MRF-200 BASE STATION with the enclosed screws, then the receiver is slid back into place. Step 3 - Connect the Power Supply and Insert the Batteries Connect the 9V power supply to an active UNSWITCHED AC outlet. The MRF200 must always be powered up to operate.The red POWER LED should light. Insert the batteries in the MX-800 remote control. Step 4 - Test the MX-800 Observe the MRF-200's STATUS LED blinking while you press and hold a programmed button (one with an actual command).This tells you that the MRF200 is receiving the RF commands of the MX-800. Step 5 - Orient the Antenna for Optimum Range If you need to extend the range of the remote, try adjusting the angle of the MRF-200 receiving antenna via it's pivoting ball mount. Step 6 - Test Operation Without Flashers With the MX-800's IR output blocked by a jacket or pillow, test the control of your components using just the Front Blaster. In most cabinets, the MRF-200's Front Blaster will control any A/V components in the same cabinet space by reflections from the cabinet walls and doors. Make sure that the components operate with the cabinet doors closed or open. If a component is placed too far away from the front blaster, you will need to utilize the included Flashers plugged into the MRF-200's rear Flasher Line Output jacks. If you have problems with components that are close to the Front Blaster, see the next page and the section on Front Blaster Overload. Step 7 - Connect Flashers to Out of Sight A/V Components Important Note: Test the operation BEFORE sticking the flasher in place. Use a flashlight to identify the correct location of the component's IR sensor, then try a few commands while moving the flasher around the face plate of the component. The most reliable operation typically occurs a half inch or so away from the IR sensor. Once you have found the spot that gives the most reliable operation, peel off the protective backing of the self-adhesive tape on the included Flashers and stick them in place. Important Note: Always replace the self-adhesive tabs if you have to reposition a flasher. Six extra self-adhesive tabs are supplied for this purpose. Page 6
