INTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION
NTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION
NTRODUCTION
Your Wireless Video Sender kit consists of a Sender base unit
which connects to your DBS™ receiver, DVD player, VCR, or cable
box, and a Receiver unit which connects to the TV in another room.
The Video Sender converts the A/V signal from your DBS, etc.,
into a radio signal and transmits it (even through walls) to the
Video Receiver unit. The Video Receiver converts the signals back
to A/V signals which are fed through a cable to your TV's A/V
input jacks.

1. Connect one set of Audio/Video cables to the VIDEO and
AUDIO jacks of your Video Sender. Take care to match the
colors of the plugs on the cable with the jacks on the Video
Sender.
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:Note:
Note:Note:
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 DBS
Receiver/Cable Box/VCR to your TV.
3. Plug the Video Sender's Power Supply (the smaller of the two
power supplies) into a convenient 120 volt wall outlet and plug
its jack into the Video Sender.
4. Position the Video Sender 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 two or more A/V
components (e.g. DBS, 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 Sender
you just need to identify the last
component in the chain and connect its
LINE OUT jacks to the Video Sender'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 Sender.

The Wireless Video Sender usually works best with the flat faces of
the antennas on the Sender and Receiver unit facing each other
(i.e. see diagram below). Sometimes, however, reflections and
other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some
adjustment of either the Sender or Receiver antenna may be
necessary to get the best the signal.

Try changing the channel on both units. Do this by adjusting the
CHANNEL slide switch on each Video Sender/Receiver unit to any
position from A-D. Make sure both units are set to the same
channel. Make sure the printed side of both antennas is facing
each other.
