Connecting the External Remote Sensor

The external IR remote sensor is a small device that
connects to the computer and allows the remote control to
work with the Media Center programs.

If you have a cable TV set-top box, satellite, or other
set-top box that controls your TV signal, connect the
remote sensor control cable to the remote sensor and
position the end of it over the remote receiver on your
cable box.
