Control Hidden
Stereo Components With a Remote Control
Hide those big black boxes with their tangled wires that make up your home entertainment system.
Now you can house them in a built-in custom enclosure or decorative armoire and have clean, uncluttered décor while still being able to use your remote control. Take advantage of the latest wired and wireless control circuitry with user-installable remote repeater setups in home electronics to have the best of both worlds: style and convenience.

Instructions
Install the IR Repeater System
1. Determine the number of components to be controlled and remote-control locations.
Obtain a Repeater system having the number of IR receivers and emitters needed.
2. Mount the IR receiver outside of the cabinet at a location having line-of-sight visibility to the remote control operating the components.
Route the IR Receiver's wire through a suitable hole to the IR Repeater location inside the cabinet.
Route IR Receiver's wire through the edge of the cabinet door if you don't want to drill a hole in the cabinet.
3. Mount the IR Repeater inside the cabinet suitable to route the IR Emitter wires to the component locations.
Connect the IR Repeater power supply to AC power and the IR Repeater.
Connect the IR Receiver to the IR Repeater's IR input jack.
4. Place an IR Emitter on the IR sensor of each component to be controlled. If they're not self-adhesive, use the double-sided tape trimmed to fit each IR Emitter to secure them.
Route the IR Emitter wires to the IR repeater and connect them (reference 2)
5. Turn on the entertainment system and operate your remote functions to confirm the IR Repeater system is working properly.
If it doesn't operate properly, check your wiring and location of the IR Receiver(s) and IR Emitters.
