Troubleshooting
■ Red indicator lights when a button is pressed, but the audio/video
equipment does not respond to remote commands - reposition the
infrared Emitter so that it is directly on the “IR sensor window” of the
component you wish to control. Sometimes the location of the IR sensor
is not obvious. Consult the owner’s manual or the manufacturer of the
component to determine its exact location.

■ Red indicator flickers at random - The HE1000A is designed to
receive infrared signals and occasionally it may pick up random infrared
“noise.” The random flickering does not cause any harm, unless it
appears to interfere with proper response to commands. Try moving or
turning the HE1000A Remote Eye so that it is not affected by strong
sunlight or light from at television screen. If flickering persists, try turning
off the television receiver to see if it is affecting the HE1000A. The
HE1000A Remote Eye may be moved away from the television to
eliminate problems. Noisy electronic light dimmers may also cause
interference. Try turning them off to test them.

Operation
Use the Reomote Eye as you would use the remote sensor window on
any audio or video component. Simply point the handheld remote con-
trol 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.

How to avoid Problems
In rare cases, the location of the HE1000A Remote Eye may have to be
changed if it is on top off or near a TV set and if TV set is causing enough
interference to prevent the HE1000A system from working. 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.

Remote Eye will operate all of them. 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).
