used for an audio receiver. Note that if you use a separate receiver to listen to your TV you
can make the VOL+/- button always send volume commands to the AUX device instead of
directly to the TV by following the “Punch Through” procedure in “Setting Up the Remote”

Installing the SuperCombiner 8

Installation Overview

Easy as 1-2-3

Step 1 – Install SuperCombiner

The SuperCombiner is a device that is installed just before your main
home “root splitter” to distribute your new BOCS channels all over your
home. In this step you will:

Decide where to put your Xtender.
Plug a special Cable-Finder into the nearest CATV outlet.
Find and open your cable splitter box.
Find the coaxial wire that goes to the room where you put Xtender.
Install the SuperCombiner.

Step 2 – Install the Xtender Unit

Xtender is connected to the three devices you want to control (just like
hooking up a new DVD player).
Xtender is connected (using stick-on IR emitter cables) to each of those
same three devices so Xtender can control them.
Xtender is connected to power and the Coax wall jack.

Step 3 – Program the Remote Controls

By punching in a few codes, the remote controls are programmed so they
know how to control both local TVs as well as the devices plugged into
Xtender.

Setup should take no more than 20 minutes for a typical home

A Quick Start Guide is provided in the Xtender package with large pictures of the
entire installation.

Installing the SuperCombiner 10

Select Location for the Xtender

Minimum Location Requirements

• Coaxial cable outlet nearby

• AC power nearby

Likely Locations – Choose One:

• If you already have a stack of A/V equipment in one place (TiVo DVR, cable box,

satellite box, DVR, DVD jukebox etc.), you can put Xtender on top of that stack of
equipment.

• Or – you can move all that equipment to an out-of-the-way location (e.g. basement,

closet, or an office) as long as you have power and a coax cable jack there.

Power the Coax Wire

You will be installing the SuperCombiner, but the Xtender requires that the Xtender
have it’s own special connection to the SuperCombiner so the first step is to
determine which coax wire runs to the room where you decided to put the Xtender.
If you are in a new home and are really lucky, that wire will be labeled with the

d

r

l

room name in your cable splitter box. If not, we provide a tool in the installation kit
so you can find the right wire.

To find the right wire, we apply power to that coax wire so that an indicator light on
the other end can identify when the correct wire is found.

At the closest coax wire jack to the desired Xtender location, and unplug any cable
attached to it.

You are looking for the adapter that looks like this – it
comes with the optional installation kit.

Now, plug the power adapter that
came with your Xtender into the
cable finder adapter, and plug the
adapter into the wall outlet with a
piece of coax – you should now
have something that looks like
this…

Warning – do not plug the coax adapter into a satellite TV outlet or you may

damage your satellite TV system!!

Cable Finder Too

Short COAX Cable

Locate your cable box

This is usually found in the basement, garage or on the outside of your home and
will most likely look like one of the photos below:
Note that you might have both a telephone and a Cable-TV box and they
sometimes look alike.

Installing the SuperCombiner 11

Locate the Splitter

It will be in your cable box and will likely look like one of the following.

And it will have wires hooked into most or all of its connectors, so it might be
behind a cluttered mess.

Find the Powered Cable

The cable that was powered in the previous step should be connected to one of the
outputs of the splitter. To determine which cable has been powered, unplug the
cables one at a time and connect the Cable Finder Tool. If the red light doesn’t
illuminate plug it back into the splitter. When you find the cable that illuminates the

red light, you have found the cable running to Xtender.

The Cable Finder is a small light attached to a coax
connector – it comes with the optional installation kit.

You simply disconnect the cables one at a time and plug them into the cable-finder
tool – when you find the one that illuminates the light, you found the correct cable.

Wrong Cable!! Correct Cable!!

Note If you check all the cables connected to your splitter and none illuminates the

Cable-Finder light, see the troubleshooting guide.

Installing the SuperCombiner 12

Connecting the SuperCombiner

• Plug the cable you located with the Cable Finder Tool in the step above into the

Xtender port of the SuperCombiner.

• Unplug the IN cable from your current splitter and connect it to the RF IN on the

SuperCombiner.

