User Manual

Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Inteset Systems 4-in-1 IR learning remote
control for Xbox and Windows Media Center. This infrared (IR) remote lets you
conveniently control your Xbox, Windows Media Center PC, and up to 3 other A/V
devices.
If you did not purchase an IR receiver from Inteset Systems or an R6 protocol
receiver is already installed, skip the sections in this manual that describe
installing the receiver.

INSERT THE BATTERIES

The remote control uses two AAA batteries that have been provided. Whenever
replacing batteries always make sure both are new.
To insert the batteries

Remove the battery compartment cover by

pushing on its release and lifting up.

Insert the batteries, making sure to properly

orient the positive (+) and negative () ends
as specified by the battery compartment
labels.

Replace the battery compartment cover.

POSITION THE RECEIVER

For optimum performance, make sure that the distance between the remote control
and the receiver doesnt exceed 30 feet or about 60 degrees from the centerline of
the receiver. Keep a direct, unobstructed line
of sight between the receiver and the remote
control, and dont let any natural or artificial
light shine directly on the receivers IR
sensor. If you already have an IR receiver,
and did not purchase the receiver from Inteset,
see Using the Remote Control later in this
User Manual.

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 computers 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 1/8hole 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.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

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.
Your remote control has six types of buttons:

Navigation buttons, to move between items on the screen. (for example, up

arrow or enter)
Playback buttons, to control your media (for example, pause or stop).
Audio-visual (AV) and power buttons, to change channels and adjust
volume. (for example, channel up or mute)
Shortcut buttons, to provide a quick way for users to access key media
experiences in Windows Media Center.
Numeric keypad buttons, to enter alphanumeric characters or TV channels.
Xbox or Teletext buttons to access Xbox or Teletext functionality. For more
information, see Xbox or Teletext Buttons later in this user manual.

Xbox Buttons
When in Xbox mode (default), the 5 buttons on the bottom of the remote are
specific to Xbox control commands. Commands include those signified by the red
(B), green (A), yellow (Y), blue (X), and
(Xbox) buttons. What the 4 colored
buttons do while using the Xbox is indicated on the Xbox interface. The
button will always call up the Xbox Menu screen.
Teletext Buttons
Media Center supports Teletext when it is available. The colored Fastext buttons on
the remote work much like the Teletext buttons on a standard Teletex-enabled TV.
In addition, these buttons are used for Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting
(ISDB) data functions:

To display Page 100 (Teletext Home Page): Press the Teletext button. Page
100 will appear in a few seconds and completely replace the TV picture, but it
will not affect the TV sound.

To access Teletext pages: Type the three-digit number of the page you want to
display. For example, enter 300 to access the A-Z Teletext Index.

To navigate between Teletext pages: Press the Up and Down buttons to

navigate between Next and Previous pages.

To use Fastext buttons: The red, green, yellow and blue buttons on your
remote correspond to the same colored buttons on your TV. Press a colored
button on the remote and go to a preset page on your TV.
Toggle Between Xbox or Teletext Mode
The five buttons on the bottom of the remote can act as Xbox buttons or Teletext
buttons as described above. To toggle between modes, press the PC mode button,
then press the
button and the OK button simultaneously.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Follow these instructions exactly to program the remote.
Features

Except for the PC mode, which is already programmed, TV, AV and AUX
modes are able to learn commands from other remote controls.

The programming remains even if the batteries are removed.

The remote will stop learning by pressing the DVD Menu button or by
waiting for five seconds.
Tip: For some remotes, while programming, you will need to press the button you
want to program very quickly for the Inteset remote to accept it, otherwise it fails.
