CONNECTIONS (CONT’D)

INFRARED (IR) TECHNOLOGY

Infrared (IR) technology allows you to give instructions (like changing channels) to a piece of equipment—and it’s wireless.

The remote control and wireless keyboard use IR beams to send your instructions to the Set Top Box. Then, the Set Top Box uses IR Blasters to send those instructions to your other equipment. Instead of having to juggle remote controls or switch from one device to another, the Set Top Box simplifies your TV tasks by taking care of everything. The IR blasters allow your Set Top Box to communicate with several devices at one time, depending on where they are located.

STEP FOUR: CONNECTING AND POSITIONING THE IR BLASTERS

The IR Blasters are designed to tuck under most equipment, directly in front of each device’s IR sensor. Usually, the sensor looks like a small, dark window in the front panel. The user manual for each device you own should identify the IR sensor.

If your equipment is arranged so that several devices stack one above the other, one IR blaster can signal all of them. The other blaster is not used, so place it out of sight behind your equipment. You can choose to use both blasters if your equipment is stacked.

Or, if your Cable Box is in a different location from your VCR, you might need to put an IR Blaster under each of them. Blasters can send signals to a range of 40 inches, as long as the eye of the blaster is in a direct, uninterrupted line of sight to the IR sensor of your equipment.

Plug the IR blaster into the IR BLASTER jack on the back of the Set Top Box.

Place each IR Blaster so its eye can see the sensor(s) on your equipment.
