INTRODUCTION
Your Wireless Audio/Video Sender system consists of a Sender unit which
you connect to your satellite receiver, DVD player, etc., and a Receiver
unit that you connect to a TV anywhere in your home. The Audio/Video
Sender converts the A/V signal from your A/V product into a 2.4 GHz
wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signal and transmits it (even through walls)
to the Audio/Video Receiver unit. The Audio/Video Receiver converts the
signal back to an A/V signal and passes it through a cable to your TV’s
COAX input, or A/V input jacks.
The Audio/Video Sender system also includes an IR Extender feature. This
lets you remotely control the A/V product that the Sender is connected to,
from the location where the Receiver is located. For example, you can
control a DVD Player in your living room, while watching it on a TV in
your bedroom.
There are just a few simple steps to follow to hook up your Audio/Video
Sender system to a satellite receiver, VCR, DVD Player, or Cable Box.

CONNECTING UP
Hooking up the Audio/Video Sender
1. Connect one set of Audio/Video cables to the VIDEO and AUDIO
jacks of your Audio/Video Sender. Take care to match the colors of the
plugs on the cable with the jacks on the Audio/Video Sender.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Audio/Video OUT jacks on
your TV. Take care to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with
the jacks on the TV. If the jacks on the TV are colored differently,
connect the yellow plug to the jack labelled VIDEO, the red plug to the
jack labelled AUDIO RIGHT and the white plug to the jack labeled
AUDIO LEFT. See diagram A below.
Note: If your TV does not include Audio/Video OUT jacks, you will
need to remake the connections as shown in diagram B) using the
TV antenna (coaxial) connections to link up a Satellite Receiver
(DBS), or Cable Box, or VCR, or DVD Player to your TV.
3. Plug the Audio/Video Sender’s Power Supply into a convenient 120 volt
wall outlet and plug its jack into the Audio/Video Sender.
4. Position the Audio/Video Sender in a convenient location such as on top
of your TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the
direction of the room where you will be installing the Receiver.
If you have several A/V
components:
If you have two or more A/V
components (e.g. Satellite Receiver
(DBS), VCR, Cable Box, DVD Player,
etc.) that you want to watch in another
room, they will probably already be
hooked up to the local TV in series (see
the diagram to the right). To connect the
Audio/Video Sender you just need to
identify the last component in the chain
and connect its LINE OUT jacks to the
Audio/Video Sender’s A/V IN jacks.
If the last component in the chain does
not have spare LINE OUT jacks,
reconnect the local TV to the last
component in the chain using a coaxial
cable to connect to the VHF/UHF jack,
then use the A/V connections for the
Audio/Video Sender.

3. Position the Audio/Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on
top of your TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the
direction of the room where you set up the Audio/Video Sender.

If your TV does not have A/V connectors:
You can use the supplied coaxial cable to connect the TV OUT COAX
socket on the Audio/Video Receiver to the Antenna input on your TV. If
you already have an antenna connected to your TV, you will need to use a
TV antenna splitter as shown below.
If your second TV is already hooked
up to a Satellite Receiver or other
A/V device:
If your Satellite Receiver or other A/V
component is connected to the TV using
A/V cables, you can connect the Audio/
Video Receiver to the free LINE IN
jacks on the component. If there are no
LINE IN jacks, you will need to use a
TV antenna splitter as described on the
next page.
Set your TV and the TV Channel switch on the Audio/Video Receiver (on
the bottom of the unit) to the same channel (3 or 4).

FINE TUNING YOUR SYSTEM
The Wireless Audio/Video Sender usually works best with the flat faces of
the antennas on the Sender and Receiver units facing each other, see
diagram below. Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in your
home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either the Sender or
Receiver antenna might be necessary to get the best signal.
If you are not getting any sound or picture at all from the Receiver:
• Check that the CHANNEL slide switch (labeled A, B, C, D) on both
units is set to the same letter. The switch is on the bottom of the Sender
unit and it’s under the flip-up antenna on the Receiver unit.
• Check that both the Sender’s and Receiver’s power supplies are
plugged in.
• Check that the ON/OFF switch on the Sender and Receiver are ON.
If the video or sound is poor, or there is interference:
Try changing the channel on both units. Do this by adjusting the
CHANNEL slide switch on each unit to any position from A to D. Make
sure both units are set to the same letter.

USING THE IR EXTENDER FEATURE
The IR extender feature lets you use your original remote control to control
the A/V product that the Audio/Video Sender is connected to. E.G., if the
Sender is connected to a DVD Player, or VCR in your living room, and the
Audio/Video Receiver is connected to a TV in your bedroom; you can
control the DVD Player or VCR while watching the picture from it on the
TV in your bedroom. You do this by pointing your remote control at the
Audio/Video Receiver that’s connected to your bedroom TV. It receives
the IR commands from your remote and converts them to wireless Radio
Frequency (RF) commands, and sends them to the Audio/Video Sender.
You plug the IR extender cable into the jack on the back of the Audio/
Video Sender and attach the IR emitters to the front of the DVD Player,
or VCR, etc. that you want to control.
Audio/Video
Sender.
1. Plug the IR extender jack on the IR emitter cord into the IR EXT.
socket located on the back of the Audio/Video Sender.
2. Place the emitter cord in front of the two devices you want to control
(e.g., DVD and VCR).
3. Make sure that the two IR emitters are attached close to the IR sensors
on the devices you want to control.
The IR emitter cord lets you control up to two IR devices.
