Home Entertainment Tools

Getting Started with HE Remote for the PC to IR Linc

  • Right click the top left button on HE Remote.
      By default is says 'Cable'. If you want it to represent a different home entertainment device, like a Satellite receiver the click the "Change the 'Cable' buttons" text menu and enter the text you want in the input box.

  • Right click the 'Cable' Button and highlight the 'Select IR Transmitter' and click 'PC to IR Linc'.
  • Right click the 'Cable' Button and highlight the 'Select Com Port' and click the com port for your IR Linc.

At this point lets see if it works.

  • Right click the '1' button and then click the 'Learn the '1' button menu item. You should see an led flashing on your IR Linc.
    • If you don't see anything then you have the wrong serial port or a device, probably your modem, conflicting with your serial port. If you are sure you have the right com port go to your device manager and disable your modem and click the 'one' button again. If it works try enabling your modem while HE Remote is running and see if XP will move your modem to a new port. My modem moved to from com 3 to com 4.

  • Right click the 'Cable' Button and click the 'Learn All the Buttons for 'Cable'
  • Now point your IR Linc at your Cable box and start pressing buttons and see if they all work.

    • If some work and others don't work, right click on a button that didn't work and click the 'Learn the '?' button menu item and relearn the button.
