Xantech DL85
Universal Dinky Link Standard Range IR Rcvr
- Make sure that the cable box cannot see the IR signal from the remote and from the DL85K at the same time. If it does, the IR will cancel out when the two signals are presented at the same time
- Make sure that if the DL85's wire has been extended with CAT5 or CAT6 that is does not exceed 100'. If so, replace wire with 22/4 stranded wire, which is good up to 1000'. Also, never run wire parallel to existing electrical wires as this will cause unwanted interference in the system
- Locate IR sensor on cable box
- Make sure the emitter is placed exactly over the IR sensor on the cable box
- Have an additional person help locate proper emitter location on cable box
- One person needs to press and hold down the CH+ button on the remote while the TV is on, pointing it at the DL85 IR receiver
- One person will hold the emitter 1/16 of an inch away from the faceplate of the cable box and SLOWLY move it around until it changes the channels continuously.
- Once channels are changing flawlessly, place the emitter in that location
