Connecting
a
device
to
the
IR
OUT
infrared
terminal
using
the
IR
blaster
cable
for
IR
pass-through
device
control
You can use the
TV's
IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-
through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many infrared
remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba infrared remote-
controlled VCRs or DVD players) enclosed within an
entertainment center or similar cabinet. Without the IR OUT
connection, the device typically would need to be visible to
operate it remotely.
You will need:
• dual-wand IR blaster cable
(1J@f
page 12)
• other audio/video cables as required to connect the device(s)
to the
TV
(1J@f
pages 13-16)

example)
To connect the IR
blaster
cable:
1 Locate the infrared sensor on the front
of
your device.
This sensor is marked on some devices.*
2 Align one
of
the IR blaster cable's wands about 1 inch
away from the infrared sensor on the front
of
the device
and attach it using double-sided mounting tape.
If
you
have a second device, attach the second wand in a similar
manner. (See illustration.)
Note: Ifyou do nothave a second device, coil the second
wand with a rubber
band
and
leave it behind the
TV.
3 Plug the IR blaster cable's plug into the
TV's
IR OUT
terminal.
To control the device(s):
Point either the device's remote control or the TV remote
control (that you previously programmed to operate the
device; IJ@f Chapter
3)
toward the front
of
the TV and press the
button for the desired function. The signal passes from the
remote control through the TV to the device via the IR blaster
cable.

*If
you
cannot
locate the device's
infrared
sensor:
1 Turn OFF the device.
2 Starting at the lower left comer
of
the device, place the
end
of
the device's remote control (with the infrared
emitter) so it touches the front
of
the device and press
POWER.
(Do not use the
TV's
remote control for this
step.)
3
If
the device turns on, the point at which the remote
control touched the device
is
the location
of
the sensor.
4
If
the device does not tum on, move the remote control
slightly to the right and press POWER again.
5 Repeat step 4 until you locate the device's infrared
sensor.
Note:
•
If
you use the device's remote control to operate the device,
you also will need to use the
TV's
remote control
to
operate
the
TV.
•
The
IR
pass-through feature does not support all
IR-control/ed devices; satisfactory performance
may
not be
attainable with certain devices.
