About the RFX6000

Most remote control systems have to be operated by pointing the remote control
directly towards a device. Any obstacle between the remote control and the device
disturbs the operating signal. But what if you like to place your devices inside a
closed cabinet, a closet or even in another room?

The RFX6000 provides the solution to overcome obstacles like furniture or walls.
Your devices no longer have to be placed in line of sight but can be operated from
virtually any location. The RFX6000 is a RF Extender that is used in combination
with the Pronto Remote Control. The RF Extender receives 

radio frequency

(RF)

signals sent out by the Pronto and converts them into 

infrared

(IR) signals. These

IR signals are then sent out to your TV, DVD, preamplifier and so on.
