HP Mobile Remote Control (ExpressCard version) component functions

The infrared lens on the remote control links the remote control to the computer. The link requires a line-of-sight path between the infrared lens on the remote control and the infrared lens on the computer.

Things to remember:

●The HP Mobile Remote Control operates within Microsoft® Windows®, QuickPlay (select computer models only), and InterVideo Home Theater software (select computer models only). Each button responds according to which application is active.

NOTE Refer to the InterVideo Home Theater on-screen help for remote control information.

NOTE For information on using QuickPlay, refer to the QuickPlay User Guide. Depending on your computer model, the QuickPlay User Guide is available either on CD or through the Help and Support Center.

●Some remote control buttons perform the same functions as computer buttons. For example, the DVD button on the remote control and the DVD button on the computer have the same functions and can be used interchangeably.

●Some remote control buttons perform the same functions as computer hotkeys. Refer to the computer user guide for information on supported hotkeys.

●Other remote control buttons provide functions that are not duplicated by computer buttons or preset key combinations.
