4.4 CONNECTING THE IR MODULE

POWER
1. Connect the installed IR Extender cables with blaster LEDs) to the 'IR OUT'
connection on the IR Module.
2. Connect the installed IR Receiver cable to the 'IR IN' connection on the IR Module:
3. Connect the USB Power adapter to the 'POWER' connection on the IR Module and
plug this into an electrical socket.
4. If the Invisible Control 6 XTRA™ is correctly connected, the 'IR data' light will blink
on the IR Module if you press a button on the (infrared) remote control while
pointing towards the IR receiver.
5. Close the doors of your cabinet to ensure that the A/V equipment cannot receive
an infrared command directly from the remote control as this can lead to
operational problems.
6. You can now operate the A/V equipment via the Invisible Control 6 XTRA™
through closed cupboard doors!

5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The A/V equipment does not respond to signals from my remote control.
Take the following instructions into account:
• The IR receiver has a receiving sensitivity of about 10 metres with an acceptance
angle of 60 degrees. Range is also dependent on the remote control used.
• If the 'IR data' light on the IR Module is continuously illuminated, the IR receiver is
probably being disrupted by another infrared signal. Try to locate the IR receiver so
that it encounters as little disruption as possible from, for example, direct sunlight,
Flat Screen TVs, (LCD, Plasma, LED), fluorescent lighting or energy-efficient light bulbs.
• The IR receiver does not work with some A/V devices and models that use higher IR
frequencies such as Bang&Olufsen (B&O).
• Ensure that the IR receiver and the IR extender cable are correctly connected and
that these are plugged in properly.
• Ensure that the IR extender cable's LEDs are stuck precisely on the A/V device's
infrared sensor. The exact position can easily be located by shining a torch on them.
• Some IR windows from set-top and satellite boxes are very sensitive and are easily
disrupted. These devices then receive too much infrared light and will either work
badly or not work at all. Relocate the IR LED so that less infrared light is received via
the IR window.
