INSTALLING THE XTRA LINK 284M DUAL IR EMITTER
Plug the 284M Dual IR Emitter into the jack marked "EMITTER" on the CPL77 Coupler in the Main Room.
The 284M emitters should be installed directly to the infrared sensor "window" on the
front panel
of the
satellite receiver, VCR, cable box, etc. Simply remove the paper backing exposing the adhesive surface
of each emitter and apply them to the center of the sensor window.
NOTE:
Although the 284M appears dark to the eye, it is transparent to infrared. Positioning the 284M
directly over the infrared window(s) of the component(s) will not block direct IR control from a handheld
remote.
OPERATION
To use the Xtra Link Remote Control Extension System, simply point your handheld remote control(s) at
the 291-00 IR Receiver and press the desired button. A red LED on the front of the 291-00 will indicate the
reception of your infrared command.
NOTE:
The maximum usable distance between your IR remote and the 291-00 Receiver will vary for each
remote and might be shorter than when directly used in the room containing the satellite receiver or other
IR controlled devices.
ADVANCED MULTIROOM HOOKUP

shows an advanced system using two Xtra Links in a multiroom installation. Except for the addition
of a 2-way DC passing RF splitter (such as Xantech part no. 04027500), the connections are essentially
the same.
