Things to Remember about the IR Blaster
The IR Blaster transmits commands to your accessory devices to carry out functions (POWER/STBY, PLAY, STOP, etc.). Therefore, you need to ensure that the IR Blaster�s remote sensor window is not blocked and that the IR Blaster is in a position to send its signal into the room, where it can bounce off of walls or objects and then to remote sensor windows of the accessory devices. The remote sensor windows of the accessory devices must not be blocked in order to receive transmissions from the IR Blaster. Light colors or other room conditions can prevent the IR Blaster signal from reaching accessory devices. Also, storing accessory devices in glass-covered cabinets can block the signal. If you have such conditions, IR Shooters can be attached to the IR Blaster cable for more direct transmission of the signal from the IR Blaster to accessory devices (see page 4). Call 1-800-851-8885 to order the IR Shooters.