• Connect a short coax wire between the OUT of the SuperCombiner and the IN of

your splitter.

Important When you are finished with the system installation, make sure to close the box

back up – especially if it is outside the home – you need to put everything back as
it was to reduce water/weather exposure to those connections.

Installing the SuperCombiner 13

Step 2 Installing the Xtender

Connect Xtender

Remove the coax adapter and connect a coax cable from the nearby coaxial wire
wall jack (usually located on a plastic plate mounted on a wall) to the “ANT IN” jack
on Xtender.

Make sure that you rotate the antenna so that it points straight up – this will give
you the best range with your wireless remotes.

Connect the Audio/Video devices to the Xtender

Important Place Xtender on the top of your equipment stack, because any equipment placed

on top of the Xtender can impede performance.

Chose the devices

Typical choices are: Tivo, DVD jukebox, Cable Set-Top-Box, Windows Media
Center, VCR, VOD box, or anything else with composite audio/video output.

Default settings on your Xtender are:

• Red Channel – Tivo with a cable box

• Green Channel – TiVo DVR

• Blue Channel – DVD player or DVD changer

Installing the Xtender 14

Red Channel Set Up

• TiVo DVR with a cable box that it controls

Connect the Device to the Xtender

Connect the Audio/Video output of the device to the inputs on the Red channel of
the Xtender. (white and red are audio Left and Right, yellow is composite video)
Let’s start with a more difficult one – a TiVo DVR that uses a digital cable box to
change channels and receive digital cable channels. The cable box gets its input
from the Xtender “Antenna Out” connector, it passes channels to the TiVo DVR
either using an A/V (R/W/Y) cable or another coax and the TiVo output goes into
the Xtender red channel (notice in the “Connecting Your TV to Xtender” section,
the red channel can pass its signal through to a TV directly using the Red Channel
Out connectors.

Note If any of your devices need a cable TV connection (TiVo, set-top-box etc), connect

a coax cable from the “STB OUT” jack on Xtender to that Device. If more than one
device needs a cable connection you will have to use a splitter to provide each
device a signal connection from the “STB OUT” jack on Xtender.

Installing the Xtender 15

Connect the “IR Blaster”

This cable lets Xtender control the A/V device – IR Cables come in the optional
wiring pack.

Locate an IR cable in your Xtender Installation Kit (sold separately). Plug the
connector of the IR cable into the “IR Out” on the Xtender Red Channel.

Locate the IR window on the device that you have plugged into the Red Channel.
Peel the back off of the tape on the other end and stick it over the IR window of the
audio/video device you previously plugged into the Red channel input.

Important Make sure that if you plug a device into an Xtender channel that the IR emitter for

that device is plugged into the SAME COLOR as the A/V cables to that device.

Help If you are unsure of where the IR receiver is on your Audio/Video device, it usually

is a small red-tinted plastic “window” on the front panel. You can also hold the
remote (that originally came with that device) very close to the Audio/Video device
press one or more buttons on the remote while moving it slowly over different
areas of the Audio/Video device front panel and determine the location (of the
remote) where the device responds to the button presses.

Green Channel Set Up

• Example - Tivo

Connect the A/V Device to the Xtender

Repeat the same steps as the Red Channel. That is, connect your TiVo device to
Xtender by plugging the Audio/Video connectors from the audio/video outputs on
the DVD player to the inputs on Xtender’s Green Channel.

Connect the “IR Blaster”

Repeat the same steps as the Red Channel by connecting the IR blaster to the IR
window on the device you are plugging into the Green Channel.

Installing the Xtender 16

Locate the IR window on the device that you have plugged into the Green Channel.
Peel the back off of the tape on the other end and stick it over the IR window of the
audio/video device you previously plugged into the Green Channel input.

Blue Channel Set Up

 Default DVD Player/Changer

Connect the Device to the Xtender

As an example, we will connect a DVD player to the Blue Channel.

Repeat the same steps as the Red Channel. That is, connect your DVD device to
Xtender by plugging the Audio/Video connectors from the audio/video outputs on
the DVD player to the inputs on Xtender’s Blue Channel.

Connect the “IR Blaster”.

