My remote control
doesn’t work.
■ Check that the remote control indicator light on the remote lights up when you
press a button. If it does not, replace the batteries.
■ Make sure that the batteries for the remote control are charged and installed
correctly.
■ Make sure the front of the remote sensor on the HP Digital Entertainment Center is
not blocked (behind display window).
■ Point the remote control at the HP Digital Entertainment Center (not at the TV)
within a 45-degree angle range, and less than 26 feet (8 meters) away.
■ If a pressed key repeats itself (or sticks), try altering the lighting conditions in the
room or moving the location of the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
■ Press the Enter button on the remote control after changing a channel.
■ Point the remote control toward the remote sensor, and press a button. A faint red
light should appear on the remote sensor. If the light appears, then the problem
is probably in the Media Center software. Close Media Center, restart the
HP Digital Entertainment Center, and then open Media Center again.
■ If the remote control works in Media Center but not when changing channels, you
need to reconfigure the Media Center software settings for the cable set-top box
or satellite receiver. Refer to the Media Center Edition 2005 Software Guide.
