Features and Benefits

Interference Rejection and Extended Range via Narrow Band

The MRF-260i receives RF (radio frequency) signals via its integrated
RF receiver and antenna. The MRF-260i displays RF interference via a
bright red Status LED, which flickers when interference is present if the
ID is set to 0. Simply relocate the MRF-260i should interference occur.

Two Fixed IR Outputs

The MRF-260i is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard
3.5 jacks for standard IR emitter/flashers.

Two Variable IR Outputs Match Rear Panel IR Inputs

The MRF-260i is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs. Each
output can be individually matched to rear panel IR inputs on any
component that is designed to be operated by a standard IR repeater.
The outputs utilize a 3.5mm jack and are compatible with standard IR
emitter/flashers as well.

Up To Fifteen Equipment Locations With Identical Components

Each MX/TX remote is “addressable.” They can be programmed to
specifically control components in a particular room by installing an
MRF-260i base station at each location.  In operation it’s simple: when
you select a device located in the Den, the MX/TX remote only sends
commands to the Den.  When you select a device located in the
Family Room, the MX/TX remote only sends commands to it.

A Single MRF-260i Can Control an Array of Identical Components
or Identical Zones of a Multi Zone Preamp/Matrix Switcher

Each MRF-260i has four “addressable” IR Line Outputs. For example,
you can control up to four identical TV’s with one MRF-260i or route
volume commands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on
a multi-zone preamp.  If you have more than four identical compo-
nents or zones, up to 15 additional MRF-260is can be installed to con-
trol them (thus allowing up to 60 identical components or zones in
one house).
