Installation
Before connecting the AVMOD17 :
•Set the channel switches at the back of the transmitter and the receiver to the same channel
•The connection method will be defined by your TV and the A/V component you're going to use (VCR, DVD player,
etc). Read the manual of that device carefully and then connect the AVMOD17 according to the guidelines below :
1. Installing the Transmitter
1.1. Connecting the Transmitter with an A/V Device
A/V connection
Connect the mini plug of the provided A/V cables with the A/V jack at the back of the transmitter and insert the plugs
at the other end in the VIDEO, AUDIO & OUT jacks (or SCART connector "OUT") at the back of the A/V device
(marked LINE OUT). See figure 3.
RF connection – for an A/V component without additional A/V output jacks
If your A/V device is equipped with only 1 set of A/V output jacks and you want to connect it with your TV, then you
should connect the OUT connection of the A/V device and the VHF/UHF connection of the TV via a coaxial cable. If
you also want to watch cable on that TV, you should connect the input source of your cable TV with the IN
connection of the A/V device. See also fig. 4.

Other Applications
Using a Remote Control
The wireless A/V transmitter makes it possible to control A/V components from another room using your existing
remote control. Follow the steps below to use this function :
1. Place the transmitter on top of the A/V source. Make sure the front of the transmitter and that of the A/V source
device are facing each other. Raise the IR antenna of the transmitter.
OR
Place the transmitter next to the A/V source and plug the IR eye in the jack at the back of the transmitter. Fix the
IR eye directly to the IR window at the front of the A/V source (see fig. 11) OR place the IR eye in front of the A/V
source device (see fig. 12). Raise the IR antenna of the transmitter.
2. Position the receiver so that the signal from the remote control can reach the IR window at the front of the
receiver.
3. Use your remote control as usual : aim it at the front of the receiver during use.
Connecting the Transmitter with a Camcorder
You can use the wireless A/V transmitter for the wireless transmission of the image of a camcorder to a random TV.
Connect a set of A/V cables with the A/V jack of the transmitter and with the output jacks of the camcorder. Make
sure the colours of the plugs match those of the jacks of the camcorder.
Connection to a Stereo System
You can connect the wireless A/V transmitter with your stereo system, enabling you to listen to music from your CD
player, cassette deck or radio in another room.
1. Connect the mini plug of a set of A/V cables with the A/V jack at the back of the transmitter; connect the other end
with the two audio jacks (red and white) of the stereo system. Make sure the colours of the plugs match those of
the jacks of the transmitter. The yellow video plug remains unused here.
2. Connect the mini plug of a set of A/V cables with the A/V jack at the back of the receiver; connect the other end of
the cable with the IN 1 or IN 2 jacks of your stereo amplifier or receiver. Make sure the colours of the plugs match
those of the jacks of the device. The yellow video plug remains unused here.
Transmitting via the Computer
The wireless A/V transmitter can send computer images and sounds (e.g. high-resolution DVD) to a large TV screen
without running cables between the two. In order to use this function your computer must be equipped with an audio
input (e.g. sound card) and a video output (e.g. VGA card with TV output or external VGA to TV converter).
1. Connect the mini plug of a mini RCA cable with the video input jack of the transmitter
2. Connect the yellow (video) plug of the mini RCA cable with the video input jack of the computer.
3. Connect a mini stereo "Y" adapter (available in any electronics shop) with the LINE OUT jack of the computer and
connect the red and white A/V jacks with the red and white A/V plugs of the mini RCA cable coming from the
transmitter.
Receiving on a Computer
You can use your computer as a TV in conjunction with a video capture device or a TV tuner. You don't even have to
run any cables between the computer and the A/V device.

Troubleshooting
No signal is being received
•Check if the transmitter and the receiver are properly connected with the A/V components you want to use for the
transmission or reception of the A/V signals.
•Transmitter and receiver should be ON.
•The TV and the video source (VCR, DVD player, satellite receiver, etc.) should be ON.
•All plugs should be pushed all the way in.
•Check all cable connections.
•Make sure the CHANNEL switches of the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same channel.
•If you use an RF modulator to connect the receiver to your TV then you should check if the TV is set to the same
channel as the TV CHANNEL switch of the RF modulator (3 or 4).
There is a weak signal or there's interference
•Rotate the transmitter to improve reception.
•Set transmitter and receiver to a different channel e.g. select channel 3 for both instead of channel 1).
•A microwave can cause interference if it is being used in close proximity to the transmitter or the receiver or if it
interrupts the direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Remove the microwave or turn it off.
•The distance between the transmitter and the receiver should not exceed the transmission range.
If the A/V source cannot be operated with your remote control
•Extend the IR antenna and adjust the orientation of the antenna.
•Replace the batteries of the remote control.
•Use the remote of the A/V source device and not that of another device.
Care and Maintenance
•Keep this device out of reach of small children.
•Do not try to open the housing to avoid damaging the device.
•Keep the device dry. Rain, moisture and fluids contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
•Do not store the device in a dusty or dirty environment to avoid damage to the moving parts.
•Do not store the device in a warm environment. High temperatures shorten the lifespan of electronic devices and
can warp plastic parts.
•Do not store the device in a very cold environment. When the device is then moved to a warmer environment this
may lead to condensation inside the housing. This condensation may damage the electronic circuits.
•Do not drop or shake the device and do not subject it to severe shocks. A rough treatment may cause damage to
the internal circuits.
•Do not use solvents or abrasives to clean the housing.
•Only use the included power supply or a supply with identical technical specifications.
•Avoid overcharging outlets or cables as this may lead to fire or electroshocks.
