2

2.3
How to Position the Extender when Using the Front Blaster
For optimal results, the Extender should be positioned horizontally, either facing up or facing
down.
Make sure to place the Extender in a
central position
aimed directly at the A/V devices.
The front blaster (the front part of the dark plastic window on top of the Extender) in
particular should be aimed at the devices, since the IR signals sent out by the IR blaster must
reach the IR receivers of the devices.
For optimal IR reception, position the Extender so the devices are located within its
working
range
, as shown in the picture below.
