Control signal
Set the IR Blaster by the following procedure.
1Put the supplied double sided seal on the IR Blaster.
Do not remove the opposite face of the double sided seal yet. You can also use a
store-bought double sided seal.
2Connect the IR Blaster to the IR EXTENDER jack on the rear of the
transmitter.
Do not connect the other of supplied IR Blaster.
3Position the IR Blaster above the infrared receiver on the A/V
equipment.
To locate the infrared receiver, see the instruction manual for the connected A/V
equipment. Make sure to place the IR Blaster just above the infrared receiver.
4Perform the operation test.
Point and operate the remote control of A/V equipment at the receiver’s infrared receiver,
and check the performance of the connected A/V equipment correctly.
5Fix the IR Blaster.
After performing the operation test on the connected A/V equipment, remove the opposite
face of the double sided seal, and then fix the IR Blaster in the installation in step 3.
Notes
• Some A/V equipment may not operate correctly, depending on the installation location. Install the IR
Blaster and A/V equipment’s infrared receiver as close as possible.
•If other A/V equipment is nearby the transmitter, accidental wrong operation of this A/V equipment may
occur due to the location of the IR Blaster. In this case, change the installation location of the IR Blaster.
• If you place the transmitter too close to the receiver, the signal may be looped from the receiver back to
the transmitter. In this case, place the receiver further apart from the transmitter.

Troubleshooting
There is no picture or sound on the TV.
The unit does not turn on.
The unit does not connect
to A/V equipment
correctly, or there is no
A/V signal from the A/V
equipment.
The transmitter’s
frequency is different
from the receiver’s.
No signal reaches the
receiver.
Electromagnetic
interference occurs.
The TV is not set to the
appropriate input.
cMake sure to turn on the transmitter and receiver.
cMake sure to connect the transmitter to the AC power adaptor,
and then to a wall outlet.
cMake sure to connect the receiver to the AC power adaptor, and
then to a wall outlet.
cMake sure to connect the transmitter to the A/V equipment.
cMake sure to connect the receiver to the TV, and the receiver to
the dedicated antenna.
cTurn on the A/V equipment connected to the transmitter and
play back.
cMake sure to set the CHANNEL switch of the transmitter and
receiver to the same position.
cAdjust the direction of the dedicated antenna (page 12).
cSet the transmitter closer to the dedicated antenna.
cIf there are any obstacles (especially metallic) between the
transmitter and the receiver, remove them.
cReorient the dedicated antenna to minimize the problem (page
12).
cWhen you are using a microwave oven near the dedicated
antenna, electromagnetic interference occurs in the unit, but
stops if you stop using the microwave oven.
cWhen you are using a cordless phone, a wireless LAN,
Bluetooth equipment such as same frequency (2.4 GHz)
wireless equipment as the unit near the dedicated antenna,
change the CHANNEL switch (frequency) to another frequency
to avoid interference, or set the unit away from the interfering
equipment.
cSet the TV to the appropriate input.

There is a noise on the image or sound.
The signal from the
transmitter is weak.
The unit is influenced by
other electromagnetic
radiation.
cReorient the dedicated antenna (page 12).
cSet the transmitter closer to the dedicated antenna.
cIf there are any obstacles (especially metallic) between the
transmitter and the receiver, remove them.
If you set the transmitter or the receiver (the dedicated antenna)
in a cabinet, relocate out of cabinet.
cReorient the dedicated antenna to minimize the problem (page
12).
cWhen you are using a microwave oven near the dedicated
antenna, electromagnetic interference occurs in the unit, but
stops if you stop using the microwave oven.
cWhen you are using a cordless phone, a wireless LAN,
Bluetooth equipment such as same frequency (2.4 GHz)
wireless equipment as the unit near the dedicated antenna,
change the CHANNEL switch (frequency) to another frequency
to avoid interference, or set the unit away from the interfering
equipment.
You cannot use a wireless LAN when you started using the unit.
This malfunction occurs
as a result of the unit and
wireless LAN’s frequency
being the same.
cChange to another frequency so as not to influence the wireless
LAN.
cSet the transmitter away from the equipment using the wireless
LAN.
You cannot operate the remote control.
The remote control signal
does not get to the
receiver’s infrared
receiver.
