Many people these days like to house their AV equipmet inside a cupboard so
that it is out of the way. The problem is that you can't control these items
as the infra-red remote control signals cannot get inside the cupboard! This
is where the 490-95KIT comes in. You install the MicroLink infra-red receiver
into the cabinet, so just the receiver top is visible (requires drilling,
etc), and then run it's cable inside the cupboard and plug it into the 789-44
Connecting Block. You then plug in the supplied single infra-red emitters,
and then stick those onto the infra-red receiver window of up to 4 pieces of
equipment that you want to control. You can now control all the items inside
your cupboard.
The Kit is supplied with all the items you need, and it is a simple plug and
play operation.
Note that this kit is NOT suitable for controlling some models of
Digital Cable box (see Compatibility Chart below). If you wish to control one
of the non compatible cable boxes inside a cupboard then you would
need to additionally buy a universal remote like
this
and also a
RedEye.
The universal remote sends Philips infra-red codes. They go through the
Xantech equipment no problem. The Xantech emitter is then stuck onto the face
of the RedEye, and the RedEye translates the Philips codes into IrDA
infra-red that the cable box understands. The RedEye sticks onto the front of
the cable box.
