Re: XBox remote control

["Quinten Uijldert" <yahoogroups2@xxxxxxxxx>]

It uses the existing buttons on the XBox DVD remote control: DISPLAY
to
switch it on, and 0 (zero) to switch it off.  You can use the DISPLAY
button
as normal once switched on, but the 0 button will always switch it off.
I've not found this a problem, but it may be for some.  Apparently the V2
of
the XIR Kit can be reprogrammed with a different IR set.

Q.
