IR blaster and the IR emitters. 2 3 6 Installation How to use the emitters The IR emitters can be attached to the surrounding surface facing the receiving eyes or directly to the receiving eyes. 1 Attach the emitters to a surface above, below or in front of the receiving eyes of your devices (for aesthetic appearance or when it is difficult to locate the receiving eye). ­OR­ Attach the emitters directly to the receiving eyes of your devices. When connecting the power adapter it is recommended that you plug the adapter into the RF Receiver before you plug it into the socket. Note: To avoid interference, the adapter cable should not be placed directly above or below the RF Receiver. Connecting the Power Adapter 2 Plug the IR emitters into the RF Receiver. To avoid interference, the wires of the emitters should be kept away from the RF Receiver as far as possible. Connecting Onkyo components equipped with IR IN terminal The 3. 5mm mono cable (included with the RF Receiver) can be used to connect the RF Receiver to Onkyo components equipped with IR IN terminal for controlling the Onkyo components. 7 Installation Settings As the RF Receiver "communicates" with the Chad Remote Controller, you have to set the same Receiver ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Receiver or multiple RF Receiver. [. . . ] · Make sure that the distance between the RF Receiver and your device is at most 16 feet (5 meters). · Make sure the IR signals between the RF Receiver and the receiving eyes of your devices are not disturbed by any objects. · Check if metal objects, for instance a metal closet, wires or cables, surrounding the RF Receiver do not disturb the RF signals. · If you are using the IR emitters, make sure they are connected properly and that they are placed within range of the receiving eyes (see p.
