IR EXTENDER SET UP
What is an IR Extender Cable?
The WS55 comes with an IR Extender that allows you to control your source device with its remote from
the TV’s location. The remote’s IR signal is transmitted by the Receiver to the Transmitter and then
through the IR Extender to the source device.
Need help finding your IR sensor?
Cut a piece of cardboard to the same size as the front panel of your source device and place a 1 inch hole in
the middle of the cardboard. Power ON your source device and play a movie or other video content. Place the
cardboard hole over the left side of the source device and using the source’s remove control directly over the
cardboard hole, press the pause button repetitively while gradually moving the cardboard hole from left to right
making sure to keep the remote control’s beam directly over the cardboard hole. Once the source device
recognizes the pause button being pressed, you have located the position of the remote control IR sensor on
the source device and that is where you will place the IR Extender’s sensor.
