Philips Universal Remote RFX600099 User Manual

Introduction  
Introduction  
Note:  
In this user guide Pronto is used for both ProntoPro and Pronto remote controls.  
RFX6000 is compatible with TSU3000 and TSU6000.  
About the RFX6000  
Most remote control systems have to be operated by pointing the remote control  
directly towards a device. Any obstacle between the remote control and the device  
disturbs the operating signal. But what if you like to place your devices inside a  
closed cabinet, a closet or even in another room?  
The RFX6000 provides the solution to overcome obstacles like furniture or walls.  
Your devices no longer have to be placed in line of sight but can be operated from  
virtually any location. The RFX6000 is a RF Extender that is used in combination  
with the Pronto Remote Control. The RF Extender receives radio frequency (RF)  
signals sent out by the Pronto and converts them into infrared (IR) signals. These  
IR signals are then sent out to your TV, DVD, preamplifier and so on.

Installation  
Installation  
The following components should be present: RF Extender, power adapter,  
4 dual IR emitters, mounting plate and 4 screws.  
Before you install the RF Extender, you should decide which of the set-ups  
described on p. 2 apply to your needs. It is recommended to read through the  
entire User Guide.  
Working Angle and Range of the IR blaster  
Warning The IR signals sent out by the RF Extender always have to be able to reach the  
receiving eyes of your devices. Make sure that the IR blaster (dark plastic window  
on top of the RF Extender) is aimed at your devices.  
To get optimal results, it is recommended to place the RF Extender horizontally  
with the IR blaster facing up or down.  
Minimum distance:  
4 inches (10 cm)  
Maximum distance:  
Approx. 16 feet (5 m)  
Figure 1: IR blaster facing down  
Figure 2: IR blaster facing up  
Figure 1 represents the RF Extender mounted up side down inside a closet.  
Always maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) between the RF Extender  
and your devices.  
Figure 2 represents the RF Extender with the IR blaster facing up. The RF Extender  
can be placed at a distance and higher than your devices. Make sure there are no  
objects between the RF Extender and the receiving eyes of the devices.

Installation  
Mounting  
The RF Extender can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included  
mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working  
angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. 3. Also make sure to place the  
RF Extender in a central position aimed directly at your devices.  
Warning It is adviced not to place the RF Extender inside or near a metal closet as  
RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects.

Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the RF Extender.  
Screw the plate to a rack, closet or another piece of furniture.  
Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the  
RF Extender back on.  
Note  
Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the RF Extender to the  
furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape. Look for the right position and make sure  
there is sufficient space.

Slide the RF Extender on the mounting plate.  
Using the Dual IR Emitters  
Like the IR blaster of the RF Extender, the dual IR emitters send out IR signals.  
You can use the dual IR emitters as an alternative for the IR blaster.  
When to use the emitters  
The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when  
there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e.g. in a small  
closet.  
Note  
The IR emitters can also be used in combination with the IR blaster of the  
RF Extender. Both send out IR signals simultaneously. This allows you to operate  
several devices using both the IR blaster and the IR emitters.

Installation  
How to use the emitters  
The dual IR emitters can be attached to the surrounding surface facing the  
receiving eyes or directly to the receiving eyes.  
1
Attach the emitters to a surface above, below or in front of the  
receiving eyes of your devices (for aesthetic appearance or when it is  
difficult to locate the receiving eye).  
– or –  
Attach the emitters directly to the receiving eyes of your devices.  
2
Plug the dual IR emitters into the RF Extender.  
Note  
To avoid interference, the wires of the emitters  
should be kept away from the RF Extender as far  
as possible.  
Connecting the Power Adapter  
When connecting the power adapter it is recommended  
that you plug the adapter into the RF Extender before  
you plug it into the socket. When connected you will  
see a red LED on the RF Extender.  
Note  
To avoid interference, the adapter cable should be kept away from the  
RF Extender as far as possible.

Installation  
Settings  
As the RF Extender ‘communicates’ with the Pronto Remote Control, you have to  
set the same Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on  
whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders.  
Single RF Extender  
When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the  
Extender ID (ID=0). Make sure your Pronto Remote Control is set to the same  
default setting (see the Pronto User Guide for more details).  
Multiple RF Extenders  
If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped on  
different locations, you will need multiple RF Extenders. When using several  
RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each RF Extender.  
16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F) can be assigned.  
1
Choose an Extender ID for the RF Extender by turning  
the ID dial with a small screwdriver.  
2
On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the  
same Extender ID for each device controlled  
by the RF Extender.  
Refer to the Pronto User Guide for more  
information.

Try to operate your devices with the Pronto Remote Control.  
The red LED will blink when the RF Extender receives a correct command.  
Repeat this procedure for every RF Extender.  
RF Interference  
If your devices are not responding to commands or if the red LED on the IR blaster  
is blinking without sending commands, it might be possible that there is RF  
interference. This can be the case when other RF appliances are operated nearby,  
for instance at your neighbours.  
When you notice RF interference, you have to choose another channel on your  
RF Extender. 4 channels (CH from 0 to 3) can be assigned.

2
Choose a channel for the RF Extender by turning the CH dial with a  
small screwdriver.  
On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the same channel for the  
devices controlled by the RF Extender.  
Refer to the Pronto guide for more information.

Troubleshooting  
Troubleshooting  
Devices do not respond properly  
Check if the power adapter is connected and the red LED is on.  
Check if the ID and channel numbers on the RF Extender match with the ID and  
channel numbers on the Pronto Remote Control (see p. 6). Refer to the Pronto  
User Guide for more details on the settings of the Remote Control.  
Check the placement of the RF Extender:  
Check the distance between the RF Extender and the Pronto Remote  
Control (see p. 2).  
Check the range and the working angle of the IR blaster (see p. 3).  
Check if the RF Extender is placed in a central position relative to your  
devices (see p. 4).  
Make sure that the distance between the RF Extender and your device is  
at least 4 inches (10 cm).  
Make sure that the distance between the RF Extender and your device is  
at most 16 feet (5 m).  
Make sure the IR signals between the RF Extender and the receiving eyes  
of your devices are not disturbed by any objects.  
Check if metal objects, for instance a metal closet, wires or cables,  
surrounding the RF Extender do not disturb the RF signals.  
If you are using the dual IR emitters, make sure they are connected  
properly and that they are placed within range of the receiving eyes  
(see p. 5).  
It might be possible that some commands cannot be sent out as RF signals.  
In that case you will have to reconfigure the Pronto Remote Control to operate  
your devices with IR signals again.  
The red LED on the RF Extender blinks without using the Pronto Remote  
Control  
This indicates RF interference. Another device in the proximity is sending out  
RF signals. Change the channel (CH) on the RF Extender (see p. 7).  
There is no red LED on my RF Extender  
Check if the power adapter is connected properly.  
The dual IR emitters are no longer adhesive  
Replace the adhesive with a fresh piece of the 2-sided tape.  
I cannot find the exact location of the device’s receiving eye  
Check the manual of the device.  
When still in doubt, contact your supplier or the manufacturer.
