Take care to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the jacks on the Video Transmitter. 2.4 GHz Video Antenna 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Audio/Video OUT jacks on your primary TV (the one you want to send the picture FROM). 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. 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 the DSS Receiver/ Cable Box/VCR to your TV.

Position the Video Transmitter in a convenient location such as on top of the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction of the room where you will be installing the Video Receiver. IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL A/V HOOKING UP THE VIDEO RECEIVER 1. Connect a set of Audio/Video cables the A/V OUT jacks of your Video Receiver. Connect the other end to your secondary TV. COMPONENTS If you have two or more A/V components (e.g. DSS, VCR, Cable Box, Video Disk 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 Video Transmitter you just need to identify the last component in the chain and connect its LINE OUT jacks to the Video Transmitter's LINE 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 coaxial cables to connect the VHF/UHF ports, then use the A/V connections for the Video Transmitter. Point the small tubular antenna up if you intend to use the IR Extender feature (See page 15). 2. Plug the Video Receiver's Power Supply into a 120 volt wall outlet and plug its jack into the Video Receiver. 3. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on top of the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction of the room where you set up the Video Transmitter. IF YOUR TV DOES NOT A/V CONNECTORS HAVE You can use the supplied coaxial cable to connect the TV OUT socket on the 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. Set your TV and the TV Channel switch on the Video Receiver (on bottom) to the same channel (3 or 4). VK30A -12/98 10 11 VK30A-12/98 FINE T UNING IF YOUR SECOND TV RECEIVER IS ALREADY RECEIVER OR OTHER A/V DEVICE HOOKED UP TO A VIDEO TRANSMITTER STEREO SYSTEM ONLY YOU WANT TO USE YOUR TRANSMIT FROM YOUR Just hook up the Video Transmitter using only the red and white jacks for the right and left channels of the audio signal. Leave the yellow (video) jacks unconnected. VIDEO SENDER The Wireless Video Sender usually works best with the flat faces of the antennas on the Transmitter and Receiver unit facing each other (i.e. in “Line of sight” - see diagram below). Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either the Transmitter or Receiver antenna may be necessary to get the best the signal. If your DSS Receiver or other A/V component is connected to the TV using A/V cables, you can connect the 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 earlier. IF YOUR DSS TO IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY SIGNAL AT ALL Check that the CHANNEL slide switch (labeled 1 to 4) on both Video Sender units (on bottom) is set to the same number. If you are using coaxial TV connections from the Video Receiver, check that the TV is tuned to the same channel as the TV Channel switch on the bottom of the Video Receiver (3 or 4). IF THE SIGNAL IS POOR, OR THERE IS INTERFERENCE Try changing the channel on both Video Sender units. Do this by adjusting the CHANNEL slide switch on the bottom of each Video Sender unit to any position from 1-4. Make sure both units are set to the same channel.
