Questions
How do I set up the remote control extender on my Video Sender?
Answer
- Make sure the Video Receiver is positioned so that you can point your remote at the LED on its front.
- Locate the IR receiver on the source device, the one the Video Sender is connected to with RCA cables. The easiest way to do this is to cover part of the case with your hand and push buttons on the remote. Move your hand around; when the remote does not work, then you know your hand is over the IR receiver.
- Connect the IR extender cable to the Sender and to the IR receiver spot.
- Point your remote control at the Video Receiver and push a button; confirm that the source device reacts as if you had pointed the remote directly at it instead of at the Sender.
If the device does not react, but the remote still works when pointed directly at the video source, try repositioning the IR extender cables. If this fails, hook the other pad on the IR extender to another device with a remote control nearby. If you can't control that either, your Video Receiver's IR extender may have an issue.
