USER MANUAL SBCVL1400 PHILIPS

The Philips Wireless TV Link allows you to distribute any kind of video signal (digital or analogue set-top boxes, DVDs, satellite receivers, VCRs etc.) or cable programmes throughout your house without the need for extra wiring, running cables or drilling holes. This means that you can enjoy the freedom of watching Pay-TV on your bedroom TV. You can also enjoy a film playing on your living-room video recorder while others independently watch their favourite programmes on the main TV.

Besides distributing video signals wirelessly, the Wireless TV Link also functions as a switch box for your main TV. It is equipped with four SCART input connectors. These allow you to connect up to four video devices at the same time, so cable swapping or re-configuring your audio/video set-up is no longer necessary. In addition, three of the SCART inputs can be linked to the fourth one, which makes copying your video content very simple.

The universal remote control allows you to control the Wireless TV Link, your second TV and up to four video sources, regardless of brand. You don't have to carry around the other remote control units!

The Wireless TV Link is based on wireless RF technology that offers you in-home convenience. To enable you to enjoy the best possible performance, four transmission channels are provided so you can select the channel that provides optimum viewing with the minimum of interference.

Pure wireless home convenience!

Important information
	Each video source, the main TV and the second TV must have SCART connectors. Two SCART cables are supplied; you will require additional SCART cables for the video sources you connect. A video source can be any satellite receiver, Pay-TV decoder box (digital or analogue), video recorder (VCR), DVD player, camcorder, game console etc. Before using the Universal Remote Control it must be set up to operate with your other equipment. Refer to its instructions for use to discover the full potential of this versatile unit. In this guide we call the main TV (connected to the transmitter unit) TV1; we call the second TV (connected to the receiver unit) TV2. It may be helpful to have the instructions for use for the TVs and the video sources at hand for reference.

Getting your Wireless TV Link ready

Setting up the transmitter unit

1 Set channel selection switch to channel I. Always set transmitter and receiver units to the same channel.

2 Position transmitter unit on top of video sources with the front panels aligned vertically. Never put video sources or metal plates on top of the transmitter unit.
3 Connect SCART cables from video sources to transmitter unit SCART inputs.
4 Connect SCART cable from transmitter unit output to TVI.
5 Connect power adapter to transmitter unit.
6 Plug power adapter into mains socket.

Setting up the receiver unit

1 Set channel selection switch to channel I. Always set transmitter and receiver units to the same channel.
2 Position the receiver unit close to TV2. Ensure that the front of the receiver unit is positioned to receive remote control commands.
3 Connect SCART cable from receiver unit to TV2.
4 Connect second power adapter to receiver unit.
5 Plug second power adapter into mains socket.

PHILIP

Checking the remote control operation

1 Switch on TV2 and the receiver unit.

Make sure your transmitter is also turned on.

2 Point the video source's remote control unit at the receiver unit and switch between play and stop.

The power light (B-19) on the receiver unit flashes to show that it has received the remote control command.

3 Have a second person check that the power light (A-1) on the transmitter unit flashes.

This indicates that it is receiving the remote control signal from the receiver unit.

4 If the power light (A-1) does not flash, reposition the remote control antenna at the rear of either unit (A-18 or B-28).
The power light on the transmitter unit should now flash when a remote control command is given at the receiver side.
5 If the video source does not respond to the remote command, try realigning the front of the transmitter unit with the front of the video source until you get a response.
6 If the video source still fails to respond install the remote control blaster cord as described below.

Installing the remote control blaster cord

1 Switch off the transmitter unit.
2 Plug the blaster cord (A-15) into the IR socket (A-11) at the back of the transmitter unit.
3 Switch on both transmitter and receiver units.
4 Ask another person to press and hold a key of the video source's remote control while pointing it at the receiver unit.
5 While the other person is doing this, slowly move an IR light (a black block) along the front panel of the video source.

Do not let the distance between the IR light and the front panel exceed 1 cm. When the video source reacts to the command from the remote control, the correct position has been found. (Alternatively, locate the IR sensor by referring to the video source's instructions for use.)

6 Remove the adhesive tape from the back of the IR light and stick it onto the IR sensor window of the video source.
7 If necessary, repeat this procedure for the other video sources.

General notes

• Picture and sound quality is influenced by the use of microwave ovens. Other wireless systems (Bluetooth, wireless LANs, etc.) can also adversely influence the quality of picture and sound, and vice versa.
• The Wireless TV Link is a Radio Frequency (RF) based product. As such its performance can suffer the same kinds of interference as GSMs, portable radios and other RF-based products.
• If the same video source is selected for both TVs, then you get the same programme on each TV.
• The Wireless TV link is not limited to just one room or house. You can use it anywhere in or around the house. Consequently, anybody in the vicinity of your house (up to the maximum operating range) who also owns a Wireless TV link set to the same channel, can watch the same programmes that are playing on your video source.
• In order to prevent the mixing of remote control commands it is not advisable to use a TV as a video source.
• Some built-in VCRs (TV-VCR combination) cannot be used with the transmitter unit (depends on brand and type).
• Video sources cannot be controlled remotely if the carrier frequency of the IR signal is outside the operation window of 32kHz to 57kHz .
• The transmitter unit can support the channel downloading feature (also known as 'Follow-TV', 'Easylink', 'SmartLink', 'AV-Link', 'MEGALoic', 'TV-Link' or 'Q-Link') of high-end TVs and VCRs. Fully wired SCART cables that support this feature must be used.
• Radio wave safety: When switched on, the Philips Wireless TV Link transmits and receives radio waves. The Philips Wireless TV Link complies with the standards that are defined for it.
• The Philips Wireless TV Link has an operating range of up to 100 metres in open air. Walls, ceilings and other large objects may limit the useable operating range to about 30 metres in the house.
