Sensor Bar
When positioning the Sensor Bar, you may need to adjust two key settings. Select
Sensor Bar Position or Sensitivity, then proceed with the following instructions.
Sensor Bar Position
You’ll want to adjust this setting to match where you’ve placed your Wii’s Sensor Bar:
above or below your TV screen. Confirm your selection once it’s complete.
Sensitivity
Use this feature to adjust the sensitivity of the Pointer function of the Wii Remote
Plus. If you find that you’re not getting an optimal pointing experience with the Wii
Remote Plus, you may want to adjust this setting.
After you select Sensitivity from the Sensor Bar settings screen, you’ll see an
explanation screen that further details the Sensitivity setting. Select OK to begin the
adjustment test.
In the test, you’ll use the Wii Remote Plus
Pointer to move a cursor into view within
the test field. If you see two blinking
dots, your current Sensitivity setting is
working fine. If you don’t see two blink-
ing dots, adjust the Sensitivity with the +
and - Buttons until you do, then press the
A Button to confirm your new setting.
• If you see three or more dots, the Wii Remote Plus may be sensing an extra light
source. See Wii Remote Plus troubleshooting, page 34, in the Wii Operations
Manual - System Setup.
NOTE: The initial recommended distance for using the Wii Remote Plus Pointer is 3
to 10 feet from the Sensor Bar. By increasing the Sensitivity setting, you’ll increase
the distance at which you can use the Pointer. Also note that the influence of direct
sunlight and various light sources can make the Pointer operation less optimal.
Internet
You’ll want to set up your Wii’s Internet settings to work well with your home’s
Internet connection, whether you have a wireless broadband network or want to
connect directly to your wired LAN network.
NOTE: When you connect the Wii to the Internet, the console’s internal files will
sometimes be automatically updated.
When you select Internet from the Wii Settings screen, you’ll go straight to the
Internet Setup screen. Before you proceed with setup selections, consult the
following flowchart to determine what settings and equipment would work well
with your home Internet environment.
