2. Introduction
BV-2500T and BV-2500R wireless video
transmission solution allows users to place your
HDTV set or projector where you want- just
connect your HDTV set and BV-2500R by HDMI
cable. Any display like LCD, PDP or computer
monitor with HDMI input connector
applicable to our BV-2500R.
Connect the BV-2500T to your multiple
High-Definition devices such as Cable/Satellite
Box, HD Set-Top Box, Blu-Ray DVD Player, Game
Console, and Media Center PC hidden in your
cabinet behind your seating area. It reserves
clean space around the perimeter of your TV set
in your living room and solves the cluttered
cables connection problem. You may also place
the transmitter BV-2500T and source AV
component near HDTV set.
This solution delivers uncompressed 1080P
@24/30 Hz True Cinema video content to your
existing HDTV set wirelessly. It operates the
transmission in 4.9 GHz~ 5.9 GHz frequencies
that can adjust its frequency automatically in case
of interference with another RF system. With
built-in Omni-directional antennas, it can
transmit uncompressed video content over 20
meters (LOS: Line of sight) whole-room range
with no latency.
Provided IR Sensor Extender Cable and IR
Blaster Extender Cable in the package allows
users to point the existing remote control of
are
source components at BV-2500R directly for
device operation. (These devices with
Transmitter connection may be placed in a
closet or separate room.)

3. Installation
Step1: Multiple Devices Connection
with BV-2500T:
(1) Connect the BV-2500 TRANSMITTER’s
“HDMI IN” to the High-Definition device’s
“HDMI OUT” by HDMI cable (included).
The BV-2500 has two HDMI inputs for
newest High-Definition devices connection,
like PS3, Blu-ray Player.
(2) Connect a set of RCA cables (green, blue,
red-colored cables) between the Y/Pb/Pr IN
connectors of the BV-2500T and
corresponding COMPONENT (Y/Pb/Pr
OUT) connectors on your High-Definition
devices.
(3) Use Audio Cables to connect between the
“AUDIO L/R IN” connectors of the
BV-2500T and the corresponding “AUDIO
L/R OUT” connectors on your
High-Definition devices. (AUDIO L
connection cable is the one with white
color and AUDIO R connection cable is the
one with red color.)
Note: Transmitter has 4 source inputs which
means you can have 4 choices for video sources
such as DVD, cable STB, PS3 and media center.
Only one source can be selected and played, so
you need to cycle transmitter to the one desired
video source.
(4) Connect the supplied power adapter
between the DC IN jack of the BV-2500T
and a mains socket. The LED indicator in
the POWER button lights up in solid red
when the BV-2500T is connected to the
power mains .
Note: The AV components are not
included in BV-2500 package.

Page 10
Step2: HDTV set Connection with
BV-2500R:
(1) Connect the HDMI cable between the
HDMI OUT jack of the BV-2500R and your
HDTV set.
Press the SOURCE/INPUT button on
your TV’s remote to select “HDMI” video
mode.
(2) Attach one side of the provided Velcro
(fastening tapes) to the receiver back cover.
Then use Velcro of another side to attach
the receiver directly to the wall next to the
HDTV set.
(3) Connect the supplied power adapter
between the DC IN jack of the BV-2500R
and a mains socket.

Page 11
Step3: If necessary, connect the
Infrared (IR) Blaster & Sensor. Users
can point hand-held remote control of
your High Definition device at
BV-2500R or HDTV set directly for
source device’s operation at
Line-of-sight (20 meters transmission
distance).
(1)Plug the IR Blaster cable into the IR
OUT jack of the BV-2500T.
Place the IR blaster head in the IR senor
of your High-Definition video devices
nearby.
The infrared (IR) sensor is on the front of
your High Definition device, usually
behind a dark, sometimes reddish plastic
window.
When the IR blaster cable is connected, it
relays infrared command from your
remote to the various device components.
Users can control AV device with
transmitter connection using existing
remote control directly.
(2) If your connected device will be out of the
direct line of sight of your remote
controls, plug the IR Sensor Extender
cable into the IR IN jack at the rear panel
of the receiver.
Note:
(1) The remote control of BV-2500 can only
switch between inputs of BV-2500. It does
not switch the inputs of your HDTV set or
projector.
(2) IR blaster only supports 38K (NEC) and
36K (RC5, RC6) remote’s signal protocol.
Some device may not be supported.
10
Page 12
Step 4: Power on your BV-2500T and BV-2500R
(1) Place the two AAA batteries into the remote control.
(2) If users already plugged the power cord, the power or BV-2500 will be turned on automatically.
If it’s under Standby mode (The POWER LED shows red), press the TRANSMITTER and
RECEIVER POWER button to turn on the BV-2500T and BV-2500R.
(3) During warm-up, the POWER LED will blink blue until the signal link between BV-2500T and
BV-2500R is established.
11
Page 13
(4) Ensure your LCD TV set or projector is set to HDMI input mode and already powered on.
(5) Press the Source 1HDMI 2HDMI 3YPbPr 4YPbPr button, until you see the available video
from your device.
(6) If you have some electronic devices like cordless phone, wireless access point/ router used with
5GHz channel frequency near the BV-2500, you may experience no/noise picture or diminished
sound quality. Press the CHANNEL button three seconds to adjust to an appropriate channel for
BV-2500.
