· Allows any IR remote to control hidden components

· Sends IR signals through opaque doors or to an equipment closet

· Confirmation LED acknowledges receipt of IR commands

· Single Hidden IR receiver allows remote control of up to 8 A/V devices

You don't need to leave cabinet doors open when you're enjoying your home theater. Keep your A/V components hidden from helpful little fingers, or just make your room look better, by keeping the doors closed. By setting up the Hidden IR™ infrared signal distribution system in your entertainment center, you'll be able to control up to 8 A/V devices secured in closed cabinets or closets up to 35 feet away using your existing IR remote control. This home theater accessory is so easy to use, it sets up in minutes and requires no drilling or rewiring. Your friends will think you had a pro install it!

You can link your Hidden IR system to your A/V system in minutes. Just place the Hidden IR repeater box in your equipment cabinet, affix one of the eight included IR (infrared) emitters to each A/V device's IR window, and mount the IR receiver using the included Velcro™ tape in a location where it can receive your IR remote control's transmitted signals. Place the IR receiver on a shelf or on an exposed part of the cabinet; its black color helps it hide beneath equipment of back in the shadows. It does need to be in a direct line of sight from your normal seating position when you'll be using your remote. Use your A/V remote control as usual: The Hidden IR will transmit your command to the correct home theater component, so you'll be able to use your entertainment devices as usual, even though they'll be hidden from view.

A green confirmation LED blinks when the Hidden IR system is receiving a remote control command, otherwise remaining unlit. Please note that when hiding your AV equipment, some components run hot and might require a cooling fan.

The 8 emitters included can control many different A/V devices. They're made of material that's transparent to IR light, so commands can still pass directly to individual components if desired. You may stick the emitter over the IR emitter on each component, or place on the shelf in front of the component if you prefer - they're powerful enough to get the signal to the component. Each emitter has a 6' cord so you can easily run emitters to different components. A 120 volt AC to 12 volt DC adapter is included. For use in 220/240 volt countries, use a locally obtained 220/240 VAC to 12 volt DC, 100 mA adapter.

Although not designed to reject interference from plasma or LCD TVs, you can work around this by installing the IR receiver eye in an area that isn't exposed to the TV screen - at the back of a bookshelf, on the wall below or next to the TV - somewhere the eye can't "see" the TV image. Just make sure you still have a direct line of sight from the eye to your normal seating position. See the diagram below for ideas.

The standard cable from the IR eye to the repeater box is 6' long; If you need more cable length, add our 25' Extension Cable.
