Introduction
This chapter covers the connection of infrared (IR) receivers and transmitters to
the Smart Media Console (SMC)� The connections must be made before turning
the SMC unit on so that the devices can be detected properly upon startup�
IR Transmitters
Your SMC includes two IR transmitter outputs for controlling up to two set-top
boxes� If you connect a digital cable or satellite set-top box to the SMC, you
must also use the IR transmitter control cable to relay remote control commands
through the SMC to the cable or satellite set-top box's IR receiver�
