Set Up IR Emitters
Your system may contain third-party products that are
controlled with IR commands (usually through remote
controls). To provide a way for the Home Theater
Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR
commands, complete the following setup.
1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 6 IR
stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out port on the
Home Theater Controller.
2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on
the media player, TV, or other target device to
transmit IR signals from the Home Theater Controller
to the target.
Use Video Sense Loops
Video sensing can enhance the ability to sense the power
state of a device, such as whether the device is “on” or
“off.” If you need to add video signal sensing capabilities
for a video device (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, etc.),
connect one of the device’s composite Video Out ports to
a Home Theater Controller Video Sense In port. Then,
use the companion Video Sense Out port (where
available) for the device’s video out as needed.
For Video Sense only (no loop-through), connect a
device’s Composite Video Out port to one of the two Video
Sense In ports.
