Your stated cases does describe most of what we've empirically seen, but it doesn't then address WTH the point of the IR output port is. One would logically think it's meant to 'relay' the signals received by the Outlaw's IR sensor on the front panel.

As we stated, it clearly doesn't do it on it's own, straight to an emitter.

It's said to do it 'passively' by Outlaw support; but what does that really mean?

I feel like calling Xantech and seeing what they have to say, but I know they'll just say, 'refer to the manufacturer of the device'. At which point, we're back at square one.

I'm beginning to wonder how and why a company that designed this unit from the ground up doesn't really KNOW how the port is supposed to be used. :p Doesn't that strike anyone else as odd? LOL.

Oh well. I'll keep digging and see what I can find...
