Step 3: Setup the IR blaster extender cable and IR sensor extender cable
The IR relays infrared commands from your remote control to your device. Users can control
their A / V devices by pointing their remote control to the receiver or IR sensor extender cable.
(IR distance from remote to receiver / IR sensor cable is 30 feet line of sight.)

A: Transmitter
1. Plug the IR Blaster cable into the IR OUT jack on the transmitter.
2. Apply the IR blaster head directly over the eye of the IR sensor on your HD audio / video
   device. This allows the remote controls to your devices to work from another room when
   using the wireless receiver.




              IR Blaster Extender cable               Blu-ray Player or DVR/Cable Box



Note: Transmitter and source devices connected to the Transmitter within the local location
must all be in line of site for IR control.


B: Receiver
1. Place the wireless receiver out of sight
   and use the IR sensor extender to control
   your devices with the remote control.
2. Plug the IR sensor extender cable into
   the IR IN jack on the receiver and place
   the sensor on the front of the TV for
   convenient operation.



Note: In some instances, the IR sensor on your source device may be difficult to find. To help
simplify this process, cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the front panel of your source
device and place a 1 inch hole in the middle of the cardboard. Power on your source device
and play a movie or other video content. Place the cardboard hold over the left side of the
source device and using the source device’s remote control directly over the cardboard hole,
press the pause button repetitively while gradually moving the cardboard hole from left to right
making sure to keep the remote control’s beam directly over the cardboard hole. Once the
source device recognizes the pause button being pressed, you have located the position of the
remote control IR sensor on the source device and that is where you will place the IR Blaster’s
sensor. The IR sensor supports 38KHz, 47KHz and 56KHz (NEC, RC5, RC6) remote signal
protocol.


                                                15


Step 4: Mounting the Receiver to a Wall (Optional)


1. Refer to the drawing at the right that has a
   relative position of the main holes that will
   be needed to be drilled into the wall.

2. Drill two ¼” pilot holes.




3. Insert the supplied two Anchors into
   the wall. If necessary, use a small
   hammer to lightly tap the anchors
   flush to the wall.




4. Insert two screws into the anchors.
   Leave ¼” length for mounting the
   Transmitter, 5/8” for the Receiver.




5. Place receiver main holes over the
   protruding screws and slide down into
   position




                                                   16

   mode simultaneously. You may also POWER OFF the transmitter with the remote control.

   Please note that the HDMI out on the transmitter will always be ON even when the
   transmitter is in standby mode.




3. Power ON all connected displays (i.e. TV, monitor, projector) and source devices (i.e. cable
   box, Blu-ray player, game console).




                                                17


4. During warm-up, the transmitter’s and the receiver’s wireless status LED will blink green
   until the signal link between the transmitter and the receiver is established. It will take
   approximately 15 ~ 20 seconds for system to fully boot-up successfully.

Notes:
A. If the RF connection boot-up has exceeded 80 seconds and still not established a link
   between the transmitter and receiver, it is due either to lost link or the transmitter is
   most likely out of range. You may have to verify the range and adjust or shorten the
   distance between your HDTV set with the transmitter and the receiver. The maximum
   video transmission range for 1080p content is up to 200 feet in line of sight (LOS). The
   minimum range is 6.5 feet.
B. Please make sure the source device has been powered ON and the signal output is set to
   HDMI out; also try to re-plug the HDMI cable to make sure the HDMI connector is seated
   properly.
C. If there is no video displayed and OSD display shows “Not Supported Format”, this is
   an indication that the video resolution or frame rate from the computer is not supported,
   please refer to page 20 to switch to a supported video resolution.
D. If you have more than one pair of this product, each transmitter and receiver should be at
   least 6.5 feet away from one another.

     • If user wants to display 3D video on HDTV which supported 3D video, please turn
        off the 2D HDTV and RE-power On the 3D HDTV. Then set the source player to 3D
        video format output for the 3D display.
     • Check the video output setting of Source player (ex. Blu-ray Disc, PS3..etc.). If the
        video output setting of Source player is 3D video format, it might produce a display
        on the HDTV which not supports 3D format.
     • 3D video format do not support on current equipments status. If user wants to
        display 3D video on HDTV which supported 3D video, please turn off 2D HDTV and
        RE-power on 3D HDTV. Then set the source player to 3D video format output for the
        3D display.
     • 3D video format do not support on current equipments status. Please switch the
        3D video format to HDMI 1.4a 3D format. Please check page 21 for a list of all