Repeat the same steps as the red channel by connecting the IR blaster to the IR
window on the device you are plugging into the Blue Channel

Connecting Xtender’s Power Supply

Locate the power supply that came with Xtender. Plug power supply into “Po wer”
on the back panel of Xtender. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet or plug strip.

Checking Power Supply

• Check that the Xtender power lights are on

Optional – Connect to the local TV

Xtender’s job is to connect the rest of the TVs in your home to your stack of A/V
equipment, and as previously described, you might very well have moved your
equipment to some out-of-the-way location. If, however, your Xtender is now
sitting next to a TV, that TV needs to get connected.

Installing the Xtender 17

OR

Using the RED Channel Out A/V cable connection allows you to pass the A/V
device through to your TV for the best possible picture – many people connect
their cable DVR box to the Red channel and when watching cable on the TV next to
Xtender use the “Video” input on their TV. You can also simply connect your TV to
Xtender using the Local-TV output from Xtender – now this TV will function just
like all the rest of the TVs in your home and have full access to all the Xtender
channels.

Remote Control Setup for Local TV

If you are using the coax connection to the local TV, then the remote you intend to
leave in that room to work that TV needs to be uniquely identified to the Xtender.
Make sure the remote is paired to the Xtender unit (see instructions in the
“Remote” section), Hold down Menu and Vol+ until the power light comes on and
stays on – press select/OK to confirm.

Installing the Xtender 18

Chapter 4

Step 3 Programming the Remotes

Three Steps to Programming the Remotes

1. Pair remotes with your Xtender

2. Pick a room, program a remote to work the TV in that room.

3. Program red, green and blue channels

4. Program the rest of the remotes for each room

Step 1 – Pair Remotes

Why am I doing this? Just like you only want your cordless phone talking to your

own base station/phone line, you only want your remotes controlling your Xtender
and not your neighbor’s. This step “pairs” your remotes to your Xtender.

• Press the BOCS Logo button on the
front of the Xtender unit. The

Red/Green/Blue lights on the front of
Xtender will begin blinking

• Simultaneously press the “Menu” and “Ch+” buttons and hold for 2 sec onds.
The red power light on the remote will flash twice

• Check to make sure the pairing worked by pressing the Red Xtender channel
button – if the red light on the front of Xtender flashes, pairing was successful.
If it does not (the remote will also give you an error code of either a fast flash
power light indicating the remote is not paired to anything or an out of range
indication – alternating power/Xtender channel lights on the remote) – If you
get an error try binding again.

• Repeat for each remote

Note In step 1, if the LEDs on Xtender stop blinking immediately upon release of

the pair button, the maximum number of remotes have already been bound to this
Xtender (12 are allowed). To un-pair all remotes and start over, press and hold the
BOCS Logo button for 10 seconds.

Check You can check to see if a remote is bound to Xtender – just go stand in front

of the Xtender and press the “BOCS-Red” channel button on the remote. If the red
light on the remote blinks once and the red light on Xtender blink once, it is paired.
If it is not paired, the Xtender light will not blink and the remote will also give you

an error code of either a fast flash power light indicating the remote is not paired to
anything or an out of range indication – alternating power/Xtender channel lights
on the remote.

Step 2 – Pick a room, program a remote to work the TV in that room

• Start with either the TV in the same room as Xtender or the closest TV to

Xtender

• Find your TV brand in the code list for your TV type (Appendix A)

• Press and hold the TV and INFO buttons until the remote power light turns on

Programming the Remotes 19

• Enter the device code while pointing the remote at the TV – the power light

should blink twice indicating a successful code was selected and a power
command was sent to the TV. If you get a fast flash, there was an error – we
suggest you exit program mode (press remote power button) and start over.

• If the TV turns off or on press Select/OK to confirm you found the right code –

the power light should blink twice to indicate that the code was saved
successfully.

• If the TV does not turn off or on enter the next five digit code – keep trying

codes until you find the one that works best with your TV

Important you will repeat these steps for each room/TV where you want a BOCS

remote control, but for now go to step 3.

