Connecting IR Emitters

IR emitters are used to communicate to AV devices such as cable boxes, televisions,
blu-ray players and more.

1. Plug IR emitters (six (6) supplied in the box) into any of the six (6) IR outputs

available on the rear of the MRX-8.

All IR outputs include an adjustable sensitivity dial. Turn this dial to the right
to increase the gain and to the left to decrease it.

2. Remove the

adhesive covering from the emitter

and place it over the

IR

receiver

of the 3rd party device (cable box, television, etc.).
