By looking at the Signal column, you can see that the factory
default programming sets all of the devices to send both IR and RF
commands.  If you look at the column for Flashers, you can see that
the default sends IR commands for all devices to ALL of the flash-
ers. Both options must be changed for identical components.
Additionally, you must disable the Front Blaster (see page 6 for
directions).

Step 3 - Adjust the Signal For Each of the Identical Devices

The RF Setup window enables you to adjust the Signal output for
each device individually, by clicking on the intersection of a row
and a column and then selecting RF from the three options shown
in the pull down list box.

Select RF from the three options shown for EACH of the identical
TVs. You may leave the other components of the system set to IR
& RF.

Step 4 - Adjust the Flashers For Each of the Identical Devices

The RF Setup window enables you to adjust which Flashers output
by the remote control for each device individually, by clicking on
the intersection of a row and a column and then selecting 

1-4 

from

the seven options shown in the pull down list box. 

Select the correct Flasher (refer to your connection notes) for
EACH of the identical TVs. You may leave the other components of
the system set to ALL.
