† Only the buttons listed here are operational on the VB-PC Remote control.

Remember that your computer has the primary volume controls. You can use the Vol+ or Vol- buttons on the remote control but you can't go any higher than the computer setting. For best results, set the volume to an intermediate level using the mouse, then you can use your VB-PC Remote to fine-tune the volume as desired. Use the Full Screen button to go full screen at any time and hide all Portal Server functionality. Press Esc on the keyboard (or Full Screen on the Remote) to exit full screen.

Using the Amino STB Remote

The Amino STB Remote is a handheld infrared device you can use to control live and stored MPEG-2 streams running on an Amino set top box. The Amino is fully integrated with the Portal Server, and with certain exceptions (e.g. you cannot Add Video), provides access to most Portal Server functionality. You use the Amino remote control (or the wireless keyboard) to navigate through the application and select streams. The buttons and functionality on the hand-held remote are explained in Table 8 starting at the top. See the AmiNet110 User Guide that was shipped with the device for more information. Note that the Amino set top box does not enforce copyright restrictions.

Note The Amino does not recognize "control devices" defined in the Portal Server. Any devices configured as Control Devices in the Portal Server will not display a "virtual" remote control panel on the Amino set top box. See the Portal Server Admin Guide.
