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: 1 Route 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. 2 Locate 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-topbox 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. 3 Use 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. 4 Plug the IR transmitter cable into the Infrared Transmitter connector on the back of the HP Digital Entertainment Center. 5 Test 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.) 6 For 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. 7 Repeat these steps for the second set-top-box. 90 HP Digital Entertainment Center
