4. Multi-Room IR Control: Covered under Multi-Room
Stereo in section 9.6, the same IR Target and Emitter
package is used to distribute remote-control com-
mands from the remote viewing location (such as a
master bedroom) back to the source A/V component
(usually in the entertainment center). Note that the IR
Emitters attach directly to the source A/V compo-
nent; the Desktop Stereo Modulator is not part of the
remote “switching” function but simply provides dis-
tribution of the A/V signal over the home’s coaxial ca-
bling infrastructure.
9.10.1 Installing Multi-Room Video
Note: If installing both the Multi-Room Video and the
Home Monitoring Security Camera options, you must
assign separate channels between 75-80 for each ap-
plication. To avoid bleedover between channels, it is
recommended you leave at least one adjacent unused
channel between each channel used. If the Multi-Room
Video “entertainment channel” is Channel 77, use
Channel 79 for the Home Monitoring “security channel.”
Your Multi-Room Video package starts at the SMC with
the 3X8 Bi-Directional Video Module, RF Notch Filter
and Multi-Room IR Control that were referred to in the
previous sections. Be sure that they are installed prop-
erly and operating correctly before you begin installing
the other components.
Install the remaining components in this order:
5. Install the Desktop Stereo Modulator at the source
A/V component. Run an RCA “audio/video”—type
3-way patchcord from the source components
VIDEO OUT (yellow), LEFT AUDIO OUT (can be
black, white or grey) and RIGHT AUDIO OUT (usu-
ally red). Note: if you are using an A/V receiver as
the source component, make sure you use the cor-
rect LINE OUT orAUX OUT jacks on the rear (consult
the receiver’s owners’ manual). Using an A/V re-
ceiver has the advantage of enabling switching be-
tween multiple components plugged-into it including
DVD players, VCR’s, CD players, etc. Plug the other
end of the RCA cable into the Desktop Stereo
Modulator’s rear panel to the corresponding VIDEO
IN, AUDIO IN/RIGHT and AUDIO IN/LEFT.
6. Using the supplied AC Power adapter only
, plug the
Desktop Stereo Modulator into an AC outlet or into the
SWITCHED accessory outlet on the back of the source
component (such as an A/V surround receiver).
7. Connect the Desktop Stereo Modulator’s RF OUT-
PUT to a terminated length of RG-6 Quad-Shield
coaxial cable, and connect the other end to an un-
used QuickPort F connector already home-run back
to the SMC.
8. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable in the
SMC to one of the two AUX inputs on the 3x8 Bi-
Directional Video Module’s (AUX IN 1 or 2). Make
sure the RF Notch Filter is already installed as out-
lined in Section 9.8.8/Network Monitoring.
9. Prepare the Desktop Stereo Modulator by program-
ming its channel. This is a simple procedure and
uses the small pushbutton on the front panel. Here’s
an example using Channel 77: First, select a mode
by pressing both UP and DOWN buttons simultane-
ously for seven seconds. This will change the mode
and allow you to choose a new one. The new mode
will display (CA for CATV, or UH for UHF). Choose
mode CA. The channel will devert to the default
