It may be placed on top of television receivers or monitors in most cases. See "How to Avoid Problems". Connecting the Remote Eye 1. Connect the cable coming from the back of the Remote Eye to the IR jack on the Connecting Block. Connect the One-Foot Cable from one of the OUT jacks on the Connecting Block to the REMOTE IN jack on the rear of any Harman Kardon product (except the Citation 22, 24 and 25) having such a jack.

Plug the Power Supply into an unswitched AC outlet. Operation Use the Reomote Eye as you would use the remote sensor window on any audio or video component. Simply point the handheld remote control at the Remote Eye and press the proper button. The Remote Eye dose not change the way your remote controls work. The maximum operating distance between the remote control and the Remote Eye will be different for each remote control and will be different than the range of the remote control when pointed directly at the audio or video component.

To do this, connect a patch cord fron the REMOTE OUT jack on the unit connected to the Remote Eye to the REMOTE IN jack on the next unit. Continue this process to include additional components (if they are compatible). 3. If the additional units are not directly compatible with the REMOTE OUT jack, or do not have REMOTE IN jacks, plug the cable on the infrared Emitter into the other OUT jack on the Connecting B ock.

You can confirm this by turning the TV set off and checking for operation. Similarly, compact fluorescent lamps and other lighting may also cause interference. Confirm this in the same way by turning them off. It may then be necessary to change the location of the lamps or the HE1000A Remote Eye.
