[. . . ] If you want to control devices in different locations, you have to place a RF Extender in each location. You can operate all RF Extenders with one remote control. Situation B Situation C Situation A See Multiple RF Extenders on p. 6 to apply the necessary settings. User Guide 1 RX-77 07-25-2001 Page 2 of 6 Installation Before you install the RF Extender, you should decide which of the set-up described on p. [. . . ] It is suggested to adjust the location to find the most sencitive area before fix the emitter. Emitter 2 Plug the dual IR emitters into the RF Extender. Note To avoid interference, the wires of the emitters should be kept away from the RF Extender as far as possible. Connecting the Power Adapter When connecting the power adapter it is recommended that you plug the adapter into the RF Extender before you plug it into the socket. When connected you will see a red LED on the RF Extender. Note To avoid interference, the adapter cable should be kept away from the RF Extender as far as possible. User Guide 3 RX-77 07-25-2001 Page 4 of 6 Installation Settings As the RF Extender `communicates' with RC5200/RC9200, you have to set the same Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders. Single RF Extender When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the Extender ID (ID=0). Make sure your Remote Control is set to the same default setting (see the RC5200/RC9200 User Guide for more details). Multiple RF Extenders If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e. g. When using several RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each RF Extender. 16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F) can be assigned. 1 Choose an Extender ID for the RF Extender by turning the ID dial with a small screwdriver. 2 On the Remote Control, choose the same Extender ID for each device controlled by the RF Extender. The red LED will blink when the RF Extender receives a correct command. 4 Repeat this procedure for every RF Extender. RF Interference If your devices are not responding to commands or if the red LED on the IR blaster is blinking without sending commands, it might be possible that there is RF interference. This can be the case when other RF appliances are operated nearby, for instance at your neighbours. When you notice RF interference, you have to choose another channel on your RF Extender.
