Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Controlling infrared remote-controlled devices through the TV (IR pass-through)

You can use the TV’s IR OUT jack (infrared pass-through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared remote-controlled devices (such as a Toshiba infrared remote-controlled VCR or DVD player) enclosed within an entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

You will need:

￿one dual-wand IR blaster cable (included with your TV)

￿other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s) to the TV (see pages 13–20)

To connect the IR blaster cable:

1.Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This sensor is marked on some devices.*

2.Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a second device, attach the second wand in a similar manner. (See illustration at right.)

Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.

3.Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into one of the TV’s TheaterNet OUT jacks.

To control the device(s):
Point the TV remote control
(programmed to operate the
device; see Chapter 3) or the
device’s remote control at the front
of the TV and press the button for
the desired function. The signal
passes from the remote control
through the TV to the device via
the IR blaster cable.	1	0	9
