Installing the IR receiver

1 Place the USB IR receiver in a convenient location. Consider

the following:

❖ The remote works within a distance of approximately 23

feet (7 meters). There should be an unobstructed

line-of-sight from the remote control to the receiver.

❖ Avoid placing the receiver where it will be subject to

intense heat or intense light.

❖ The USB cable is approximately 10 feet (3 meters) long.

Be sure the receiver is within this distance from your

MCE notebook computer.

❖ The IR transceiver cable is approximately 16 feet (5

meters) long. Be sure your set-top box (if used as the input

to your MCE notebook computer) is within that distance

from the IR receiver unit (which controls the set-top box

via the IR transceiver).

Skip step 2 if you are not using a set-top box (that is IR-controlled) as the

signal source to your MCE notebook computer.

2 If you are connecting a set-top box, follow these directions to

set up the IR transceiver (emitter) cable:

❖ Connect the IR transceiver cable to the back of the IR

receiver unit. Use the connector port marked "1" if you

have only one set-top box.

❖ Locate the remote control (IR) sensor window on your

set-top box. This window is usually located at the front of

the equipment. Refer to the manual that comes with your

set-top box if needed.

❖ Remove the paper sticker from the red plastic emitter

LED of the IR transceiver. Place the sticky side of the

emitter LED directly on the set-top box IR sensor window.

Do not totally block the window, since that may prevent

you from using the IR remote that comes with the set-top

box.

3 Connect the IR receiver unit's USB cable to your MCE

notebook computer.

❖ Make sure the USB cable is plugged into the back of the

IR receiver unit (USB cable connector for IR receiver

unit side to the USB socket on the IR receiver unit).

❖ Turn on your MCE notebook computer.

❖ Insert the plug of the USB cable into an available USB

port on your notebook computer.

❖ Windows

will recognize and configure the device

automatically.

Configuring the MCE remote and receiver with a set-top box

This step is not required if you are not using a set-top box with your MCE

notebook computer.

If you are using your remote control with a set-top box, you need

to run the TV Setup Wizard in Windows

XP Media Center 2005.

To run the Wizard:

1 Select the Windows Start menu and launch the MCE

application.

2 If you do not go directly into the TV Setup Wizard, select

Settings from the MCE main menu.

3 Select TV, and then select Setup TV Signal.

Follow the directions on the Wizard screens. The Wizard will

guide you in configuring the MCE remote receiver and IR

transceiver for your set-top box.

Operating the MCE remote control

Make sure you are standing or sitting within 23 feet of the MCE

IR receiver unit and that an unobstructed line-of-sight with the

MCE IR receiver unit is maintained.

Point the remote unit at the IR receiver unit while pressing the

remote buttons.
