The receiver relays input from your remote control to your
computer.
To connect the receiver
• With your computer turned on, plug the rectangular
universal serial bus (USB) connector into your computer's
USB port.
Connect the IR Emitter
4
If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box, you must connect an IR emitter
(also known as an IR control cable) to the receiver to use the remote control for Media
Center PC with your TV. The receiver includes two IR emitters. You only need to connect
one emitter per set-top box.
To connect an IR emitter
1 Insert the plug at the end of an IR emitter cable into
one of the ports on the back of the receiver.
2 Peel the protective paper from the emitter end and
affix the emitter to the front of the IR sensor lens on
the set-top box.
The IR sensor lens is typically visible on the front of
the set-top box. If you can't find the IR sensor lens,
see the documentation that came with your set-top box.

Using the Remote Control

You use the remote control to interact with most of the features in Media Center. No
software or setup procedure is required. Just point the remote control at the receiver,
and then enter your commands.
Your remote control has five types of buttons:
• Navigation buttons, to move between items on the screen.
• Playback buttons, to control your media (for example, pause or stop).
• Audio-visual (AV) and power buttons, to change channels and adjust volume.
• Numeric keypad buttons, to enter alphanumeric characters or TV channels.
• Teletext and Fastext buttons, to access teletext functionality (if available). For more
information, see "Teletext Buttons" later in this manual.
