32 INTRODUCTION Your Wireless Audio/Video Sender system consists of a Sender unit whichyou connect to your satellite receiver, DVD player, etc., and a Receiverunit that you connect to a TV located somewhere else in your home. TheAudio/Video Sender converts the audio and video output from your A/Vproduct into a 5.8 GHz wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signal andtransmits it (even through walls) to the Audio/Video Receiver. The Audio/Video Receiver converts the signal back to an A/V signal and passes itthrough a cable to your TV’s Audio/Video input jacks.You can connect two A/V devices to the Audio/Video Sender and youcan select which of these two sources is transmitted to the Audio/VideoReceiver - and you can select this remotely, from the location where theAudio/Video Receiver is located.The Audio/Video Sender system also includes an IR Extender feature.This lets you remotely control the A/V products that are connected to theSender, from the location where the Receiver is located. For example, youcould pause a DVD Player in your living room, or change channels on aSatellite Box in your living room, while watching it on a TV in yourbedroom.There are just a few simple steps to follow to hook up your Audio/VideoSender system to a satellite receiver, VCR, DVD Player, or Cable Box.CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ........................................................................ 3CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS .................................................. 4SENDER ............................................................................ 4RECEIVER .......................................................................... 5CONNECTING UP..................................................................... 6HOOKING UP THE SENDER .................................................... 6HOOKING UP THE RECEIVER ................................................. 8SWITCHING SOURCES BY REMOTE CONTROL ............................... 8IR EXTENDER FEATURE ........................................................... 9FINE TUNING YOUR SYSTEM .................................................... 10
