Hi Ken
            I
believe you have to use a different plc interface to use with
A10 does Hv have to have different software to work with A10?
    Also with ir recievers  while dabbling i noticed i
was getting some
spikes while bench testing. Somewhere i came across a circuit which
suggested putting a 10mF electro across the the signal out and ground of
the
ir rx as close as possible to the sensor ,so ive done that with mine so
far
so good.Mine you my little shack is quite small all i need is 2 speakers
for
surround sound......
