and DVD-VCR player, follow this procedure:
1. Cable the MLC, input/output devices, and the PC as described in chapter 2,
“Installation.”
2. Create or open a Global Configurator (GC) project, and add an MLC to the
project, if that has not already been done. For instructions, refer to chapter 3
of the MLC 104 Plus Series Setup Guide or the GC help file.

control (RS-232 and IR) port. For instructions, refer to chapter 3 of the setup
guide. See the diagram below to wire the MLC’s Display port, and place the
emitter head near the DVD-VCR player’s IR receiver.
