Product Description

From the Manufacturer

When used in combination with PowerBlaster™, a MasterControl™ RF series remote control (RF10, RF20, RF30) becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors – both indoors and outdoors. It enables you to control components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’ away. The PowerBlaster picks up RF remote control radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so the remote doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any component. Just imagine – no more pointing. Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your components, and still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your patio. Control your components anywhere!

RF Remotes are Ready to Go
One of the best things about this is — nothing has to be done to the remotes themselves for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on one of the MasterControl RF series remotes, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. When you install the PowerBlaster kit, it will automatically receive radio signals from RF series remotes and translate them into the infrared commands that control your components.

Quick Setup DVD Guide Makes Installation Easy
The Quick Setup DVD Guide will assist you in setting up PowerBlaster to work with your RF series remotes by guiding you through an easy step-by-step process. This Owner’s Manual is designed as a companion reference source to the DVD Setup Guide, should you need to refer back to a particular section, or review certain instruction detail not covered in the DVD. However, if you are unable to watch the DVD Guide for some reason, everything you need to know about setting up PowerBlaster is contained in the included manual.

Product Description

PowerBlaster is the RF power base used with all MasterControl RF remotes. Picks up RF signals through walls, doors, floors - indoors and outdoors. Hide your components in the entertainment center or a cabinet. Use your remote outdoors on the patio, deck or porch. Up to 100'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with the RF10 remote, January 26, 2009

By	BaileysMom (CNY) - See all my reviews

My husband loves gadgets, I hate clutter. This was the perfect solution, however neither of us expected it to work. Well...we were wrong. All our components are hidden in a closet about 15 feet away from where we use the remote. We even went outside (about 30 feet away and through several walls) and it still worked great. We didn't need any of the probes, the powerblaster transmits the signal to all the components perfectly. I am so glad we tried these before buying the Logitech.

5.0 out of 5 stars RF MasterControl - Excellent, June 13, 2008

By	T. Mannino - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This unit was the easiest thing I had ever setup. I purchased it to use with my URC MasterControl RF30, as recommends on Amazon, and all I had to do is plug it in and stick the IR wires on each IR receiver for each component. The IR wires have a nice flat end with two-sized tape on them already. It is working great and was very easy to setup.
