- Connect IR emitters to control devices (if used)

- Can IR emitter cables reach from CommandIR to every A/V device I want to control?
- Can I see the lights from where I want to see them?
CommandIR Internal: Install- Turn your computer off and unplug it
- Open your PC and locate a spare PCI slot and your USB "header" pins on your motherboard (consult documentation, or look for cables labeled 'USB' which are usually grouped together).

- Connect the internal USB cable from CommandIR to the motherboard.
- Plug your computer back in and power up
