INTRODUCTION
FCC CAUTION
Your Wireless Big Picture VGA Video Sender kit consists of a Sender
base unit which connects to the audio out jack and the VGA output
on your PC, and a Receiver unit which you connect to your TV. The
Sender converts the audio signal from your PC's sound card, and the
VGA video from your PC's video card into a radio frequency (RF)
signal and transmits it (even through walls) to the Receiver unit. The
Receiver converts the signals back to their original form and passes
them to your TV.

BEFORE YOU START
Before you start installing your Big Picture System it is recommended
that you read this entire owner's manual. This will familiarize you
with the basic hardware installation. Then install the hardware. You
will then be able to see a picture from your PC on our TV screen. You
can then visit www.x10.com/software and download the "Boom"
program there, which will give you control over what is sent from
your PC to your TV.
CONNECTING UP
HOOKING UP THE VGA SENDER
1. Connect the jack on the audio cable (supplied) to the audio out
jack on your PC sound card.
2. Connect the red RCA plug to the socket labelled AUDIO RIGHT
and the white RCA plug to the jack labeled AUDIO LEFT on the
VGA Video Sender.
3. Connect the VGA cables as show below so that the VGA out from
your PC connects to the VGA input on the VT36A and then also
passes to the VGA input on your monitor.
4. Connect the serial port connector to your PC's serial port.
5. Set the channel switch (on the TOP of the unit) to channel A (to the
RIGHT).
6. Plug the VGA Video Sender's Power Supply (the smaller of the
two power supplies) into a convenient 120 volt wall outlet and
plug its jack into the VGA Video Sender.
7. Position the VGA Video Sender in a convenient location and
orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction of the
room where you will be installing the Video Receiver.

power supplies) into a 120 volt wall outlet and plug its jack into
the Video Receiver.
3. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on
top of the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in
the direction of the room where you set up the Video Sender.
IF
YOUR
TV
DOES NOT HAVE
You can use the supplied
coaxial cable to connect the
TV OUT socket on the Video
Receiver to the Antenna
input on your TV. If you
already have an antenna

will need to use a TV
antenna splitter.
Set your TV and the TV

FINE TUNING YOUR SYSTEM
The Wireless VGA Video Sender usually works best with the flat faces
of the antennas on the Sender and Receiver units facing each other
(see diagram below). Sometimes, however, reflections and other
effects in your home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of
either the Sender or Receiver antenna might be necessary to get the
best the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF
YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANY AUDIO OR VIDEO AT ALL FROM THE
VR30A
• Check that the CHANNEL slide switch (labeled A, B, C, D) on both
units is set to the same letter.
• Check that both the transmitter and receiver's power supplies are
plugged in. Check that the ON/OFF switch on the transmitter and
receiver are ON.
IF
THE SOUND OR VIDEO IS POOR, OR THERE IS INTERFERENCE
• Try changing the channel on both units. Do this by adjusting the
CHANNEL slide switch on each unit to any position (A, B, C, or
D).
• Make sure both units are set to the same letter. Try repositioning
the antenna on each unit.
