RyanE Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 On most Mitsubishi TV's (rear-projection), there are port-holes on the sides of the TV. They come off with a screw or two. They're round. You open up the port hole, place the IR bug on the IR receiver, and close the port hole. If you do this, be careful not to touch the mirror or lenses in *any way*, or you'll get a smudge. I've done this on a friend's 80" Mitsu rear-projection, it's hard to do on a TV that big, because the IR receiver is far from the port hole.

PaDadof2 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 RyanE, thanks for the advice. I was able to open the round port hole and see the IR receiver, however getting my arms far enough inside was NO fun at all. I was able to get it to work after a bit of work tho. Thanks again.

RyanE Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Glad it worked for you. I also did not enjoy it, and wouldn't volunteer to do it again. RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
