Troubleshooting

Set Top Box control problems

If you have any problem controlling your Set Top Box, use the included IR Blaster cable.
Insert the plug into the “IR Blaster” jack in the back of Vulkano and place the IR ‘paddles’ in
front of the remote window on your STB. These paddles have an adhesive strip to help hold
them in place once you determine the correct position.
