CONNECT THE RECEIVER (PC Only)
The Xbox has a built-in IR receiver skip this section for Xbox setups. This section
applies to PC setups only. The receiver relays input from your remote control to
your computer via the receiver purchased with the remote. The receiver can be
either internal or external to the computer case.
To connect an External IR receiver
With your computer turned on, plug the
rectangular universal serial bus (USB) connector
into your computer’s USB port.
To connect an Internal IR Receiver
With your computer off and unplugged, plug your
internal receiver cable onto a USB header on your
motherboard. The ground wire must face the end
of the header with one pin missing. Install the black receiver component on the IR
board (the Eye) in a 1/8”hole in the front of your case using the bracket provided.
To connect a CIR receiver on your motherboard with a CIR header
Follow the instructions that come with the CIR for your motherboard
Install the CIR on the bracket as above.

You use the remote control to interact with most of the features in Media Center. No
software or setup procedure is required unless you are using an Inteset CIR receiver.
Just point the remote control at the receiver, and then enter your commands.

Audio-visual (AV) and power buttons, to change channels and adjust

experiences in Windows Media Center.
Numeric keypad buttons, to enter alphanumeric characters or TV channels.
