When the TV Remote Control does not Work
When the main unit obstructs the remote control sensor of the TV, the TV remote control may not work. In that case, enable the IR repeater function of the system. You can control the TV with the TV remote control by sending the remote signal from the rear of the main unit.
1 Press HOME.
The home menu appears on the TV screen.
2 Select [Setup] - [Advanced
Settings] on the home menu.
3 Select [System Settings] - [IR-
Repeater].
The [IR-Repeater] screen appears on the TV screen.
4 Select [On].
Notes
• Be sure to check that the TV remote control cannot control the TV, and then set [IR-Repeater] to [On]. If it is set to [On] when the remote control can control the TV, appropriate operation may not be obtained because of the interference between the direct command from the remote control and command via the main unit.
• If [IR-Repeater] is set to [On], this function may not work depending on your TV. Also, the r emote controls of other devices such as an air conditioner may not work correctly. In this case, change the installation position of the system or TV.
