Here’s How PowerBlaster™Works:
1. RF series remote controls (RF10, RF20, RF30) send RF
(Radio Frequency) signals to PowerBlaster™, which is an
RF receiver.
2. PowerBlaster
™
converts RF signals
to IR (Infrared)
commands and sends them out to
components in the same cabinet
space via the built-in front blaster.
