Hi. I just installed a power acoustik vhs player along with a ceiling mount screen. The player came with a bulb-like piece on a long wire with a red 1/8 stereo plug on the end. I could not find anywhere on the player for this plug and thought it was an infrared receiver for wireless headphones,until I took out the headphones and found that they have their own infrared receiver. What is this peice and where does it plug into please? Any help is appreciated

the piece is ir remote sensor for a remote control. it should plug into the back of the unit. the ir sensor allows you to control the unit from another location without pointing your remote at the vcr. if you don't have a plug in the back of the unit you don't have this option, although i don't know why power acoustik would have supplied the remote eye.

Thanks. I didn't see the input but I'll check again. You are probably right,if they sent the nsensor there must be a reason. I was thrown off by the plug on the end that looks like a typical headphone or mic plug.
