The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the 
display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously.  There are two important things to note when 
setting up the IR system:
1.  The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal.  This pigtail is placed 

at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.

2.  The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s the 

source or the display.  This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the 
front panel of the source, see below for placement tips.  Or placed at the display to control the display 
from the source.

IR BLASTER (TX)
To control the source:  Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of transmitter unit (280621-TX); place transmitter in 
front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display:  Plug IR Blaster into IR TX port of receiver unit (280621-RX); place transmitter in front 
of the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Blaster is important and can result in the IR system not working if improperly 
placed.  

•  First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
•  If placing the IR blaster right on the front panel of the source, do not stick right on top of the IR eye or IR 

window.  The IR signal cannot travel through the double-sided tape on the Blaster.  Instead place the blaster 
on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or window, with the tip of the blaster facing the IR eye or 
window.  See below for illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Blaster:
