CAUTIONS AND FEATURE LIST
FEATURES OF THE AMC MODEL TR1a
TM
* with Video on Demand and Broadcasting features.
* Wireless IEEE 802.11a 5 GHz WiFi configuration.
* Internal NTSC / PAL or SECAM / PAL dual band TV Tuner.
* Multiple audio and video inputs supported.
* Three external Video Inputs :
S VIDEO input: one S connector
AV1 input: Composite Video (three RCA Connectors - Video, L & R)
AV2 input: Composite Video (one 3.5mm Mini connector - Video, L & R)
* MPEG II video chip Encoder
* Video Scaler: 3D video image chip
* The receiving units must be within approximately 65 - 100 feet (20 - 30 meters) of
the TR1a to send and receive transmissions clearly. However, this distance will
vary, depending on the surroundings. At home, it is best to set up the base station in
a central location, allowing more even distribution of the wireless signal to all parts
of the house.

1. Connect the Cable TV or Broadcast TV Antenna to the "TV Tuner" connector on
rear side panel of TR1a
2. Connect source devices to "S VIDEO", "AV1" and "AV2" input connectors on rear
side panel of TR1a
S VIDEO
AV1
(DVD-1)
AV2 (Mini AV)
DVD-2
Use S-Video cable included in TR1a to connect your source device with S-Video
output to the S Video input connector of TR1a.
Use 3 RCA plug to 3 RCA plug Composite AV cable (Yellow for Video, White for
Audio-L, Red for Audio-R) included in TR1a to connect your source device like DVD
Player with Composite outputs to the AV1 inputs of TR1a.
Use 3 RCA plug to 3.5mm mini jack Composite AV Cable included in TR1a to
connect your source device like your 2nd DVD player with Composite outputs to the
AV2 input (3.5mm mini AV jack) of TR1a.
3. Connect to DC12V Power supply and LAN through Ethernet RJ-45. Connect
12VDC/ 1.0A Power Adaptor to DC12V input connector. The RJ-45 on TR1a is for
firmware updating. This function is an option for each special designed LAN as
each proprietary system.
4. You now can switch the OFF/ON slide switch to ON position and start to enjoy the
programs from the TR1a you just setup through receivers like AMC i-M15a,
computers or other corresponding receivers.
5. The power LED (LED2) should be lighted once the OFF/ON slide switch switched to
ON position

INSTALLING THE CORRESPONDING RECEIVERS LIKE i-M15a
(here we use i-M15a for the installing procedures )
1. Turn on TR1a power LED will be lighted
2. Turn i-M15a (or other corresponding receivers) battery power ON by pressing the
POWER (Battery Power) button on top of i-M15a for 5 seconds. Once i-M15a
battery power turning ON i-M15a will be under Standby mode. (If you have power
adaptor plugged into i-M15a, the i-M15a will be under Standby mode all the time.
3. Pressing ON/OFF button on top panel of i-M15a (or POWER button on Remote
Control handset) you will turn i-M15a from Standby(OFF) mode to ON.
4. You will see Power on screen once turning i-M15a ON for the 1st time. Then iM15a will scan for all available TR1a and indicated on the screen how many TR1a
exist. (" 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or .... Transmitter Exist . (Press / )" )
Remarks : When you change locations of TR1a's or i-M15a's, you should re-scan
the TR1a by pressing RESCAN button on Remote Control handset aiming at IR
receiver located besides i-M15a LED's on bottom of i-M15a front panel. Scanning
for TR1a takes around 25 ~ 40 seconds.
5. Press or button on top and bottom of "MENU" button, you will see a list of
available TR1a you can link your i-M15a to. The format of name of each available
TR1a is as following:
TR1-xxxxxx (xxxxxx is IP address of each TR1a you can find on the Barcode label
on the bottom of each TR1a. It is the last 6 digits of the number under the
barcode)
6. Use or button on top and bottom of "MENU" button you can select your
preferable TR1a you want to view the programs from. You then press ENTER on
remote control to confirm and link to the TR1a you selected.
7. You can start to enjoy programs from TR1a by using Remote Control handset
included with TR1a by selecting TV or AV1 or AV2 or S VIDEO four sources from
each TR1a.
8. If you want to select another TR1a for the i-M15a you are using, you can press
RESCAN button on Remote Control hand set and repeat above procedure to
make the choice.
9. When one i-M15a selected a TR1a and other i-M15a's want to connect to the
same TR1a, the other i-M15a's will be under LISTENING mode. And the TR1a will
be only controlled by the 1st i-M15a connected to it.

against voltage surgesand built up static charges.
Section 810 ofthe National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPANo.
70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure.
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm ) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm )
aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm ) copper-clad steel or
22
2
bronze wire, orlarger, as a ground wire.
b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with
stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m)
apart.
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as close aspossible to where
lead-in enters house.
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm )
copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-
grounding electrode isused. See NEC Section 810-21(j).
