Setting Up IR Control
MyWirelessTV comes with an IR Blaster and IR Receiver, which work
together to allow you to control the source device from the location you
are watching, whether it’s in the next room or on the other side of the
house. For example, if your Blu-ray player is in the living room, and
you’ve set up MyWirelessTV to watch on an HDTV in the bedroom, the
IR Blaster/Receiver allows you to control the Blu-ray player from your
bedroom.
Note: If you are using MyWirelessTV in the same location (i.e., the source
device and the HDTV monitor are in the same room), the IR Blaster/
Receiver is not needed.

back of the Receiver.
3. Remove the protective covering of the double-stick tape and attach the
at end of the IR Receiver cable to the front corner of the HDTV
monitor’s bezel or frame
Connecting the IR Blaster Cable
e IR Blaster cable receives the source device remote control signal from
the Receiver and delivers it to the source device.
1. Get the IR Blaster cable (it has a black connector) from the
MyWirelessTV kit.
2. Plug the black connector of the IR Blaster cable into the IR Transmit
port on the back of the Transmitter.

Troubleshooting
is chapter will describe some problems you may encounter using
MyWirelessTV, and the possible solutions to those problems. Also
included are frequently asked questions, and the answers the questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I see anything on the TV next to the Transmitter?
Check the cable connection from the external source (i.e., cable/
satellite set top box, Blu-ray player) to the Transmitter and from the
Transmitter out to the HDTV.
Why can’t I see anything on the TV, even though all the
cables are connected properly?
Make sure the external source device is powered on and the correct
source input is selected on your HDTV.
Why can’t I see anything on the TV next to the Receiver?
Check the cable connection from the MyWirelessTV Receiver out to
the HDTV. Also, make sure the correct source input is selected.
Why can’t I control my external source device from my
second HDTV?
Make sure the IR Blaster sensor is pointed directly to the external
source device’s IR sensor window. Also, check that the Receiver or the
IR Extender cable is in line-of-sight of the remote control.
Page 31
MyWirelessTV User Manual
Why can’t I change my channel or volume with the
MyWirelessTV remote control?
e remote control is intended only for switching inputs, pairing
congurations, and soware updates. Use the HDTV remote control
for changing channels or adjusting volume.
Why don’t I see any video when I connect my HDMI PC or
laptop computer to MyWirelessTV?
Make sure the HDMI output display is selected from your PC or laptop.
If needed, refer to your PC or laptop’s user manual for more
information.
Why is the video quality so poor?
To improve video quality, try adjusting the orientation of the
Transmitter and/or Receiver. Use the Wireless Power Indicator (in the
MyWirelessTV’s GUI, go to Advanced Settings, then System
Information) to see what orientation works best for your situation.
Why aren’t my remote keyboard and mouse working when I
connect MyWirelessTV to my computer?
Check your cable connections. Make sure you have a USB 2.0 A to
Mini-B cable connected between your Transmitter and your computer’s
USB port.
Why am I not seeing video from my Motorola cable set top
box after seeing an HDCP warning message on my HDTV?
As of October 1, 2011, some Motorola cable set top boxes are known to
have video authentication issues with certain video devices. Check with
your cable service provider to see if a soware update is available for
your cable set top box.
30
Page 32
MyWirelessTV User Manual
I have my MyWirelessTV Receiver and Transmitter in the
same room. Why does my source device accept the
command from the remote control twice?
To prevent the source device from getting the IR command twice,
connect your IR Extender cable to the Receiver and hide the IR sensor
from direct line-of-sight.
What is the remote control used for?
e MyWirelessTV remote control is used to congure dierent setups,
such as connecting two Transmitters to a single Receiver. Also, you can
access the MyWirelessTV’s graphical user interface to change system
settings. See the “Remote Control” section of the “Using the
