3 Remove the adhesive tape cover from the mounting bracket.
4 Position and press firmly to attach the mounting bracket to the IR receiver on the VCR. Be
careful to route the wire so that it does not prevent loading tapes.
Checking the IR Blaster
The IR Blaster is now located near the receiver and the VCR can be controlled through the
DCT5100. 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.
