CHAPTER 5: Using the Universal Remote Control

To test your remote control’s batteries:

• Press and release any button on the remote control. If

the batteries need to be replaced, the LED flashes five

times.

Using the IR Blaster

You can use the provided IR Blaster cable to control a device

such as a DVD player, cable or satellite box, or computer with

a Windows Media Center IR receiver. By using the IR Blaster, you

can place the device in an out of the way location where you

do not normally have line-of-sight with the remote control.

To connect the IR Blaster:

1 Plug the IR Blaster into the IR Blaster connector located

on the back of the monitor. For the location of the IR

Blaster connector, see “Monitor connections” on page 5.

2 Peel the backing off of the double-sided tape that is

attached to the IR Blaster emitter.

3 Stick the emitter over the IR receiver on the device you

want to control.

To use the IR Blaster:

1 Point the remote control at the monitor, then press the

mode button for the device you want to control. (For

example, if you want to pause the DVD player, press

DVD.)

2 Press the control button for the device. (For example,

press the pause button.) The monitor rebroadcasts the

command from the remote control to the device.

Important

While the batteries are low, the remote control cannot enter

programming mode.

Important

Do not connect the IR Blaster until after you have programmed the remote

control for the device you want to control. For more information, see

“Programming the universal remote control” on page54.