Important We highly recommend that you try out all the buttons you think you will

use and make sure that the code you chose works for all those buttons. Keep in
mind that many TVs have “similar” IR codes, and sometimes you can choose a
code that works the power button but some of the other buttons do not work
correctly. In that case, just pick up where you left off and try other codes in that
group.

Alternate Remote programming procedure for TV: Auto-Scan

Huh? If you try all the codes for your brand of TV (make sure if you have a combo

TV/DVD or TV/VCR you find that group in the code list as well) and you have not
found one that works, you can have the remote automatically scan through all the
codes the remote has stored in it to see if one of them might work.

1. Turn on the TV you would like to program into the remote. Press and hold “Local-

TV” and “Guide” for at least two seconds –until the power light on the remote
stays on

2. Press the TV button – power light should stay lit

3. Press and hold the Up Arrow button: the remote will scan through all the codes

transmitting a “power off” for each one. The indicator light will flash during the
scan. The full scan may take up to several minutes.

4. As soon as the TV you are trying to program turns off, release the UP Arrow button
note you must do this quickly. Pressing the up and down arrows momentarily

steps through the code list – so you may want to press the down arrow a few times
and then go back forward through the codes by pressing the up arrow until the TV
turns on again.

5. Press the Select/OK button to accept the new code. The power light should flash

twice indicating a successful code save.

Step 3 – Program the Xtender to Control the A/V Devices

Important: only program the channels one time, with one remote control. The

system will automatically program all the rest of the remotes in the home.

Red Channel

• Identify the device code from the list (Appendix A)

• Simultaneously press the BOCS-Red and Info buttons until the power button

lights

• Enter the device code – press “Select/OK” to confirm

• Remote power light should flash twice indicating success

Green Channel

Programming the Remotes 20

• Identify the device code from the list (Appendix A)

• Simultaneously press the Green and Info buttons until the power button lights

• Enter the device code – press “Select/OK” to confirm Remote power light

should flash twice indicating success

Blue Channel

• Identify the device code from the list (Appendix A)

• Simultaneously press the Blue and Info buttons until the power button lights

• Enter the device code – press “Select/OK” to confirm

• Remote power light should flash twice indicating success

Example:
You plugged a TiVo DVR into the BOCS-Red channel:

• Look up the code for a TiVo (from the list that is one of the following: 17002

17020 17123 17124 17129 17623 17624) note they all might work, so try
each one to find the one that works best for your TiVo

• Hold down “Info” and “BOCS-Red” and the power light will come on

• Punch in 17002

• Press “Select/OK” to confirm

• Press the Red Channel button and try it out – press menu, navigate the Tivo

menu – if it does not work well try one of the other codes.

Alternate Remote programming procedure for Red/Green/Blue
Channels: Auto-Scan

Important: Many devices that you might plug into Xtender do not respond well to a “power

command” – for instance a TiVo DVR does not really have an off switch. Before
you do a scan for IR codes using this method, you should use the remote that
came with you’re A/V device, press power and see what happens so you know
what you are looking for.

1. Turn on the TV and press the Red, Green, or Blue button corresponding to the

device you wish to program.

2. Press and hold Red (or Green or Blue) and Guide for at least two seconds –until

the power light on the remote stays on

3. Press the device type button corresponding to the type of device you are

programming:

 If programming a TV – Press the TV button – power light should stay lit
 If programming a DVD player – Press the DVD button – power light

should stay lit

 If programming a Cable Set Top Box – Press the CBL button – power

light should stay lit

 If programming a VCR – Press the VCR button – power light should

stay lit

4. Press and hold the Up Arrow button: the remote will scan through all the codes

transmitting a “power off” for each one. The indicator light will flash during the
scan. The full scan may take up to several minutes.

5. As soon as the device you are trying to program turns off, release the UP Arrow

button – note that you must do this quickly. Pressing the up and down arrows
momentarily steps through the code list – so you may want to press the down
arrow a few times and then go back forward through the codes by pressing the up
arrow until the device turns on again.

Programming the Remotes 21

6. Press the Select/OK button to accept the new code.

Step 4: Program the rest of your remotes for each room

This is exactly like step 2 – just grab a new remote, make sure it is Paired to your
Xtender, and program it for the TV in the room where you intend to leave that
remote.

