CONNECTING THE IR
EMITTER
Your Home Network also allows you
to control the A/V source using an ex-
isting remote control. The Home Net-
work receiver sends your remote
control's IR signal through the phone
line to the Home Network transmitter,
which converts the signal back to the
original IR signal and beams it to the
audio/video source.
If you want to use an A/V source's re-
mote control to control a source
which is not within "line-of-sight" of
the Home Network transmitter, follow
these steps to connect the Home Net-
work IR emitter.
1. Plug the IR emitter into the
on the back of the transmitter (to
the left of the yellow video jack).
2. Locate the IR sensor on the
source you want to control.
If the sensor is not clearly
labeled, consult the owner's man-
ual for that component, try point-
ing the remote control at different
areas on the front of the compo-
nent from less than 1 inch away
and pressing ON or OFF. When
the component turns on or off,
you have found the approximate
location of the IR sensor.
3. Position the IR emitter so that it is
within "line-of-sight" of the IR sen-
sors on the A/V sources you want
to control. Cut a piece of the sup-
plied
hook-and-loop
secure the emitter In this position.

4. At the remote location, position
the receiver so the remote control
signal can strike the IR window
on the bottom front of the
receiver.
To use the remote control, point it
at the front of the receiver and
press the desired buttons.
