What is an IR Extender cable?
The ARIES™ Home and Home+ come 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 device’s remote
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.
