Installing an MCE Remote Control and
Receiver
MCE requires an MCE-compatible remote control/receiver with IR blaster(s) to
control set-top boxes (up to two). An MCE remote control and receiver kit is
included in the package if you have received an NVIDIA DualTV MCE with
Remote Control bundle. Otherwise, you may purchase an MCE remote control and
receiver kit from one of many online PC retailers.
If you do not intend to use a set-top box as a TV signal source for your NVIDIA
DualTV, or you do not have an MCE remote control and receiver kit, please skip to
the next chapter.
This section provides generic instructions only. Refer to the documentation that
comes with your MCE remote control and receiver kit for details. If you received an
NVIDIA DualTV MCE with Remote Control bundle, please also consult the
NVIDIA MCE Remote Control Quick Start Guide (hard copy) and the NVIDIA
MCE Remote Control User’s Guide (available on the NVIDIA DualTV Installation
CD, and copied onto your PC if you selected the respective option during NVIDIA
DualTV software installation).
Note:
If your remote receiver is not already connected to the MCE PC, please plug that
in only after the NVIDIA DualTV software installation (last chapter) but before
setting up the TV signal in MCE (next chapter).
Setting Up the MCE Remote
Control and Receiver
1.
Install batteries into the remote control unit. Make sure the battery terminals are
oriented properly (often the “+” and “-” markings are available in the
compartment). Close the compartment cover.
2.
Place the USB IR receiver unit at a convenient location with a line-of-sight to
(without obstruction), and within an effective range of where you will be using
the remote control.
3.
Set up the IR blaster (emitter).
a.
Connect the IR blaster cable to a port on the back of the IR receiver
unit.
b.
Locate the remote control (IR) sensor window on your set-top box.
This window is usually located at the front of the equipment. Refer to
the set-top box manual if needed.
