Wireless TV Link
SBC VL1100
Congratulations! The Philips Wireless TV Link SBC VL1100 you have just
purchased is manufactured to the highest standards and will give you years
of trouble-free use.
The Philips Wireless TV Link SBC VL1100 allows you to distribute any kind
of video signal (digital or analogue set-top boxes, DVDs, satellite receivers,
VCRs etc.) or cable programme (via your VCR) throughout the house
without the need for extra wiring, running cables or drilling holes.
For example, you can enjoy the freedom of watching Pay-TV or a film from
your living-room video recorder on your bedroom TV.
The original remote controls of your video sources can be used to control
the video sources remotely from your bedroom.
The Philips Wireless TV Link is based on wireless RF technology that offers
you in-home portability. Because it is wireless it is more susceptible to
outside interference than for instance cabled signals.This interference may
come from sources that include microwave ovens or other TV Links in the
vicinity.
To enable you to enjoy the best possible performance, the Philips Wireless
TV Link has a channel selector switch, which enables you to select the
channel that provides optimum viewing. Pure wireless home convenience!

3Check if the AV content is shown on the second TV.
4Point the remote control of the connected video source at the receiver.
5Change the program number (up/down) or toggle between play and stop.
6Check if the remote control receiver light (10) on the receiver unit blinks
red.
> This indicates that it has received the remote control command.
7Check if the red remote control receiver light (2) on the transmitter unit
blinks red.
> This indicates that it has received the remote control command from the
receiver unit.
•If the remote control receiver light does not blink, try repositioning the
transmitter and/or receiver units.
> The remote control receiver light on the transmitter unit should now
blink when a remote control command is given on the receiver side.
If you still cannot operate a video source remotely, connect the remote
control blaster cord.
For this, see ‘Using the remote control blaster cord’.

Additional features
Using the remote control blaster cord
If the video source does not respond to remote control commands, the
remote control blaster cord should be connected.
1Ensure that the transmitter unit is switched off.
2Connect the blaster cord to the IR connector (7) of the transmitter
unit.
3Locate the position of the IR sensor on the video source.
Normally it is located on the front panel, positioned to the left or right
of the display. (See the User Manual of yourVCR, DVD or SAT box.)
4Remove the adhesive tape from the IR light and fix the IR light on the
IR sensor of the video source.
Notes:
– Placing the IR light 5-10 cm in front of the video source instead of precisely
on the device makes finding the exact location less critical.
– Particular brands and types of TV react to remote control signals by making a
buzzing noise when a command is given.
– If you are still having problems getting your configuration to work correctly,
check ‘Problem solving’.
– It is possible to control devices of most brands, but some devices from Sagem,
Nokia and Bang & Olufsen cannot be controlled remotely.
