IR Receivers
The SMC’s rear panel includes an IR receiver input for connecting one IR
receiver if the SMC is located where its front panel IR receiver is not accessible
by remote control�
The remote control sends commands to the IR receiver which relays these
commands through the control cable to the SMC�
The control cable has a sender tip that attaches to the IR receiver box (or is
hard-wired to it) and plugs into the back of the SMC� You must position the IR
receiver’s front panel to ensure that it receives the IR signal from the remote
control�
Note: Some external IR receivers use a power supply and connecting block in
addition to the IR receiver unit� Refer to your IR receiver documentation for
information on how to connect these items�
