Connecting the SLM-1 IR Sensor
Your MBX-AMP is designed to work seamlessly with most TV's
so that your MBX-AMP and its connected speakers can be
used with the TV sound output. An SLM-1 IR Sensor is includ-
ed with the MBX-AMP so that your TV remote can control the
volume of the MBX-AMP. See the next page for information
on configuring your IR remote control settings.
Note: Before connecting or disconnecting the SLM-1 IR Sensor or
anyother device wiring, make sure that the power cord is discon-
nected from the MBX-AMP first. Once all connections have been
made and verified, re-connect the MBX-AMP power cord.

IR LEARNING
IR Learning
The MBX-AMP is designed to be used with virtually all
standard remote controls such as a cable box or satellite
TV remote control or even a television’s original remote
control. The MBX-AMP can be taught the commands for
, Volume-, and Mute. With these three commands,
you can easily share your room’s loudspeakers between
your TV and your Russound MBX multiroom audio system.
Steps to teach the IR commands to your MBX-AMP
1. Hold and Play/Pause on front panel of the MBX
AMP to enter IR learning mode. When in IR learning mode the
LED should blink green slowly. The device will exit IR learning
mode in 10 seconds if nothing is pressed so observe the LED
while setting up.
2. Tap random buttons on the 3rd party remote to establish
the remote is there (this first step does not learn any buttons).
You can also do this by holding down one random remote
button until the IR input picks up the signal. The LED should
fast blink green twice (1 second) then continue blinking
slowly.
