Without the IR OUT connection, the device typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely. You will need: • dual-wand IR blaster cable • other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s) to the TV (- pages 9-13) Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example) Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV. 3 Plug the IR blaster cable's plug into the TV's IR OUT terminals. To control the device(s): Point either the device's remote control or the TV remote control (that you previously programmed to operate the device; - Operating Guide, Chapter 2) toward the front of the TV and press the button for the desired function. The signal passes from the remote control through the TV to the device via the IR blaster cable. Front of IR-controlled audio device (for example) Infrared sensor IR blaster cable wand (approx.1 inch from device) TV Notes: • If you use the device's remote control to operate the device, you also will need to use the TV's remote control to operate the TV. • The IR pass-through feature does not support all IRcontrolled devices; satisfactory performance may not be attainable with certain devices. *If you cannot locate the device's infrared sensor: 1 Turn OFF the device. 2 Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place the end of the device's remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV's remote control for this step.) 3 If the device turns on, the point at which the remote control touched the device is the location of the sensor. 4 If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the right and press POWER again. 5 Repeat step 4 until you locate the device's infrared sensor. To connect the IR blaster cable: 1 Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your device. This sensor is marked on some devices.* 2 Align one of the IR blaster cable's wands about 1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the device and attach it using double-sided mounting tape. If you have a second device, attach the second wand in a similar manner. (See illustration.) 14 DLP Inst (E/F) Web 213:276
