GETTING STARTED
While the Remote Control Anywhere! Kit is compatible with most brands of audio/video components,
there are a few exceptions. You should perform a temporary hook-up to test for compatibility
before you conceal wire or permanently mount any parts.
Steps One through Five describe how to perform a quick and easy check for compatibility. Once you
have determined that all of your remote controlled A/V components are compatible, proceed
with the rest of the installation.
