TYPICAL CONNECTIONS

SINGLE ROOM - EQUIPMENT CABINET

With the IR Receiver configured and installed in a surface mount, TV mount, 
flush mount or tabletop application as described on the previous pages, install 
the Connecting Block and then connect the IR Receiver, Emitters and Power 
Supply to the Connecting Block as described below.

1. 

Find a convenient location in the equipment cabinet to mount the 

 

789-44 Connecting Block. This location should allow easy access for 
making connections and be located so the IR Receiver, Emitter and 
Power Supply wires can all be connected without modification. Attach the 
Connecting Block to a cabinet wall or shelf with the included adhesive strips 
or appropriate hardware (wood screws - not included. Be sure screws are 
long enough to secure the block but not so long that they extend out of the 
side of the cabinet).

2.

  Connect the IR Receiver to the “IR RCVR” jack on the 789-44 Connecting 

Block. (Connect the red IR Receiver plug to the red Connecting Block jack.)

 

 

3.

   Carefully position the 283D IR Emitters over the IR Eye on each audio/

video component to be controlled. (If the eye is not obvious, shine a small 
flashlight into the front panel of the component to locate the eye, or refer to 
the component’s owner’s manual.)

4.

  Position the IR Emitter so the mini-wire is positioned toward the nearest top 

or bottom edge on the component being controlled.

5.

  Carefully wrap the Emitter mini-wire around to the back of the component 

and run the Emitter wire to the Connecting Block, being careful to not pinch 
the wire between components.
