Note: Plasma TVs, LCD TVs, Sun Light, compact Fluorescent Lights all cause IR interference. LCD TVs and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Bulbs) are know to provide the strongest interference. IR interference will cause the Talk-Back, Feedback, or status LED to stay light or flicker on components that have this feature. The presence of IR interference reduces the acceptable range of an IR network and we suggest testing your mounting positions before permanently installing the components.
