Introduction
An infrared router enables you to control identical audio/video
components independently of each other. This allows you to
incorporate multiple CD changers, DSS receivers, televisions,
etc. of the same make and model into a home entertainment
system and control them individually.
Installed in the equipment location, the PAR4 is connected to
your infrared (IR) extender system and turns pre-specified
“routes” on and off, passing infrared commands to a single
component or group of components.
The PAR4 is compatible with all current Niles infrared Main
System Units (MSUs). It may be used along with the MSU140,
MSU250, MSU480 and the MSU440Z.
