Introduction
This guide should help you in setting up the X10 Video Sender with a DVR.
Setup
Unpack these items.
Connect the wireless video receiver to power and plug it into a wall outlet.
Connect the video receiver to your second TV, the one where you want to view your DVR recordings.
Connect the video transmitter to the secondary output connection on your DVR, plug it into power, and turn it on.
Select your TV's video input just like you would for your DVR. Your DVR screen should appear.
Adjust the antennas on the transmitter and receiver to improve the picture on your TV. Point the sides marked with 4 squares toward each other.
Alternate Receiver Setup: Coaxial Connection
If your TV does not have RCA audio/video inputs, or if they are already in use, you can connect the Video Receiver to your TV using the coaxial connection. Instead of following Step 3 (above), do the following:
- Find the included coaxial cable.
- Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the coaxial input on your TV. It might be labeled "coax," "cable," or even "antenna."
- Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the output on the Video Receiver.
- Plug the Video Receiver into power, and make sure the power switch on its left side is turned on.
- Use the TV CHANNEL switch on the bottom of the Video Receiver to select the channel on which to display video from the Video Receiver--Channel 3 or Channel 4.
To view the Video Sender transmission, change the channel on your TV to the one selected above.
