The IR system allows you to control the sources that are connected to the matrix unit, and the switching of
the matrix unit itself. 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. These pigtails are
placed at each display.
2. The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to your sources. These pigtails are placed at each
source, either pointed at the source, or placed on the front panel of the source, see below for placement tips.
IR BLASTER
Plug IR Blasters into IR TX ports on the back of the matrix unit; place blaster in front of the IR window/eye
of the corresponding source. For example, if the Bluray player is connected to Input #1, then route the IR
blaster plugged into TX1 to the Bluray player.
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:
