IR-receiver for a projector If you have both a television screen and a projector, and the projector screen covers the IR- receiver when in use, you must mount a second IR-receiver. The IR-receiver receives signals from your remote control and sends them to the system, which then sends control signals to the connected equipment. Make sure the IR-receiver is placed in such a way that it can receive remote control signals. If the IR- receiver is placed incorrectly, the light emitted by the connected equipment can impede remote control operation of your television.