Step 5: Set the master remote

Note you only need to perform this step if you have connected a TV to the “Local TV”

coax connector on the Xtender

The "Local Master" remote is defined as the remote that controls the TV that is
connected to the "local TV" coax output from the Xtender. This remote must
identify itself to the Xtender so that the Xtender can switch the correct output
signal onto the "local TV" output, depending on whether the TV is tuned to a TV
channel or a BOCS channels. This switching allows you to watch TV channels that
would otherwise be replaced by the BOCS channels. When you press the red,
green, or blue button on the "Local Master" remote, the Xtender switches BOCS
channels onto the "local TV" coax output. When you press the "Local TV" button,
the Xtender changes the switch to output CATV signals to the "local TV" coax
output.

To set or remove the remote as a "Local Master"

1. Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

 "Menu" and "Vol +" to set the remote as local master.
 "Menu" and "Vol -" to remove the remote as local master.

2. The Power LED will turn on.

3. Press Select/OK to confirm.

4. If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If the function failed, the

power LED will pulse rapidly for one second, and then turn off.

That’s it! You are ready to begin using your Xtender system. Enjoy

The Xtender remote is a full universal remote and can control other devices that
are in the same room as the remote – the three buttons on the bottom of the
remote (Aux, CBL, and DVD) can each hold the codes for a device of your choice

• Decide on which device you would like to control with which button – for

example we will program a JBL DVD player to be controlled by the DVD button

• Find the JBL DVD codes in the code list (Appendix A) and write down those

codes – in this case 25278

• Hold down “Info” and “DVD” for about two seconds until the power light

comes on and stays on

• Punch in the code “25278”

• Press select/OK to confirm

• If there are multiple codes, try them one at a time until you find the one that

works for your device.

• Repeat for each of the other local control buttons

Punch-Through

Why might I want to do this? If you use something other than the built in speakers
in your TV to listen a show, you have an external receiver or video switch to
control what you are watching on your TV, or you change channels on something
other than your TV – like a Cable or Satellite Box.

Volume Punch-Through

By default, volume buttons always control the local TV, regardless of mode. To
redirect volume buttons ("Vol +", "Vol -", and "Mute") to the AUX device (an audio
receiver, external amp or anything else), or return these controls to the local TV,
use this procedure:

1. Make sure you have programmed the remote to control your external audio

device by using the AUX button – see “Control other devices in the same room
as the remote:” above

2. Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

 "AUX" and "VOL +" - to direct volume buttons to the AUX device, or
 "TV" and "VOL +" - to direct volume buttons to the local TV.

3. The power LED will turn on.

4. Press Select/OK to confirm.

5. If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If the function failed,

the power LED will pulse rapidly for one second, and then turn off.

Input Punch-Through:

By default, the remote sends the TV-Input button to the currently selected local or
BOCS device. To redirect the TV-Input button to the AUX device (when the remote
is in any local mode), or return it to its default behavior, use this procedure:

1. Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

 "AUX" and "Live TV" - to direct the TV-Input button to the AUX

device, or

Programming the Remotes 23

 "TV" and "Live TV" - to restore the TV-Input button to its default

behavior.

2. The power LED will turn on.

3. Press Select/OK to confirm.

4. If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If the function failed,

the power LED will pulse rapidly for one second, and then turn off.

Channel Punch-Through:

By default, the remote sends channel tuning buttons to the Local TV device when
in local TV Mode. To redirect channel tuning buttons (digits "0" - "9", "CH +", "CH ­", "#/Enter", and "*/Delete" to the CBL device when in local TV mode, or to return
these controls to the local TV, use this procedure:

1. Press and hold one of the following combinations for at least 2 seconds:

 "CBL" and "CH +" - to direct channel tuning buttons to the CBL

device, or

 "TV" and "CH +" - to restore channel tuning buttons to the TV.

2. The power LED will turn on.

3. Press Select/OK to confirm.

4. If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If the function failed,

the power LED will pulse rapidly for one second, and then turn off.

