Configuring the Remote Control for a TV
The Amino handheld IR remote control is designed to work with the Amino set top box.
During normal operation, the
STB/TV
button (see the Portal Server User Guide ) should be set
for
STB
. It can, however, be configured to work with a standard TV. In order for the remote
to transmit the correct signals to control the TV, it must be programmed with a 3-digit code
that matches the TV. See the Amino Remote Controls User Guide for more information.

widescreen (16:9) TV. Use one of the following methods depending on whether you are using
the handheld remote control or the wireless keyboard.
When done, repeat these steps if necessary
for each Amino set top box.
