About the Niles MF1VF

Barry Montgomery
This tiny infrared (IR) flasher mounts to the front panel of an A/V component, enabling easy control from secondary listening rooms, using either your regular remote control or a universal remote. Use one MF1VF flasher for each component you want to control, and combine them with an IR system hub and one IR sensor for each secondary listening room. This not only lets you control your complete A/V system from your secondary rooms, but also lets you place your components out of sight in a cabinet or closet.

This tiny infrared (IR) flasher mounts to the front panel of an A/V component, enabling easy control from secondary listening rooms, using either your regular remote control or a universal remote. Use one MF1VF flasher for each component you want to control, and combine them with an IR system hub and one IR sensor for each secondary listening room. This not only lets you control your complete A/V system from your secondary rooms, but also lets you place your components out of sight in a cabinet or closet.

Using your IR repeater system is simple. In any of your secondary listening rooms, just point your remote control at the mounted IR sensor and enter system commands. The sensor relays your commands to the IR hub, which passes the signals on to the flashers, which in turn transmit your commands to your components. A built-in LED on the MF1VF flashes whenever a command is transmitted, for easier installation.

Thanks to this flasher's ultra-compact design and built-in adhesive strip, it's easy to mount one of these flashers on the front of each of your IR-remote-controlled components. And because the MF1VF is transparent to infrared light, it won't interfere with the use of IR remotes in your main room.

Features

IR System Overview:  An infrared (IR) extender system enables you to control your IR remote controlled A/V equipment from a remote location. This enables you to place your A/V components out of sight (behind cabinet doors, in the rear of a room, or in a different room) and still conveniently control your equipment.

IR System Components: The MF1VF IR MicroFlasher is one of three elements that make up an infrared extender system:

  • IR Main System Unit (sold separately): The IR Main System Unit provides a connection hub for the IR sensors and the IR flashers and is generally located near the A/V components. The Main System Unit's level controls and LED indicators enable you to calibrate and troubleshoot an IR extender system. The Main System Unit is the "heart" of an IR extender system.
  • IR Sensors/Keypad:
    • IR Sensors (sold separately): IR Sensors are the "eyes" of the system, receiving IR commands from hand-held remote controls and relaying the commands to the Main System Unit via a 2-conductor shielded cable. Generally, sensors are placed so that you can easily and naturally point your remote control directly at them. Sensors are available in wall-mount, ceiling-mount, surface-mount and table-top models.
    • Keypad (sold separately): The IntelliPad is a wall-mounted, programmable IR keypad system that provides a unique LED power status display and the convenience of true one-button remote control of complex audio/video systems.
  • IR Flashers: IR Flashers re-transmit the infrared signals from the IR Main System Unit to your A/V components. Flashers are the "voice" of an IR extender system that "speaks" to your components.

Universal Compatibility: When used in a complete system, this IR MicroFlasher is compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls (virtually all brands of remotes using carrier frequencies between 20 and 455 kHz).

Red LED: The MF1VF provides visible feedback of flasher operation via a red LED in the flasher housing.

Mounting: The MF1VF is designed for pin-point relaying of IR commands, so it is typically mounted to the infrared remote sensor window of an audio/video component using the self-adhesive backing.

Hi Rob, thank you for your question. You will need to use an IR Main System Unit to connect with this flasher. IR Flashers re-transmit the infrared signals from the IR Main System Unit to your A/V components. IR Transmitting range is typically 4', however, please chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, an Advisor will be happy to go over your current IR Main System, ensure compatibility, distance, and the needs of your system.
