Setting up the HP TouchSmart PC with a Set-top Box If your TV signal for Windows Media Center requires a cable TV set-top box, a satellite settop box, or another set-top box, you must connect the infrared (IR) emitter cable to the computer and your set-top box in order to use the remote control properly. 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: 1 Connect the IR emitter cable (A) to the IR Out connector (D) on the back of the PC. 2 Remove the paper from the backing tape on the end of the cable (B), and then press the end of the cable over the remote infrared (IR) sensor (receiver) window on the settop box (C). To locate the remote infrared sensor window, shine a flashlight through the plastic on the front of the set-top box. 3 When you use the remote control, point it at the front of the HP TouchSmart PC (E), not at the set-top box.
