Getting Started

While the Remote Control Anywhere! Kit is compatible
with most brands of audio/video components, there are 
a few exceptions. You should perform 
a temporary hook-up to test for compatibility before you
conceal wire or permanently mount any parts. 

Steps One through Five describe how to perform a
quick and easy check for compatibility.

Once you have determined that all of your remote 
controlled A/V components are compatible,
proceed with the rest of the installation.

Installation

Step 1 – Placing the Connection Hub

Place the Connection Hub so that the MicroFlasher wires
will reach the components. 

Never place the connection hub closer than 
1' away from a television set (Figure 1).
