XTRA LINK® 2  
REMOTE CONTROL EXTENSION SYSTEM  
The Xtra Link 2 system provides full remote control operation of a satellite receiver, cable box or VCR from  
a second room by sharing the coaxial cable connecting your video equipment to this second room’s TV.  
The 172-94 Xtra Link 2 consists of the following supplied parts (Fig.1):  
1. One 291-00 IR Receiver. It is placed at the remote room location to receive IR signals from the  
handheld remote controller.

2. One INJ94 Injector. This unit, located in the Remote  
Room, injects the remote control signal into the room-  
to-room coaxial cable (along with the TV signal) and  
passes it to the CPL94B Coupler in the Main room. It  
also provides quick connection of the 291-00 IR Re-  
ceiver and 781C-00 Power Supply cables.

3. One CPL94B Coupler. Located in the Main Room,  
this Coupler extracts the remote control signal from  
the coaxial cable and passes it to the emitters that  
control your IR remote controlled audio/video source  
components. Two emitter jacks are provided for con-  
trol of up to four components.

4. One 282M high output emitter and one 283M Blink-  
IRTM emitter. These permit acontrol of two IR remote  
controlled components. The visible output of the 283M allows it to also be used for troubleshooting.  
5. Two short coaxial cables. One connects the TV signal source to the CPL94B Coupler in the Main  
Room. The other connects the INJ94 Injector to the TV in the Remote Room.  
6. A 781C-00 Power supply. This plugs into an unswitched 120V AC outlet to provide power to the 291-  
00 IR Receiver.

The Xtra Link system uses the coaxial  
cable that carries the TV RF signal from  
the source equipment in the main room  
to the remote room, to send the IR  
control signals back to the source equip-  
ment. The coaxial cable may be up to  
one mile in length.

If you already have a coaxial cable con-  
necting your video equipment with a re-  
mote room, your current hookup should  
be similar to Fig. 2. If it isn't, run a single  
length of RG59 or preferably RG6 cable  
fromtheMainRoomtotheRemoteRoom.

INSTALLING THE CPL94B COUPLER:  
Connect the other short coaxial cable between "SAT/VCR" on the CPL94B Coupler and the RF splitter.  
Connect the room-to-room cable to "REMOTE TV" on the CPL94B Coupler.  
Make the remaining connections from the RF splitter to the "OUT TO TV" on VCR, the RF splitter to the  
local TV, etc., as shown in Fig. 3.  
NOTE: If your main room TV has A/V input jacks, you may connect the VCR and Satellite Receiver with  
A/V patch cords instead of using the RF IN jack on the TV and the RF splitter. Refer to Fig. 3 for typical  
connections.  
INSTALLING THE IR EMITTERS:  
Plug the supplied emitters into the jacks marked "EMITTER" on the CPL94B. Next, remove the paper  
backing exposing the adhesive surface of each emitter. Press the adhesive side directly into place over the  
center of the infrared sensor "window" on the front panel of the satellite receiver, VCR, etc.  
NOTE: It may not be possible to place emitters on the sensor of some products (such as RCA DSS  
receivers). In such cases, use the high output 282M emitter placed close to the sensor or on a nearby shelf,  
etc. (within 6 inches).

OPERATION  
When you use the system, a red LED on the front of the 291-00 and the 283M emitter will flash when  
receiving your infrared commands.  
The maximum usable distance between your IR remote and the 291-00 Receiver will vary for each remote  
and might be shorter than when directly used in the room containing the satellite revceiver or other IR  
controlled devices.  
The 172-94 system may be left on continuously as it does not affect the normal operation of the remote  
controlled device(s) and consumes very little energy.  
NOTE: Although the emitters appear dark to the eye, they are transparent to infrared. Positioning them  
directly over the infrared window(s) of the component(s) will not block direct IR control from your handheld  
remote.  
ADVANCED MULTIROOM HOOKUP  
Fig. 4 shows an advanced system using two Xtra Links in a multiroom installation. Except for the addition  
of a 2-way DC passing RF splitter (such as the Xantech Model 200-00), the connections are essentially the  
same. To obtain just the parts needed for the 3rd room, order the 172-94X Xtra Link2 expansion kit. (Note:  
Theexpansionkitdoesnotincludea2-wayDCpassingRFsplitter. Thesplittermustbeorderedseparately).  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
In some cases, the 291-00 IR Receiver may have to be moved to a different location if the unit is picking  
up interference. This interference may, in severe cases, prevent the system from working.  
Common sources of interference are:  
• RF radiation from the TV set on which the 291-00 IR Receiver may have been placed.  
• Direct or reflected sunlight.  
• Fluorescent, Compact Fluorescent, Neon, Neon Art, Halogen lights or light dimmers.  
• Active Infrared security systems.  
You can confirm the source of the interference by temporarily turning off or isolating the 291-00 Receiver  
from such sources. Then check to see if the 291-00 operates the satellite receiver or other components.  
If the 291-00 still does not work, reposition the Emitters. They may not be located directly over the  
component’s infrared receiving sensor. Consult the owner's manual of the unit or the manufacturer for the  
exact location of the infrared "window" sensor.  
If you have one or more TV sets in rooms where you do not have Xtra links and they share the same DC  
passing RF splitter, you must use DC Blockers (Xantech Model 203-00) connected in the coaxial line to  
each of these TV sets. This is a must to prevent such TV sets from "shorting out" the IR control signal.  
IMPORTANT: For installations involving more than two remote rooms, use the services of a competent  
professional audio/video installer experienced in infrared remote control systems.
