HOW TO AVOID PROBLEMS

In rare cases, the 291-00 IR Receiver may have to be moved to a different location if the unit is picking up
interference. This interference may, in severe cases, prevent the system from working.

Common examples of interference are:

• RF radiation from the TV set on which the 291-00 IR Receiver may have been placed.

• Direct or reflected sunlight.

• Fluorescent, Compact Fluorescent, Neon, Neon Art, Halogen lights or light dimmers.

• Infrared security systems.

You can confirm the source of the interference by temporarily turning off the remote room TV set, isolating
the 291-00 Receiver from all sunlight and turning off all lights, light dimmers and Infrared security systems.
Then check to see if the 291-00 operates the satellite receiver or other components.

If the 291-00 still does not work, reposition the 284M Emitter(s).  It may not be located directly over the
component’s infrared receiving "window".  Consult the owner's manual of the unit or the manufacturer for
the exact location of the infrared "window".

IMPORTANT:  For installations involving more than two remote rooms, use the services of a competent
professional audio/video installer experienced in infrared remote control systems.
