3.2 Using the IR Transmitter

You can use the RC-IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR

receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver (Model:

from the machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used

with three extension cables (Model: C-A35M/A35F-50).

Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer dealer to

insert the internal IR connection cable (for example, P/N: 505-70434010-S) with

the 3.5mm connector that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel.

Connect the external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.
