external Audio/Video equipment (VCR, Set Top Box, DVD, etc.). Once this is setup, it allows your IR Mouse
connector to control your equipment using your HITACHI Plasma TV Remote Control. You can use your
HITACHI remote control to control the Audio/Video equipment command without the equipment's remote
control.
