The Home Theater installation on the cover was designed and installed by Stone-Glidden of King of Prussia and Doylestown, PA. [. . . ] This confirms that the signal was received and understood perfectly. If you repeat any button press multiple times and the Status LED lights correctly every time, you have no interference and a very reliable installation. If some of the presses do not light the Status LED, you still have some RFI. Your best strategy is return to step 3 and try to find a better location for the MRF-260. Now that the location is fixed, connect each of the emitters to the appropriate IR output and run the cable to the appropriate component. Do not attach the emitters to the front panel yet!Utilize the included preprinted labels to identify which emitter goes to which component. If you'd like to make your own, the slots for the labels have been sized at 12mm to enable a Brother P-Touch 12mm label to fit perfectly. NOTE: TiVo, Replay TV, other DVRs, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation. For this reason, it is recommended that you always connect the IR flashers for these types of component to the Variable IR Outputs of the MRF-260. Page 4 MRF-260 BASE STATION Testing Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device. Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly. Put up the on screen guide and test the navigation arrows. Compare operation via RF to the original remote control. If operation is inconsistent or sluggish, lower the IR line output and/or reposition the flasher. If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to a particular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands are sent to all the flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the IR Output. Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-4) Line Output, then readjust the IR Line Output level. Note: Remember, the MRF-260 will NOT respond if you select IR line outputs 5 or 6. The MRF-260 has only four IR Line Outputs. Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to the front panel of each component. Adjust each of the IR Output levels for best operation. If the component operates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermittently, move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor.
