Setting up the HP TouchSmart PC with a set-top box

Select models only

If your TV signal requires a cable TV set-top box, a satellite set-top box, or another set-top box, you must connect the IR emitter cable to the computer and your set-top box to use the remote control properly. TV tuners and remote controls are included in select models only.

The IR emitter cable is a remote control sensing device that connects to the computer and covers the remote sensor on a set-top box. It enables the remote control that came with your HP TouchSmart PC to operate your set-top box when you use the Windows Media Center program to select TV channels.

To use a set-top box with Windows Media Center:

1Connect the IR emitter cable (A) to the IR Out connector (D) on the back of the computer.

2Remove the paper from the backing tape on the end of the cable (B), and then press the end of the cable over the remote IR sensor (receiver) window on the set-top box (C). To locate the remote infrared sensor window, shine a flashlight through the plastic on the front of the set-top box.

3When you use the remote control, point it at the front of the HP TouchSmart PC (E), not at the set-top box.
