Troubleshooting; Regulatory/Safety Information - Control 4 HC-250 Installation Manual

• IR Emitters
• IR Blaster
IR Emitters
1
Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the four
(4) IR stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out
port on the HC-250.
2 Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR
receiver on the Media Player, TV, or other target
device to drive IR signals from the HC-250 to the
target.
IR Blaster
The HC-250 is also equipped with an IR blaster
which is located just left of the front LEDs. To use the
blaster rather than an IR emitter:
1 In Composer, connect the IR Blaster of the
Controller to the IR In for the device you want to
control.
2
Test and verify that the HC-250 is positioned in
such a way that the blaster can reach the device
you want to control.
Setting Up External Storage Devices
You can store and access media from an external
storage device, for example, a network hard drive
or USB memory device, by plugging the USB drive
into the USB port and configure or scan the media in
Composer Pro.
NOTES: (1) We support only USB drives
that are externally powered or USB sticks
(solid state). Self-powered USB drives are
not supported. (2) When using USB storage
devices on an HC-250, you can only use one
(1) partition with a 2TB maximum size. This
limitation applies to the USB storage on all
other Controllers also.
Composer Pro Driver Information
Select the Home Controller HC-250 driver in
Composer Pro and add it to your Composer project.
See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.
