2. Introduction
ZWD-2500T and ZWD-2500R wireless video
transmission solution allows users to place your
HDTV set or projector where you want- just
connect your HDTV set and ZWD-2500R by
HDMI cable. Any display like LCD, PDP or
computer monitor with HDMI input connector
are applicable to our ZWD-2500R.
Connect the ZWD-2500T to your multiple
High-Definition devices such as Cable/Satellite
Box, HD Set-Top Box, Blu-Ray DVD Player, Game
Console, and Media Center PC hidden in your
cabinet behind your seating area. It reserves
clean space around the perimeter of your TV set
in your living room and solves the cluttered
cables connection problem. You may also place
the transmitter ZWD-2500T and source AV
component near HDTV set.
This solution delivers uncompressed 1080P
@24/30 fps True Cinema video content to your
existing HDTV set wirelessly. It operates the
transmission in 4.9 GHz~ 5.9 GHz frequencies
that can adjust its frequency automatically in case
of interference with another RF system.With
built-in Omni-directional antennas, it can
transmit uncompressed video content over 10
meters (non LOS: non line of sight) whole-room
range with no latency.
Provided IR Sensor Extender Cable and IR
Blaster Extender Cable in the package allows
users to point the existing remote control of
source components at ZWD-2500R directly for
device operation. (These devices with
Transmitter connection may be placed in a
closet or separate room.)

3. Installation
Step1: Multiple Devices Connection
with ZWD-2500T:
(1) Connect the ZWD-2500 TRANSMITTER’s
“HDMI IN” to the High-Definition device’s
“HDMI OUT” by HDMI cable (included).
The ZWD-2500 has two HDMI inputs for
newest High-Definition devices connection,
like PS3, Blu-ray Player.
(2) Connect a set of RCA cables (green, blue,
red-colored cables) between the Y/Pb/Pr IN
jacks of the ZWD-2500T and
corresponding COMPONENT (Y/Pb/Pr
OUT) jacks on your High-Definition
devices.
(3) Use Audio Cables to connect between the
“AUDIO L/R IN” jacks of the ZWD-2500T
and the corresponding “AUDIO L/R OUT”
jacks on your High-Definition devices.
(AUDIO L jack labeled as white-colored,
AUDIO R jack labeled as red-colored.)
Note: Transmitter has 4 source inputs which
means you can have 4 choices for video sources
such as DVD, cable STB, PS3 and media center.
Only one source can be selected and played, so
you need to cycle transmitter to the one desired
video source.
(4) Connect the supplied power adapter
between the DC IN jack of the
ZWD-2500T and a mains socket.The LED
indicator in the POWER button lights up in
solid red when the ZWD-2500T is
connected to the power mains.
Note: The AV components are not
included in ZWD2500 package.

8
Step2: HDTV set Connection with
ZWD-2500R:
(1) Connect the HDMI cable between the
HDMI OUT jack of the ZWD-2500R and
your HDTV set.
Press the SOURCE/INPUT button on
your TV’s remote to select “HDMI” video
mode.
(2) Attach one side of the provided Velcro
(fastening tapes) to the receiver back cover.
Then useVelcro of another side to attach
the receiver directly to the wall next to the
HDTV set.
(3) Connect the supplied power adapter
between the DC IN jack of the
ZWD-2500R and a mains socket.

9
Step3: If necessary, connect the
Infrared (IR) Blaster & Sensor. Users
can point hand-held remote control of
your High Definition device at
ZWD-2500R or HDTV set directly for
source device’s operation beyond
Line-of-sight (20 meters transmission
distance).
(1) Plug the IR Blaster cable into the IR
OUT jack of the ZWD-2500T.
Place the IR blaster head in the IR senor
of your High-Definition video devices
nearby.
The infrared (IR) sensor is on the front of
your High Definition device, usually
behind a dark, sometimes reddish plastic
window.
When the IR blaster cable is connected, it
relays infrared command from your
remote to the various device components.
Users can control AV device with
transmitter connection using existing
remote control directly.
(2) If your connected device will be out of the
direct line of sight of your remote
controls, plug the IR Sensor Extender
cable into the IR IN jack at the rear panel
of the receiver.
Note:
(1) The remote control of ZWD-2500 can only
switch between inputs of ZWD-2500. It
does not switch the inputs of your HDTV
set or projector.
(2) IR blaster only supports 38K (NEC) and
36K (RC5, RC6) remote’s signal protocol.
Some device may not be supported.

10
Step4: Mounting the ZWD-2500R to
the Wall
(1) Refer the drawing of the last page that have
relative position of the receiver key holes
and attach this paper on wall.
(2) Drill pilot holes.
(3) Insert the supplied two Anchors into the
wall.
(4) Insert two screws into the anchors. Leave
1/8” length for mounting the receiver.
(5) Place ZWD-2500R key holes over the
protruding screws and slide down into
position.

11
Step5: Power on your ZWD-2500T and ZWD-2500R
(1) Place the two AAA batteries into the remote control.
(2) If users already plugged the power cord, the power or ZWD-2500 will be turned on
automatically. If it’s under Standby mode (The POWER LED shows red), press the
TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER POWER button to turn on the ZWD-2500T and ZWD-2500R.
(3) During warm-up, the POWER LED will blink blue until the signal link between ZWD-2500T and
ZWD-2500R is established.

12
(4) Ensure your LCD TV set or projector is set to HDMI input mode and already powered on.
(5) Press the Source 1HDMI 2HDMI 3YPbPr 4YPbPr button, until you see the available video
from your device.
(6) If you have some electronic devices like cordless phone, wireless access point/ router used with
5GHz channel frequency near the ZWD-2500, you may experience no/noise picture or diminished
sound quality. Press the CHANNEL button three seconds to adjust to an appropriate channel for
ZWD-2500.

(7) If all the operation is normal, the POWER, SOURCE LED will glow solid blue and Signal Strength
will light in blue with 3 signal strength. Please refer the next LED details part:
Note:
(1) Make sure your multiple High-Definition devices connected with ZWD-2500T have already
powered on.
(2) Warming-up or source switching time should be approximately 15~20 seconds during the
normal operation.
(3) ZWD2500 remote control will not control your A/V components’ operation.
(4) Video from the YPbPr component source device appears but dim, press the 3/4 YPbPr button
repeatedly on the remote control to fine-tune the picture performance.
TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER LED indicator light details:
LED indicator status light on the front that indicates what’s happening..
Note:
(1) The Strength LED indicator shows whether a connection is active with the transmitter side.
During the normal operation, the Strength LED indicator will light in blue with 3 signal strength.
If there is no signal strength and blinking blue in Source & Status LED, the transmitter are most
likely out of range. You may verify the range and adjust the distance closer between transmitter
and your HDTV set with receiver. (The maximum video transmission range is 20 meters at line
of sight (LOS) scenarios and 10 meters beyond line of sight.)

A. If the range is over the maximum transmission distance.
B. Either transmitter or receiver has been switched off.
(4) If the SOURCE LED continues to blink blue (slower than no signal mode) and there is
no/abnormal video displayed, this is an indication that video format from your A/V source device
is not supported or out of range.
