Step 3: Connecting the IR
Controller
The IR (Infrared) Controller enables GUIDE Plus+ Gold
VCR and cable box (if necessary) so that you can tune to television
channels and even start recording a program from the program guide.
After you have affixed the ends of the controller to the necessary devices
(VCR, or Cable box), you will use the on-screen interactive setup routine
for GUIDE Plus+ to test the connected devices.

Attaching the IR Controllers

Some components label the infrared remote sensor, and others do not. If
your component is labeled, affix the IR controller directly over the sensor.
For components that do not label the remote sensor, you need to use the
component's remote control to locate the sensor.
1. Hold the component's remote control (not the remote that came
with your TV) so that it is touching the front of the component.
2. Slowly move the remote over the front of the component while
pressing the remote power button on and off. (Be sure to press and
release the power button each time you move the remote. Holding
the button may not work.)
