another channel to see if a picture appears.

IR Port for IR Extender
1. Plug the connector into the IR port on the back of the DTA.
2. Peel the paper backing from the adhesive pad on the bottom of the receiver.
Then, mount the IR Extender receiver in an inconspicuous place, but make
certain that nothing blocks the sensor on the front of the receiver. You must
be able to point the remote control at this sensor.
To control the DTA, press the keys on the remote control while aiming the
remote control at the sensor on the receiver.
Note: If you encounter problems, make sure that all connections are secure and
that nothing blocks the path between the receiver and your remote control.
For further assistance, contact your service provider.

Important: Do not block
the sensor on the front
of the receiver, or you
cannot control the DTA
with your remote control.
Place the sensor away
from compact fl uorescent
light, plasma TV displays,
or LCD HDTVs. The
sensor signal may be
blocked when placed too
close to these types
of devices, and the
remote control will no
longer function properly.
