Operation Manual

PLACEMENT
The X3 is designed to be placed on the top of a TV cabinet so that the IR Receiver can receive reflected IR
signals from the ceiling and walls - ‘A’ diagram above. The X3 should not be placed to close to the front
edge as it uses the front surface to receive the reflected signals. If the top shelf of the cabinet is glass or
perspex then we suggest you place a solid material matt underneath the X3 protruding approximately
40mm to the front.
Should you require to place your X3 on a shelf inside the cabinet - ‘B’ diagram above - then we suggest you
place it very close to the front edge. Now place a reflector made of any solid material under the X3 and
protruding by approx 40mm to the front. You can use any solid material as a Infra Red reflector and even a
plain piece of folded photo copy paper will work.

External IR Sensor (Not Supplied)
The X3 is equipped with an external IR Jack for those users who require to place the unit in a particular
location that is not in line-of-site of the remote. A third party external IR Receiver can be used as long as the
wiring termination is the same as the diagram below. For those who want to make the external IR cable
themselves we can recommend the Vishay part TSOP31138 (or equivalent) as it has been tested and works
well with the X3 .
