Getting your Wireless TV Link ready

Setting up the Wireless TV Link SBC VL1400

1 Set up transmitter and receiver unit of the Wireless TV Link as described in the instructions for use that came with the set.

Make sure both units are set to the same channel.

2 Switch on the transmitter unit.

You can now setup and test the additional receiver.

Setting up the receiver unit

1 Set the Transmission channel switch (B-23) to the same channel as the transmitter.

2 Position the additional receiver unit close to TV3.

Ensure that the front of the receiver unit is positioned to receive remote control commands.

3 Connect SCART cable from receiver unit to TV3.

4 Connect the power adapter to receiver unit.

5 Plug the power adapter of the additional receiver into mains socket.

Checking the remote control operation

1 Switch on TV3 and the receiver unit.

Make sure your transmitter is also switched 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 the additional receiver unit (B-28).

The power light on the transmitter unit should now flash when a remote control command is given at the receiver side. If the VL1400 Wireless TV link was working correctly before you installed the additional VL1405 Receiver the video source should response.

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 in the instructions for use of the VL1400 Wireless TV link.

2 Press the power button (B-19) to switch on the receiver unit.

When the receiver unit is switched on, the transmitter unit switches on automatically and TV3 displays the signal on its SCART input.

3 Press the - or + buttons (B-22) on the receiver unit to select the video source to be displayed.

The selection cycle is SCART input 1 > 2 > 3 > 4

4 Aim the remote control at the receiver unit to control the video source.

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 .
• 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 transmitter unit can support the channel downloading feature (also known as 'Follow-TV', 'Easylink', 'SmartLink', 'AV-Link', 'MEGALogic', 'TV-Link' or 'Q-Link') of high-end TVs and VCRs. Fully wired SCART cables that support this feature must be used.
• 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.
