CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same
video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple
sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

FEATURES
Vanco Powered by Wyrestorm HDMI Extender over a single category cable (VPW-280572) is a short range
single cable extender set capable of transmitting full 1080p HD video, HD audio and one-way IR source control
together through the HDMI signal over a single Cat5e/6/7 of up to 131 ft under ideal conditions. For control
and ne tuning, the VPW-280572 offers DIP switches on both the transmitter and receiver baluns to either
encourage EDID communication between devices to ensure compatibility, or to fully adjust EQ distance range
for transmission signal optimization. The VPW-280572 also features protection against ESD (electrostatic
discharge) within each balun to further stabilize transmission with LEDs on each unit for clear power and video
signal indication.

CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect 1 source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc.
to the HDMI input on the transmitter balun.
2. Connect 1 display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the receiver balun.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6/7 up to 131 ft (40m) to both transmitter and receiver baluns.
4. Plug in the IR receiver to the (IR RX) jack port located on the Receiver balun. The IR receiver is the larger
and rectangular shaped emitter; place this IR receiver at a desired place that will receive a remote signal.
5. Plug in the IR transmitter to the (IR TX) jack port located on the Transmitter balun. The IR transmitter is
the smaller, and rounded at the end emitter, place in front of the IR receiver of the source, ensure that the
emitter is placed in front of the IR receiver eye.
6. For power, plug in the source rst, followed by the Vanco Powered by Wyrestorm Extender Receiver and
then Transmitter (2 5V DC power supplies included), followed by the output connected.
7. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when
plugged in.
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal
is being displayed, connect a shorter Cat5e/6/7 cable (less than 15 ft). If no signal is still displaying, adjust
the DIP switch for EDID, if a signal displays with the shorter category cable, the EQ distance will need to be
adjusted to the longer category cable being used. Use the source remote at the receiver emitter to test IR
functionality. If a display is having difculty receiving a signal after adjusting EDID and distance, access the
display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh
rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher. If the IR remote function is not responding, check the emitters to
ensure they are placed correctly and are plugged into the correct IR jacks on the Extender set receiver and
transmitter baluns.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
1. Best results are usually achieved when the source and display resolutions are the same. If resolutions
differ, the extenders will try to adjust the signal to match the resolution of the HDTV with the lowest
resolution. This will result in a picture with a lower resolution on the other HDTV sets.
2. If you do not get audio and video, access the “setup” menu on the TV to adjust the audio and video
settings. If the HDMI control circuit cannot establish a handshake, then there usually will be no audio or
video in addition to a blue or black screen with a statement similar to “this protocol not supported” or
“weak signal”.
3. If the above mentioned messages display, reset the receiver by disconnecting the power supply. You can
also disconnect all of the HDMI and power cables, wait 15 minutes for any voltages to decay and then
reconnect all of the cables.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables
disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco
unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, nally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from
the receiver into it. This activates all of the devices in corresponding order and results in a signal being
plugged into a device that is on and will attempt to connect the signal.
5. Most of the major source and display manufacturers employ a proprietary control channel to communicate
between devices from the same manufacturer. Sometimes this can interfere with the HDMI control circuit
or the authentication of the signal. Call the manufacturer if you experience this issue. Sometimes a player,
an audio/video receiver, or a cable/satellite box may not have the latest software update, usually this can
be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
6. If you have problems with the IR control circuit, make sure that the IR RX pigtail is plugged into extender
receiver and pointed at the display, and the IR TX pigtail is attached to the extender sender and pointed at
the source.
