Elan IRS5 Single table-top IR sensor

IR sensors — out of sight

When it comes to home décor, your preference is for simplicity and minimalism. That is, nothing more than the clean, sharp lines of furniture with only a few adornments — a vase, a photo frame, a candle. And this principle applies as much to your formal sitting room as to your home theater area. Accordingly, you've opted to install all of your A/V components (save the wall-mounted HDTV, of course) inside a closet or a closed wooden credenza. That way, your room's pristine feng shui remains completely uncluttered by big, black, boxy receivers, Blu-ray players, satellite receivers, etc. There's just one problem, though . . . now that all of your components are tucked away behind a door, you can no longer use your remote's infrared (IR) signal to command your system. The solution, of course, is an IR control system. A single, compact IR receiver unit mounted outside the cabinet communicates with all of the hidden components, maintaining your system's IR operation while keeping things clutter-free. For a seamless, clutter-free IR system, look to an IR sensors like the IRS5. Designed for table-top placement, the IRS5 sports a weighted base with non-skid, no-scjff pad. Connected to an IR receiver or connecting block, the IRS5 receives your remote control's IR signal and transmits it along toward the intended component. You enjoy full IR control of your system while keeping all your components neatly tucked away.

Plasma friendly

In any home theater installation, signal interference is a major concern. Whether the source is a speaker driver's magnet or the proximity of receivers and disc players, electromagnetic radiation can result in the degradation of signals. And signal degradation results in a reduction in A/V fidelity and performance. This phenomenon also applies to the relationship between emissions from plasma HDTVs and IR signals. Assuring the highest possible signal-transmission fidelity, Elan has engineered the IRS5 with a unique filtering system that minimizes interference, allowing for great flexibility in placement.
