Mounting the IRC 
 
In most cases, you’ll mount the IRC directly to the TV, either below or above. Mounting below the TV 
is preferred, as it’s usually the best location for IR reception from remotes, and helps to screen the 
internal IR sensors from stray ceiling-fixture IR. 
 
Installers commonly use Velcro to secure the IRC to the TV. Others will use brackets, such as our 
optional RK2 Brackets to mount the IRC to the TV, as shown below. Some combine the two 
approaches, using Velcro during the initial phase of installation, then securing with brackets when 
testing and troubleshooting is completed.  
 
 
 
 
In all cases, it’s best to mount the IRC near to the TV, monitor or video projector, simplifying wiring 
for A/V and control cables. If, for some reason, the IRC must be mounted in an equipment rack, you’ll 
need an optional RK1 Rack Mount Kit. In addition, order the IRC with the external IR In input (a 
factory-installed option) and an optional IR-RX External IR Receiver.
