1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek Powermid XS. Using this device, you can continue to operate your A/V equipment with your own remote control, even when it is placed in a closed cupboard, at the other side of the room or even at the other side of the wall! The Powermid XSTM is suitable for use in any interior, due to its compact design.

3. INSTALLATION OF THE IR TRANSMITTER

See figure 1.

1. Insert the supplied power adapter into the power socket (230V-50Hz) and insert the power plug into the DC input [E] at the backside of the IR transmitter. Use strictly the supplied adapter!

2. Place the IR transmitter at a maximum distance of 6 meters from the AV equipment (DVD player, decoder, video, stereo, etc.) that you want to operate. Point the front side (with the Marmitek logo) of the IR transmitter at the AV equipment.

Figure 1

Beware: It is important for the proper function of the system that the antenna wire [G] stays free and does not get covered by the metal casing of e.g. A/V equipment.

4. INSTALLATION OF THE IR RECEIVER

See figure 3 and 4.

1. Open the IR receiver by sliding down the cover at the backside.
2. Place the 2 additionally supplied AAA 1.5V batteries into the IR receiver. Be careful about the polarity (+/-) . This is indicated at the inside of the IR receiver. Use strictly non-rechargeable (Alkaline) batteries. Slide the cover back onto the IR receiver.
3. Place the IR receiver within the range of your remote control (maximum 6 meters). Make sure that the front side (with the Marmitek logo) is facing you.

The IR receiver can be moved freely due to the wireless technology. However, it is important to place it within the sight and range of your remote control. Experiment with its position for the best result.

5. USAGE

1. Make sure that the A/V equipment is switched on.
2. Point your remote control at the Powermid XS IR receiver. The IR receiver receives the infrared signal, transforms it into an RF signal and transmits it to the Powermid XS IR Transmitter. The IR Transmitter then transforms this signal again into an infrared signal, which is transmitted to your DVD-player, decoder, video, stereo-equipment, etc. When you want to operate your equipment from several rooms, you can make use of several additional IR receivers (Art. no. 09773).

6. INSTALLATION OF THE OPTIONAL IR EXTENDER CABLE (IR EYE)

When you can't place the IR transmitter within the sight of your A/V equipment (because it is in a closed cupboard, for example), then you can place the IR transmitter next to or on your A/V equipment with the use of an additional IR Eye (Art. no. 09682).

1. Connect the IR extender cable to the output [F] at the backside of the IR transmitter (see figure 1).
2. Remove the protection foil from one of the IR LEDs. Place this IR LED on the IR window of the A/V equipment that you want to operate. Don't press it down too much yet. It is recommended that you check the function of the IR LED before its definite attachment. Point your original remote control at the sensor on the front side of the IR receiver, and choose a few channels, for example. When the A/V equipment does not respond, it may be so that the IR LED has not been attached at the right position. In case of some devices, the positioning is critical. You can use the second IR LED to operate a second A/V device. Never remove the IR LED, even if you don't use it!

7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I can't operate the A/V equipment via the Powermid XS.

Consider the following instructions:

• Use strictly new (full) non-rechargeable alkaline AAA type batteries for your IR receiver.

• Check if the light of the IR receiver lights up when you use the remote control.

• Is your IR transmitter within the range of your AV equipment?

• Shifting the IR receiver or the IR transmitter often solves the problem. Even 30~cm to the left or to the right can make much difference.
• Change the position of the antenna wire [G], experiment with it for the best result.
• The IR Receiver does not work together with some AV apparatus and models which use a higher IR frequency like for instance Bang&Olufsen (B&O).

I'm having problems operating the A/V equipment in combination with the optional IR Eye:

Consider the following instructions:

• Do the IR LEDs light up when you press a button of the remote control?
• Is the IR Eye correctly connected to the IR transmitter?
• Is the IR LED correctly attached to the IR window of your AV equipment?

Is it possible to use several IR receivers with each other?

Yes, they will all send signals to the IR transmitter.

Is it possible to use several IR transmitters with each other?

Yes, however, the IR transmitters will all transmit the same IR signal, which is received by the IR receiver.
