I just know very basic electronics but it seems to me that unless the emitter and detector are internally grounded together, one of the signal leads would be the signal itself and the other one the reference level (i.e. ground). This ground would be essentially the same as the ground for the emitter.
I'll have to figure this out for the hack to work. I'll buy a multimeter today. :-D
