CHAPTER 3: CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Using quality HDMI cables, connect an HDMI source (such as Blu-ray, games console, satellite/cable TV, media server etc.)
to the HDMI IN port of the transmitter.
2. Connect a good quality, well-terminated fiber cable between the OPTICAL OUT port of the transmitter to the OPTICAL IN port
of the receiver.
3. Connect the HDMI display device (LED/LCD display or projector) to the HDMI OUT port of the receiver.
4. For two-way IR control of connected sources and displays from either location, first, connect IR Emitters to the IR OUT ports
of the transmitter and receiver, and then insert IR Receivers into the IR IN ports of the transmitter and receiver.
5. Connect the included 12-V power supplies to the transmitter and receiver.
Check that Power, Status, and HDCP and Link lights are illuminated on both units to indicate successful connection, with a lit
HDCP light illustrating the presence of encryption within the signal. Power and Link are static lights. Status should be blinking.
3.2 IR PASSTHROUGH
The IR passthrough function allows you to control the source from the display location or control the display from the source location.
For example, you can control the DVD at the TV side. First, switch the DIP switch to IR mode, then connect the IR emitter cable
to the IR OUT port on the transmitter. Connect the IR IN port on the receiver to a broadband IR receiver. You can control the DVD player
from the TV location with the DVD remote.
