Figure 15. IR emitters so the signal can be “seen” by the
IR sensor on each device.
IMPORTANT
Position IR emitters so that each device’s
sensor “sees” the signal from only one
emitter. Otherwise, a device receiving signals
from multiple sources (remote controls, IR
emitters) may not respond at all.
