Step 3 Connecting the IR Blaster
21
Connections
For the Internet Terminal to communicate with your VCR, Cable Box, or
Satellite Box, you must position the IR Blaster correctly. Position the light on
the IR Blaster so that it faces the sensor on your VCR, Cable Box or Satellite
Box.
If you only use one IR Blaster, (for example, if you only have a VCR connect-
ed to the Internet Terminal), place the unused IR Blaster behind the equip-
ment.
NOTE: If you use the IR Blaster in an enclosed setting, such as an entertain-
ment center with glass doors, keep the doors open. This will reduce interfer-
ence and allow the infrared signals to travel freely.
Go to step 4 - Connecting the Telephone Cord.
You will complete the second half of step 3 (setting up
the IR Blaster) after you sign up with the WebTV
Network.
The IR Blaster enables your Internet Terminal to program your VCR and to
select channels on your Cable Box or Satellite Box.
Connect the IR Blaster cable to the IR Blaster jack on the back of the Internet
Terminal.
Find the infrared sensor on your VCR, Cable Box, or Satellite Box. (The sen-
sor usually is located behind the display panel on the front of the VCR, Cable
Box, or Satellite Box. If the sensor is not labelled on your equipment, refer to
the equipment’s manual for details.)
