INSTALLATION
1Connect a single CAT5e/6/7 cable between the Receiver and
Transmitter using the HDBaseT ports
2Connect a HDMI cable* between the Transmitter’s HDMI Input and
the source device (i.e. a blu-ray player)
3Connect a HDMI cable* between the Receiver’s HDMI Output and
the receiving device (i.e. a LCD TV)
4Connect the supplied IR buds to the Transmitter and the Receiver
(Please refer to the diagram to identify the IR Emitter and IR Receiver)
The IR Emitter is to be placed on the infrared sensor of the source
device. The IR Receiver is to be placed on the TV edge using the
attached sticky pad.
5Connect the supplied power supply to the Transmitter
6 Check the LEDs on the HDBaseT ports of the Receiver and
Transmitter to ensure correct installation and connection:
The Yellow LED will illuminate when connected to a video link
The Green LED will illuminate when the device is connected to the
power supply
7 Check the IR activity on the IR Indicator LEDs (A):
The Reciever’s LED will ash Green when IR signals are being
received. The Transmitter’s LED will ash Red when IR signals are
being sent
* HDMI cables are not supplied with this extender set

TROUBLESHOOTING
Should you encounter installation difculties or issues with device
communication, the following checklist of common issues and causes
should help resolve your issues.
No or poor picture quality:
• Connected and powered? Double check all HDMI, Ethernet and power
cables are rmly connected into the correct ports and all devices are
correctly powered.
• Cable length? Are you approaching the maximum distance of the cable
(70m for 1080p or 40m for 4K UltraHD)? If so, adjust the picture quality or try
using an additional extender kit to go further distance. Cables bundled
together may cause cross talk and further degrade signal quality.
• Signal strength? The use of cable joins, stranded patch panels, wall
outlets and stranded patch leads as interconnects between them,
can signicantly reduce signal strength. Use solid core straight through
connections wherever possible.
• If you reduce the resolution of the source do you get a picture? If so,
this suggests a conicting resolution between source and display or a
bandwidth capacity issue with your cable. Check all inputs and outputs
share the same resolution capabilities.
• Picture ‘snow’ / HD ‘noise’ signies a failure to fully establish a signal and
can often be caused by poorly terminated RJ45 connectors or excess
cable lengths. Ensure your cable is correctly wired to 568B standards.
• Cable quality and condition - HDMI cable/connectors can easily be
damaged and the quality of material can vary, Always use good quality
leads and cables and try swapping cables that are known to be working
into the solution to see if this improves your image.
IR control:
• Are the IR emitters and receivers correctly positioned to allow infrared
signals to be transmitted and received through the extender kit? Emitters
should be xed rmly over infrared sensors of sources. Receivers should be
attached to displays ensuring a clear line of sight to the remote control
used to operate.
• Is your remote control powered and sending a signal? As IR is invisible to
the naked eye, check your remote is transmitting a signal by viewing the
remote handset sensor thought a digital camera/camera phone. The
sensor should ash when a button on the handset is held down.
• IR signal dropout can be experienced due to exterior emissions of infrared
radiation. Ensure emitters and receivers are away from direct sunlight.
Halogen lighting and plasma screens may also interfere with IR signal.
