Setting up the HP TouchSmart PC with a set-top box

Select models only
If your TV signal requires a cable TV set-top box, a satellite set-top box, or another set-top box, you must
connect the IR emitter cable to the computer and your set-top box to use the remote control properly. TV
tuners and remote controls are included in select models only.
The IR emitter cable is a remote control sensing device that connects to the computer and covers the remote
sensor on a set-top box. When you are selecting TV channels in Windows Media Center, it enables the
remote control to work with your set-top box.
To use a set-top box with Windows Media Center:
1 Connect the IR emitter cable (A) to the IR Out connector (D) on the back of the computer.
2 Remove the paper from the backing tape on the end of the cable (B), and then press the end of the
cable over the remote IR sensor (receiver) window on the set-top box (C). To locate the remote infrared
sensor window, shine a flashlight through the plastic on the front of the set-top box.
3 When you use the remote control, point it at the front of the HP TouchSmart PC (E), not at the
set-top box.
