This is how you get it to work. Go to radio shack and by a mono stereo plug. Now cut one end of the plug off and connect the copper wire to the IR in on the connecting block) Secondly use the shield, which is braided silver wires and connect that to the ground.

Now, plug the other enf of the plug into the back of the TV.

Heres the problem you probably connected a 5mm plug into the Xanatech IR connecting block, which is bad.. That 5mm plug input on the xanatech connecting block is looking for a stereo connection (three wires) for their own brand of IR emitters. So, what happens is you ground out the power supply and your transformer gets really hot (little fire hazard.) Xanatech does not tell you that the 5mm plug input is stereo and the connecting block is mono! Toshiba does not tell you if their inputs require stereo or mono, whcih could be pretty awful if you grounded out your TV.

You will probably need a new power supply for the xanatech, because its fried, if you did what I did, and think you did. You can get that at Radio shack. HAve themm connect the plug on to the transforme, so you know you have tip right!

lastly, it is probaly a waste of time, because as noted in the previosu post, the lens ferreule, provides a bad angle and you have to elevate the remote to get the thing to work. I used a repeater to get around this, if it helps.

good luck!
