HP Mobile Remote Control Component Functions

The infrared lens on the remote control links the remote control to the notebook. The link requires a line-of-sight path between the infrared lens on the remote control and the infrared lens on the notebook.

Things to remember:

■ The HP Mobile Remote Control operates within Microsoft® Windows®, QuickPlay (select models only), and InterVideo Home Theater software (select models only). Each button responds according to which application is active.

Refer to the InterVideo Home Theater on-screen help for remote control information.

■ Some remote control buttons perform the same functions as notebook buttons. For example, the DVD button on the remote control and the DVD button on the notebook have the same functions and can be used interchangeably.

■ Some remote control buttons perform the same functions as notebook key combinations. For example, the Information button on the remote control and the fn+end key combination on the notebook have the same function and can be used interchangeably.

■ Other remote control buttons, such as the Photo button, provide functions which are not duplicated by notebook buttons or preset key combinations.
