2. INTRODUCTION

The VideoLink ADVANCED enables you to transmit a video signal from your VCR, Satellite receiver, Cable box, DVD-player, DVD-recorder, Satellite receiver, set top box, PC etc. to a (second) TV without running wires. The transmitter sends an Audio/Video signal from 2 different sources to the receiver via 5.8GHz radio frequency signals. The receiver converts the radio signal back into an A/V signal. The receiver also converts the infrared signals sent by the remote control of the A/V source into radio frequency signals. The transmitter will then reconvert these signals into infrared signals in order to control the connected A/V devices. Using the 5.8GHz frequency, you will normally have no problems with distortion from wireless (WiFi) networks, Cordless phones and microwave for example.

5. SETTING UP THE TRANSMITTER

See figure 7 on page 7.

The transmitter can be connected to two A/V devices and a local television set.

1. Connect the RCA/RCA cable to the 'A/V IN 1' or the Mini-DIN/RCA cable on the 'A/V IN 2' of the transmitter.

2. Connect the RCA plugs of this cable to the A/V device you want to transmit the signal from. Make sure the colours of the plugs and the input connectors match. If the A/V device is equipped with a SCART connector you can also connect the transmitter using the SCART adapter labelled 'TRANSMITTER'.

3. In order to also connect the A/V device to 'TV1' (your local TV), insert a Mini -DIN/RCA cable between the 'AV OUT' of the transmitter and your 'TV1'. If this TV is equipped with a SCART connector you can also connect the transmitter using the included SCART adapter labelled 'AV OUT'.
4. Set to channel selector (A-B-C-D) to A.
5. Insert the plug of one of the power adapters in the 'DC in' on the back of the transmitter and plug the power adapter included into a wall socket (230V-50Hz). Only use the adapter provided!
6. Turn the On/Off switch to 'ON'.
7. Place the transmitter in an easy accessible spot with enough space around it. Aim the inside of the dish antenna at the location of the receiver.
8. Put the side antenna in an upright position.
9. When you want to connect a second A/V device, please repeat steps 1 to 3, and then turn the On/Off switch to 'ON' again.

Video signal and S-VIDEO signal

It is not possible to connect a A/V device via S-VIDEO. When you have a A/V device which only has S-VIDEO output, (a S-VIDEO connection is a small round mini DIN plug with 4 pins) you can use a S-VIDEO to Composite video adapter (product code: SVHS-CV).

6. SETTING UP THE RECEIVER.

See figure 8 on page 7.

1. Connect the Mini-DIN/RCA cable to the outputs at the back of the receiver.
2. Plug the other end of this cable into the A/V input of TV2. Make sure the colours of the plugs and the input connectors match. If the TV is equipped with a SCART connector then you can also connect the transmitter using the included SCART adapter labelled 'RECEIVER'. When your TV does not have a SCART connection, you can also connect the receiver to your TV via an antenna cable. To do this, connect the VIDEOLINK to your TV via the RF output and set the TV to channel 36.
3. Insert the power adapter plug into the DC input on the back of the receiver and plug the power adapter into a wall socket (230V-50Hz). Only use the adapter provided!
4. Turn the On/Off switch to 'ON'.
5. Set the channel selector (A-B-C-D) to A.
6. Place the receiver in an easy accessible spot with enough space around it, e.g. on top of the TV. Point the inside of the dish antenna at the location of the transmitter.
7. Put the side antenna in an upright position.

7. SETTING UP THE IR EXTENDER FEATURE.

See figure 7 on page 7.

1. Connect the IR Extender included to the input at the back of the transmitter.
2. Remove the protective label of one of the IR emitters. Place this IR emitter on the IR window of the A/V device you want to control. Fix the emitter very lightly. Before fixing the IR emitter firmly you are advised to check if the extender works properly. Therefore point your own remote at the window on the front of the receiver and press some of the channel choose buttons. If the channel does not change, the IR emitter may not be fixed in the right position.

The position is sometimes critical. Repeat this procedure when fixing the 2nd IR emitter to the other A/V device connected.

1. You can use the third IR to control a third A/V device. If you are not using this IR emitter, do not remove it!

8. FINE TUNING THE VIDEOLINK SET.

Make sure your A/V equipment is switched on.

When the receiver on your TV is connected with RCA plugs and/or a SCART adapter:

Switch the TV, to which you have connected the receiver, over to the TV channel, which belongs to the A/V input, on which you have connected the receiver. In case of most appliances, you do that by pressing the 0 or A/V button. You will now have an image directly. The TV will never have to look for channels for the connection via 'A/V IN'.

