Connecting the External IR Transceiver
The external IR transceiver 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 IR transceiver
cable to the IR transceiver and position the other end of the
IR transceiver cable over the remote receiver on your cable
box.
