Hardware Installation Step 1: Setup the Transmitter Connect up to 5 HD Audio/Video Source Devices and 1 HDTV to the transmitter 1. Connect the Transmitter Power Adapter to the DC IN jack on the Transmitter. 2. Connect the IR blaster cable. Please refer to Page 17, Step 3A for more detailed setup instructions. 3. Connect a source device with Component Video Out using the included Component Video Adapter. 4. Connect up to 4 HDMI source devices using HDMI cables (Ports 1-4). 5.
Step 2: Setup the Receiver 1. Connect the Receiver Power Adapter into the Mini USB power jack. 2. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT port on the Receiver to an HDMI IN port on the HDTV or HD Projector. 3. Connect the IR Sensor Extender cable to the IR IN port on the back of the Receiver. Please refer to Page 17, Step 3B for more detailed setup instructions.
Step 3: Setup the IR blaster extender cable and IR sensor extender cable The IR relays infrared commands from your remote control to your device. Users can control their A/V devices by pointing their remote control to the receiver or IR sensor extender cable. (IR distance from remote to receiver / IR sensor cable is 30 feet line of sight.) A: Transmitter 1. Plug the IR Blaster cable into the IR OUT jack on the transmitter. 2.
Step 4: Mounting the Receiver to a Wall (Optional) 1. Refer to the drawing at the right that has a relative position of the main holes that will be needed to be drilled into the wall. 2. Drill two ¼” pilot holes. 3. Insert the supplied two Anchors into the wall. If necessary, use a small hammer to lightly tap the anchors flush to the wall. 4. Insert two screws into the anchors.
