INTRODUCTION 
 

The 

490-95

 is designed to reject interference from 

Plasma

 Displays from entering the IR signal line. These Small IR 

Receivers are intended to be mounted in panels, doors, cabinets, etc. for control of A/V equipment behind closed doors or 

any IR Repeater System that is in close proximity of a 

Plasma

 

or 

LCD

 Displays. Modeled after the original 490-90, the 

490-95 offers the same features as its predecessor but in a smaller mounting frame.
