CHAPTER 3: CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (such as Blu-ray, games console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.) to the
HDMI IN port of the transmitter.
2. Connect an audio system such as an AV receiver to the AUDIO OUT port of the transmitter.
3. Connect a good quality, well-terminated CATx cable between the HDBT OUT port of the transmitter to the HDBT IN port of the
receiver.
4. Connect the HDMI display device such as a TV to the HDMI OUT port of the receiver.
5. For two-way IR control of connected sources and displays from either location, first, connect IR Emitters to the IR OUT ports of
the transmitter and receiver, and then insert IR Receivers into the IR IN ports of the transmitter and receiver.
6. For the DIP switch of the audio output of the receiver:
When you configure the ARC channel feed by TV, switch it to ARC mode. The TV should be supported and ARC and CEC should be
open. See Figure 3-1.
When you configure the auxiliary S/PDIF input, switch it to S/PDIF mode and connect an audio system to the AUDIO IN port of the
receiver. See Figure 3-2.
7. Connect the included 12-V power supply to the transmitter. The PoE function carries power along the length of cable to power the
receiver.
Check that Power, Status, and HDCP and Link lights are illuminated on both units to indicate successful connection, with a lit HDCP
light illustrating the presence of encryption within the signal. Power and Link are static lights. Status should be blinking.

CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Follow these steps to troubleshoot your extender:
1. Power: Make sure all devices are powered on (the sources, extender and display).
2. Indicator: Make sure LED indicators of the extender is normal according to user manual.
3. Devices: Make sure a picture can be shown normally when connecting source to display devices directly.
4. Cable: Plug in and out an HDMI/CATx cable or try another HDMI/CATx cable. Make sure the specific cable length is within the
transmission range in the user manual Specification section. CAT5e/6/6a/7 cable is recommended, do not use CAT5 cable. Make sure
the two connectors of one CATx cable are the same standard (EIA/TIA 568B).
5. Compatibility: Test other source and display devices to determine if it is a compatibility issue.
