Installing the Optional IR Blaster

The optional IR Blaster provides control of the subscriber VCR from the
cable terminal. It consists of a low-power infrared transmitter attached to
a six-foot cord and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a clear
plastic holder that has a pad of adhesive tape that enables you to install
the IR Blaster near the VCR-IR receiver. A mini-pin connector at the end
of the cord connects the IR Blaster to the terminal. The IR Blaster is sold
separately as an accessory item.
The availability and functionality of the IR Blaster depends on the
installed application software. Some IPGs may not support the IR
Blaster.

Once installed, the IR Blaster is activated automatically through the
electronic program guide. Individual VCR codes are broadcast through
the out-of-band data channel and are updated periodically as new codes
are added.
The procedure for installing the IR Blaster is described in the following
paragraphs.
