Locating the IR Receiver on the VCR
The IR receiver area is not visible on some VCRs. To locate it:
Obtain a piece of opaque material, such as a 3- by 5-inch index card.
Use the card to block off areas of the VCR where the IR receiver might
be located. Try to turn the VCR on and off with the remote control
pointed directly at it, and stand close enough to reduce the possibility
that the receiver will see IR reflections.
Note the blocked area where the VCR is unresponsive to the remote
control. This region contains the sensor and can be marked by loosely
taping the index card to the area.
Because the IR Blaster radiates in an area approximately 40 degrees
wide, you do not need to be precisely on target with the receiver. You
may prefer to offset the location of the IR Blaster transmitter so that it is
less likely to interfere with operation of the VCR remote control.
