Connecting A Device To The Ir Out Infrared Terminal Using The Ir Blaster Cable For Ir Pass-Through Device Control - Toshiba 40SL500U Owner's Manual

Connecting a device to the IR OUT
infrared terminal using the IR
blaster cable for IR pass-through
device control
You can use the TV's IR OUT terminal to remotely
operate many infrared remote-controlled devices
enclosed within an entertainment center or similar
cabinet.
You will need:
•Dual-wand IR blaster cable (- page 13)
•Other cables as required to connect the device(s) to the
TV (- pages 14, 15 and 17)
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.
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
terminal.

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; - Chapter 3) 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.
Note:
• To program the remote control to operate the device(s),
see "Programming the remote control to operate your
other devices" (- page 28).
• The IR pass-through feature does not support all IR-
controlled devices; satisfactory performance may not be
attainable with certain devices.
*If you cannot locate the device's infrared sensor:
Turn OFF the device.
1
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.)
If the device turns on, the point at which the
3
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.
