If you cannot locate the device’s infrared sensor:

device’s remote control (with the infrared emitter) so it touches the
front of the device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s remote
control for this step.)
3. If the device turns on, the point at which the remote control touched
the device is the location of the sensor.
4. If the device does not turn on, move the remote control slightly to the
right and press POWER again.
5. Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared sensor.

1 inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of the
VCR and attach it using double-sided mounting tape.
If you have a Cable box, attach the other wand in a similar
manner. (See illustration at right.)

with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.
