Precautions
Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out
dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough
material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

Introduction
About the RFR-5
Most remote controller systems have to be
operated by pointing the remote controller
directly towards a device. Any obstacle between
the remote controller and the device disturbs the
operating signal. But what if you like to place
your devices inside a closed cabinet, a closet or
even in another room? The RFR-5 provides the
solution to overcome obstacles like furniture or
walls. Your devices no longer have to be placed in
line of sight but can be operated from virtually
any location. The RFR-5 is a RF Receiver that is
used in combination with the Chad Remote
Controller. The RF Receiver receives radio
frequency (RF) signals sent out by the Chad and
converts them into infrared (IR) signals. These IR
signals are then sent out to your TV, DVD,
preamplifier and so on.

Introduction
Possible Set-ups
The RF Receiver can be used in several situations:
■ Your devices can be remotely controlled while the RF Receiver is placed in line of sight (situation
A).
■ The RF Receiver controls devices placed in an adjacent room (situation B).
■ The RF Receiver is placed inside a closet, a rack or another piece of furniture together with your
devices (situation C).
■ The set-ups in situation A, B and C can be combined. If you want to control devices in different
locations, you have to place a RF Receiver in each location. You can control all RF Receiver with
the same Chad Remote Controller. See Multiple RF Receiver on p. 8 to apply the necessary
settings.
