Set the BT Mode switch on the rear panel of the NDEV accordingly. Set the switch to the right if they are wired or to the left if they are wireless. In addition, be sure to connect them to the connectors on the left side of the NDEV if they are wired. It makes no difference which of the four connectors are used. <B>Note:</B> Because a coaxial cable is used for wired remotes, Bluetooth technology is used for both types. 4119</p> 4120<li>Placing the Sensor Bar</li> 4121<p> 4122The Sensor Bar connector is located above the AV connector on the rear panel of the NDEV. Connect the Sensor Bar to this connector. We recommend that you place the Sensor Bar directly above or below the television screen. 4123</p> 4124<li>Registration</li> 4125<p>The included Wii Remotes have not been paired with the NDEV. To use the Wii Remotes, you must pair them, whether they are wired or wireless. 4126 </p> 4127<p> 4128For a Wii Remote and Wii console to use wireless communication, they must be paired first so that communication does not occur with other pieces of hardware that are within wireless range. The Wii console can start pairing in the middle of an application. To pair Wii Remotes, press SYNCHRO on the front panel of the Wii console. When SYNCHRO is pressed, the Wii console searches for a Wii Remote waiting to be paired. The duration of the search varies as given below depending on the number of Wii Remotes currently attempting communication. 4129</p> 4130<table> 4131<tr><td>0 or 1</td><td>:</td><td>5 seconds</td></tr> 4132<tr><td>2</td><td>:</td><td>10 seconds</td></tr> 4133<tr><td>3</td><td>:</td><td>20 seconds</td></tr> 4134</table> 4135<p> 4136In addition, the search ends when the number of communicating Wii Remotes and the number of discovered Wii Remotes reaches 4. 4137</p> 4138<p> 4139While the Wii console is searching, be sure to press SYNCHRO inside the battery cover of the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote enters normal pairing wait status when SYNCHRO is pressed. The Player LED of the Wii Remote flashes during pairing. After a short time, pairing will finish and only one of the four Player LEDs will be lit. 4140</p> 4141</ol> 4142<li>Known Issues</li> 4143 <ul> 4144<li>Pairing with Multiple Wii Remotes</li> 4145<p> 4146Normal pairing with the fourth Wii Remote takes a relatively long time. In addition, sometimes pairing with another Wii Remote is suddenly lost. This is due to a problem with the driver. The problem should be resolved in the next release. We recommend using three or fewer remotes until the next release. 4147</p> 4148<li>Hot Connecting Nunchuks</li> 4149<p> 4150Nunchuks support hot connections. However, in rare cases, Wii Remotes suddenly become unresponsive when a Nunchuk is hot-swapped. This problem should be resolved in the next release. We recommend connecting and disconnecting Nunchuks while the Wii Remotes are not paired. 4151</p> 4152<li>Reconnect Timeout</li> 4153<p> 4154A Wii Remote will disconnect when the battery is depleted or the Power Button is held down for one second. Pairing can be reestablished by pressing any of the buttons on the Wii Remote. However, reconnection takes about one minute if attempted immediately after disconnection. This problem will be resolved in the future. Until then, wait a few seconds after disconnecting before reconnecting. 4155</p> 4156<li>Speaker</li> 4157<p> 4158The speaker feature cannot be used with the current release.
