1.5.3 Front IR Port and Power Light
The front IR port and Blue Power Light on the VideoReQuest unit can each be enabled by
flipping both dip switches up. Similarly, they can be disabled by moving the DIP switches
down.
1.5.4 Keyboard
All of the functions of the remote control can be performed on a USB or PS2 keyboard. There
is a USB port for keyboards in the front of the unit behind the front plate and a USB and PS2
port in the rear of the unit. We advise you to turn off the VideoReQuest before connecting any
keyboard. A keyboard overlay is available for download from our website at www.request.com
in the Support Section.
1.5.5 Powering Up VideoReQuest
Your VideoReQuest has two power buttons, one on the front of the unit behind the removable
face-plate and another on the remote control. Using the power button on the VideoReQuest
will “hard-power” the unit on or off, completely cutting the power to the unit. The POWER
button on the remote control initiates a “soft-power” off, which will put your VideoReQuest in a
stand-by mode. Leaving your VideoReQuest in stand-by is a safe way to have quick access to
your movies. The “soft-power” button provides you instant on/off control of your
VideoReQuest.
