TROUBLESHOOTING
If you do not see a picture on your TV:
Check that the Sender and the Receiver are on the same letter channel (A, B,
C, or D). The channel switches are on the bottom of the units.
There is a power light on the front of each unit. Check that the power switch
on the side of each unit is ON.
Verify that your connections to the TV are correct. If you are using the RCA
jacks, make sure you are using the appropriate input mode for your TV, try
pressingthe A-B button or Video button on yourTV's remote control to change
the input mode (consult your TV's owner's manual, if necessary). If you are
using the COAX cable, verify that the Receiver and the TV are on the same
channel (3 or 4).
If you connected the Receiver to a VCR and then connected the VCR to your
TV, you might need to turn the VCR OFF to see the picture on your TV. Or
you might need to turn the VCR on, AND set it to record the picture from the
Video Sender, in order to see the picture on your TV. Or you might need to
press the A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR's
owner's manual from more information.
Point antennas at each other
If you get a picture but the quality is poor:
Try different positions for the antennas on the Sender and Receiver.The system
usually works best with the flat side of the antennas facing each other (see
diagrambelow).Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects inthehome
mightaffect the signal so that some adjustment of either the Senderor Receiver
antenna may be necessary to get the best the signal.
THE REMOTE EXTENDER FEATURE
The Remote Extender feature allows X10 universal remotes to control some
models of RCA DBS Receivers from another room. For example, you can
change channels on your Satellite Receiver while viewing in another room.
To use the Remote Extender Function you need to use the included Remote
Extender Cable. Connect this cable to the IR jack on the Video Sender.
Connect the other end of the cable to the IR Control input on the RCA DBS
Receiver (DBS II or later model).
Point the small tubular antenna on the Video Sender up.
To operate the controls on the RCA DBS Satellite Receiver from another
room, just press the appropriate buttons on the remote (in SAT mode). The
remote sends RF signals directly to the Video Sender, even through walls.
The Video Sender passes these signals through the Remote Extender cable
to the RCA DBS Satellite Receiver.
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to the
Receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fields can distort the signal. Try
to keep the Receiver as far away from other devices as the cables allow. In
most cases, relocating the Sender or Receiver a few feet is enough to avoid
the source of interference.
Tryunplugging/turningoff any electromagnetic interferenceproducingdevices,
such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless LAN, wireless
speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc. Other 2.4 GHz devices can distort
the picture and/or cause buzzing in the audio. If you are experiencing
interference between the Video Sender and some other equipment that uses
2.4 GHz, check the other device's owner's manual for the frequencies of each
channelthatituses. X10 Video Senders use the following frequencies: Channel
A: 2.411 GHz, Chan B: 2.434 GHz, Chan C: 2.453 GHz, Chan D: 2.473 GHz.
We recommend using a frequency on the other device that is farthest from
channel A or D, depending on which side of the band the other device is
transmitting. Otherwise you will need to discontinue use of the device while
using the Video Sender and Receiver.
