Optimizing IR Flasher Levels
Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device. Since
TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation,
you should test them thoroughly. Put up the on-screen guide and test the navigation arrows. Compare
operation via RF to the original remote control. Operation should be identical. If operation is inconsistent
or sluggish, lower the IR line output and/or reposition the flasher.
If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to a particular LINE OUT, rather
than ALL. When IR commands are sent to all the flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the
IR Output. Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-8) Line Output, then
readjust the IR Line Output level.
1.
Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to the front panel of each component.
DO NOT STICK the emitter in place. ADJUST the level first.
2.
Adjust each of the IR Output levels with the included adjustment tool for best operation. If the
component operates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermittently, move the
emitter farther away from the component’s IR sensor.
