Infrared Transmitter Connection

Infrared Transmitter Overview

The HP Digital Entertainment Center includes infrared transmitters that make it easy to control one or two set-top- boxes. If you connect a set-top-box such as a digital cable box or a satellite receiver to the HP Digital Entertainment Center, then you must also use the Infrared (IR) Transmitter control cable.

The remote control sends commands to the HP Digital Entertainment Center which relays these commands via the IR transmitter control cables to the cable box or satellite receiver.

The Infrared Transmitter control cable has a sender tip (IR Blaster) that attaches to the front of the cable box (or other set-top-box) and plugs into the back of the HP Digital Entertainment Center.

You must carefully position the Infrared Transmitter control cable sender tip on to the set-top-box front panel to ensure the set-top-box receives the signal.

The remote receiver is on the front of the cable box, digital cable box, or satellite receiver. It receives Infrared commands from your cable box remote control or from the IR transmitter cable. The remote receiver is sometimes hidden behind a panel of dark, transparent plastic. You can use a flashlight to locate it. For more information about the remote receiver, refer to the documentation for your cable box, digital cable box, or satellite receiver.
