Mounting the IR Emitter:

Once the 3.5mm end of the IR emitter cable, has been connected to the RJ45-to-3.5mm adapter,

the IR diode end of the IR emitter cable will need to be attached to the front of the set top box

(STB) where the IR receiver is located. If you cannot locate the IR receiver on the STB, shining a

ashlight at the front of the STB can help in locating it.

In the examples above, you can see the IR emitter mounted to the STB over the STB’s IR receiver.

The two examples on the left show common locations of the IR receiver on two STBs.

Once the IR diode is in place, install the IR shield onto the front of the IR diode. This will ensure

that the signal sent to the STB will only change the settings on the STB that the IR diode has been

applied to.
