Infrared Transmitter Installation

If you have a cable TV receiver, satellite receiver, or other set-top-box that controls your TV signal, connect the Infrared Transmitter Sensor:

1Route the IR transmitter cable from the back of the HP Digital Entertainment Center to the cable TV, digital cable, or satellite receiver set-top-box.

2Locate the IR remote receiver area on the front of the set-top-box. This is where you aim the set-top-box remote control to change channels, change the sound level, and so on.

■The IR remote receiver area may be behind an obvious window on the set-top-box.

■Use the set-top-box remote control to locate its IR remote receiver area: Hold the remote control very close (within 1-inch / 2.54-centimeters) and press a remote button to change the channel or power off the box. As you push a button, gradually move the remote control across the front of the box until the box responds.

■Hold a flashlight close to the front of the set-top- box and look for a transparent window with a small box inside. Test the area by holding the box remote close to the window and pushing a button until the box responds.

3Use a piece of tape to temporarily hold the IR transmitter cable tip over the set-top-box IR remote receiver area while you test the function.

4Plug the IR transmitter cable into the Infrared Transmitter connector on the back of the HP Digital Entertainment Center.

5Test the operation by pointing the HP Digital Entertainment Center remote control at the HP Digital Entertainment Center IR receiver and pressing a channel button. (Be sure you use the HP Digital Entertainment Center remote and point it at the

HP Digital Entertainment Center.)

6For permanent attachment, remove the paper from the IR transmitter cable tip and press the tip onto the IR remote receiver area on the set-top-box.

7Repeat these steps for the second set-top-box.
