Position the IR receiver off center of the VCR receiver and then press firmly attaching the
mounting bracket on the VCR. Be careful to route the wire so that it does not prevent
loading videotapes.
Checking the Installation
The IR Blaster is now located near the receiver and the VCR can be controlled through the
DCT2500. As a final check, operate the VCR using the remote control from various positions in
the room. If the IR Blaster is obstructing the IR receiver on the VCR, move it slightly.
