VIDEO – Setting the Infrared Emitter Code
VIDEO – Setting the Infrared Emitter Code
This is a one time step to set your AV 700 to send the correct infrared codes to control your video
cassette recorder, cable box, or satellite receiver. This is done so that the AV 700, via the TV docking
pod, can turn on and off your video device and also change its channels. If you do not plan on making
scheduled recordings, then you do not need to install the IR emitter or set the infrared emitter code.
Before beginning this procedure of setting the emitter code, your AV 700 must be connected to the TV
docking pod, the pod powered with the charger/adapter, and the IR emitter connected to the pod. Hold the
IR Emitter in front of the IR receptor (remote control reception panel on your tuner) so that the IR Emitter can
control your device. See the chapter Connecting the TV Docking Pod to your Television System section
Connection 5 : the Infrared Emitter of this manual if you do not know where the IR receptor on your VCR,
cable box, or satellite receiver is located. Once you have verifi ed that the AV 700 is controlling your VCR, cable
box, or satellite receiver, (explained below) you can peal off the white ring protecting the adhesive, and stick the
IR emitter to your device.
Your tuner may be your VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver.

This screen allows you to correctly set the codes and parameters to allow the Infrared emitter to correctly control
your tuner (VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver).