When the receiver on your TV is connected to the RF output:

Switch the TV, to which you have connected the receiver, over to TV channel 36. The wireless VIDEOLINK usually works best with the flat faces of the antennas on the Transmitter and Receiver unit look at one another. Sometimes however distance, reflections and other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either Transmitter or Receiver antenna may be necessary to get the best signal. If still experiencing difficulty, try changing the "ABCD" channel selector and change channels. Remember though both the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel. The maximum distance between transmitter and receiver depends on local environmental conditions, but on average the distance is up to 30m , through walls and floors.

9. HOW TO CONNECT THE VIDEOLINK TO A PC.

The VIDEOLINK has to be connected to the 'TV-out' or 'Video-out' of a PC. The connection can usually be found on the graphics card. The signal needs to be a so-called 'composite video signal'. This is also called 'CVBS'. Connecting to a PC can be done with RCA/RCA on A/V1 as well as RCA/mini-DIN on A/V2.

The connector of your graphics card will most likely look as follows:

Yellow RCA connector (RCA PHONO Yellow)

If your PC is fitted with this connector, the yellow plug of the RCA cable included can be directly connected to the yellow RCA connector of your transmitter.

DIN-plug (S-VIDEO)

If your graphics card is fitted with the S-VIDEO-connector you cannot directly connect the transmitter to your PC but need an adapter. This adapter 'converts' your S-VIDEO signal into a composite video signal. This adapter is usually supplied with the graphics card (or PC) with TV-out. This standard adapter does not fit on all PCs. In that case, please contact the supplier of the graphics card. To use the TV-out some settings in the graphics card menu need to be changed. This is different for each PC and operating system, but usually the correct mode needs to be selected. Select 'composite', 'CVBS' or 'PAL-G'. More information can usually be found in the PC manual or graphics card manual. Because there are so many different types of graphics cards, we cannot offer any support.

AUDIO

To transmit sound, you can use the audio out on the sound card of your PC. Please use an adapter to convert the 3.5mm plug to a double RCA connection.

10. USING THE VIDEOLINK SET.

1. Make sure your A/V device is switched on.
2. Switch the receiving TV over to the TV transmitter going with the A/V input you plugged the receiver into. Normally done by using the 0 or A/V button. The picture should now automatically be there. No tuning is required. When you make use of the modulator, it should be done in channel 36.
3. Then you can control your A/V device with your own remote control by pointing it at the IR window of the receiver or the IR window of your A/V device. The source can also be switched by keeping the source button at the rear side of the receiver pressed for about 5 seconds. You can switch sources at 'TV 1' (where the transmitter is connected), by setting the SOURCE button (at the rear side of the transmitter) in the right position, so the device switches over.
4. Two external A/V devices can be connected to the transmitter.

Selecting the source:

Using 'TV2' (connected to the receiver), you can change sources by pressing any button of a remote control for at least 5 seconds (e.g. of your TV or A/V device). Independent of the signal on 'TV1' you can select a signal for 'TV2'.

11. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

No signal.

• Check that the units are connected to mains and that the Power-switch is in the ON position
• Check that both units in the 'ON' position.
• Check if the receiving TV is on the correct A/V channel. Raise the small silver side antenna to an upright position.

Signal received is poor.

• Try another channel (A, B, C or D; the channel settings has to match on both units).
• Move transmitter and/or receiver from the immediate vicinity of the connected A/V devices. These may affect the range.
• You are (almost) out of range.
• Moving the position of the transmitter and/ or receiver a few centimetres may rectify the problem.

Images and sound are perfect, but the infra-red return signal does not work.

Check the following:

• Depending on the local situation the 5.8GHz A/V signal can reach further than the 433MHz signal of the IR receiver. Try again with shorter distances.
• Has the IR emitter been properly connected to the transmitter?
• Has the IR emitter been properly fixed on the IR window of your A/V device?

Do get images but no sound.

• The VIDEOLINK can send analogue stereo signals, such as e.g. Dolby Surround. Digital systems such as Dolby 5.1 or Dolby Digital cannot be transmitted.
• You have connected an S-VIDEO (Mini-DIN) signal to the transmitter directly with an S-VIDEO cable. This is not possible. You need to use the cables included and connect them to the SCART or RCA output of your A/V device.

Does the VideOLINK cause a conflict with my wireless network (WLAN)?

No, WiFi makes use of the 2.4GHz frequency band. The VIDEOLINK makes use of the 5.8GHz frequency band. In cases where a 2.4GHz video transmitter experiences distortion from a WiFi network, for example, then the VIDEOLINK can be the right solution

Can I combine multiple receivers?

Yes. However, the signal will be the same on all receivers.

Can I combine multiple transmitters?

You can use a maximum of 4 transmitters with one or more receivers. You can use 4 different channels. The infrared return channel cannot be set separately and will work with the entire system. Transmitters and receivers of VIDEOLINK are not compatible with transmitters and receivers that operate on a 2.4GHz frequency band.
