Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the DigiSender® HQ2 - Twin Input 5.8GHz Wireless AV Sender. This
product represents state of the art wireless audio and video technology and the most advanced
Infra-Red relay technology at exceptional value for money.
You can now enjoy DVD quality video and Hi-Fi stereo sound from your Satellite, Cable, Freeview,
DVD or VCR in another room in your home.
The DigiSender® HQ2 is a twin input wireless AV sender with a difference. Because it uses 5.8GHz
to transmit rather than the much more common 2.4GHz, you can use the DigiSender® HQ2 without
the worry of interference from wireless routers, Bluetooth devices and other wireless products. It
also incorporates our advanced DigiEye™ remote relay technology allowing flawless operation with
every set top box ever made.
Benef t from 5.8GHz transm ss on, 2 SCART Inputs, 4 Aud o/V deo Channels, 4 Remote Relay
Channels and unsurpassed compat b l ty w th the new D g Sender® HQ2!

Audio/Video Channel slider switch to 1, 2, 3 or 4.

be the problem
w th the sound?
I can see the picture but
can’t hear anything.

ment.
There is a hissing sound
