LIMITED 5-YEAR WARRANTY
SpeakerCraft Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this SpeakerCraft product will be free from defects in
materials and workmanship, for a period of 5-years, provided it was purchased from a SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer.
Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of purchase, prepaid insured to the SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer
from whom they were purchased, or to the SpeakerCraft factory at the address listed on this installation instruction manual.
Freight collect shipments will be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original shipping container to lessen the
chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk or loss or damage in transit is to be borne by the purchaser. If upon exami-
nation at the Factory or SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer it is determined that the unit was defective in materials or workman-
ship at any time during this warranty period, SpeakerCraft or the SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer will, at its option, repair or
replace this product at no additional charge, except as set forth below. If this model is no longer available and can not be
repaired effectively, SpeakerCraft, at its sole option may replace the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In
some cases where a new model is substituted, a modification to the mounting surface may be required. If mounting sur-
face modification is required, SpeakerCraft assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification. All replaced parts and
product become the property of SpeakerCraft Inc. Products replaced or repaired under this warranty will be returned to the
original retail purchaser, within a reasonable time, freight prepaid.
This warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by accident, disaster, misuse, abuse,
negligence, inadequate packing or shipping procedures, commercial use, voltage inputs in excess of the rated
maximum of the unit, or service, repair or modification of the product which has not been authorized or approved by
SpeakerCraft. This warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by environmental conditions. This warranty
will be void if the Serial number on the product has been removed, tampered with or defaced.
This warranty is in lieu of all other expressed warranties. If the product is defective in materials or workmanship as war-
ranted above, the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be repair or replacement as provided above. In no event will SpeakerCraft
be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the
product, even if SpeakerCraft Inc. or a SpeakerCraft Inc. Authorized Dealer has been advised of the possibility of such dam-
ages, or for any claim by any other party. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages,
so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply. All implied warranties on the product are limited to the duration of
this expressed warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an implied Warranty. If the original retail pur-
chaser resides in such a state, this limitation does not apply.

IRC-1.0 & IRC-1.1
Flush Mount Mini Infrared Receivers
SmartPath
™
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The IRC-1.0 and IRC-1.1 are small IR Receivers encased in a threaded tube. They
are designed to mount flush to a cabinet or wall surface with only a circular bezel
exposed to the room. Snap-on Color Cap bezels are included in White, Bone,
Almond, and Black. Also, they can be painted so that a match to any décor is
achievable. Among the unique features of these receivers is an exclusive Ambient
Noise Suppression (ANS) system. It acts to push down IRI, CFL, EMI, or ESI noise
sources so that stronger signals from IR remotes have adequate margin for com-
mand of the controlled component.
Note:
The ANS will take a few seconds to adjust to a given noise source. During
this time, the blue Activity LED will glow brightly and then fade out. If the interfer-
ence disappears momentarily, then returns, the fade down process will repeat.
Certain noise sources, however, (such as Plasma Screens) may result in low-level flick-
ering even after the fade down. This is normal. Such signals have been acted upon
by the ANS, allowing most equipment to be controlled.
STATUS Brightness
Fig. 3
also shows how an external resistor can be added to reduce the brightness of the
Status LED’s on SpeakerCraft IR Receivers to any desired level.
In this example, a PS-1.0 12V DC Power Supply is used as the voltage source to indicate
ON/OFF status of an A/V Receiver.
Choose a resistor value that achieves the brightness you desire (about 2.2k to 12k, 1/8 W).
Connect it in series with the STATUS lead on each IR receiver desired, as shown.

FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS
• The IRC-1.0 and IRC-1.1 are identical except for lead termination.
(See Fig. 1)
The
IRC-1.0 has a unique 3.5mm quad plug to accommodate STATUS as well as IR,
Power and Gnd connections. The IRC-1.1 comes with stripped ends plus a 4-
conductor terminal strip allowing interface connections to in-wall room-to-room
wiring.
• Exclusive Ambient Noise Suppressor (ANS) system.
• STATUS Indicator: Green LED for System On/Off indication.
• ACTIVITY Indicator: Blue LED indicates IR signal activity in a completed circuit with
a Terminator or an Emitter.
• Requires Power Supply, Terminator Block and Emitters for IR Repeater operation.
PLASMA AMBIENT LIGHT RESTRICTOR CAPS
Included are two special snap-on caps for the restriction of plasma and other types of
ambient IR noise interference. The exclusive Ambient Noise Suppression circuit used in the
IRC-1.0 and IRC-1.1 will handle all types of noise and effectively reduces such noise to an
acceptable level. However, in certain cases, the random strength of the pulsed IR noise from
plasma displays, with scene changes, will cause too much noise to pass to the controlled
component, resulting in intermittent response to IR commands.
If you experience this problem, snap on one of these caps instead of the thinner color caps
supplied.
(See Fig. 4)
Normally, use the one with the
LARGER
hole
(Cap 1, 3/16")
. It will
work in most cases and gives a wider angle of reception (about ± 35˚). If you encounter a
particularly severe case, use the one with the
SMALLER
hole
(Cap 2, 5/32")
, bearing in mind
that this narrows the reception angle to about ± 30˚ and reduces the range somewhat.
CAUTION:
These caps can be spray painted to match wall colors as with the other color
caps. However, when so doing, you must plug the hole to mask it from the paint. The inside
of the hole must remain black for maximum rejection of the IR plasma interference.