Learn IR Code(s)

Learning allows the BOCS remote or the Xtender to output IR codes that are
identical to those output by another remote. Note that all Xtenders can learn IR
codes to control devices plugged directly into them, but to learn IR codes for a TV
or other “local device” you must purchase separately Learning remote.

• Learning associates a learned IR code with a specific button on the BOCS

remote for a specific device. For example, if you learn the "Menu" button for
the CBL device, the remote will output that code when you press "Menu" and
the remote is in CBL mode.

• Learning a button for a device overrides the IR code that the remote would

output for that device based on the device type set by the "Scan Local Device
Type or BOCS Device Type" or "Set Local Device Type or BOCS Device Type"
procedures. This makes it possible to first set a device type that is "close", and
then learn only the buttons that do not work as desired. Note the "Scan Local

Device Type or BOCS Device Type" and "Set Local Device Type or BOCS
Device Type" procedures erase any learned IR codes for the device whose type
is set.

Have the BOCS Remote Learn IR Codes from Another Remote

To control the Local TV, CBL, DVD, or AUX devices, follow this procedure:

1. Place the two remotes pointing at each other, about 2" apart and directly

"nose-to-nose" in line with each other. Note that remotes must remain very still
during this process.

Programming the Remotes 24

2. Press and hold simultaneously for at least 2 seconds one of these

combinations on the BOCS remote, to select which local device the learned
codes will be associated with:

 "Local TV" and "Enter/#" for the local TV,
 "CBL" and "Enter/#" for the local CBL device,
 "DVD" and "Enter/#" for the local DVD device, or
 "AUX" and "Enter/#" for the local AUX device.

3. The power LED will turn on.

4. Press the button that the learned code will be assigned to on the BOCS remote

(the receiving button).

5. Within 5 seconds, press the button to teach on the existing remote.

6. The power LED flashes twice if the key was successfully learned, or flashes

rapidly if learning failed. If neither of these signals occurs, press the button to
teach on the existing remote again.

7. To learn another button (or to learn the same button again if the previous try

failed), go back to step 3.

8. When you are done with all the buttons to be learned for this device, just do

nothing. The remote will exit learn mode after 10 seconds of inactivity, and the
power LED will turn off.

Have the Xtender Learn IR Codes from Another Remote

To Control Devices Plugged into the Red, Green, or Blue channel

1. Place the other remote control so that it points at the IR receive window on the

front of the Xtender – it must be within 2” of the window and pointed directly at
the window from the front. Note that the remote must remain very still and at
the same distance from the Xtender IR window.

2. Press and hold simultaneously for at least 2 seconds one of these

combinations on the BOCS remote, to select which BOCS device the learned
codes will be associated with:

 "RED" and "Enter/#" for the BOCS RED channel,
 "GREEN" and "Enter/#" for the BOCS GREEN channel, or
 "BLUE" and "Enter/#" for the BOCS BLUE channel.

3. Continue with step 3 from the procedure above.

Unlearn IR Code(s)

You may need to unlearn previously learned IR codes if there is an error during the
learning process, or to free up "learning memory" on the remote or the Xtender.

Note: the "Scan Local Device Type or BOCS Device Type" and "Set Local Device

Type or BOCS Device Type" procedures automatically unlearn all learned IR codes
for the device whose type is set.

For BOCS Remote or Xtender to Unlearn IR Codes

1. Press and hold simultaneously for at least 2 seconds one of these

combinations on the BOCS remote, to select which device to unlearn:

 "Local TV" and "Delete/*" for the local TV,
 "CBL" and "Delete/*" for the local CBL device,

Programming the Remotes 25

 "DVD" and "Delete/*" for the local DVD device,
 "AUX" and "Delete/*" for the local AUX device,
 "RED" and "Delete/*" for the BOCS RED channel,
 "GREEN" and "Delete/*" for the BOCS GREEN channel, or
 "BLUE" and "Delete/*" for the BOCS BLUE channel.

2. The power LED will turn on.

3. Press the button to be unlearned.

4. The power LED flashes twice if the key was successfully unlearned, or flashes

rapidly if unlearning failed.

5. To unlearn another button, go back to step 3.

6. When you are done with all the buttons to be unlearned for this device, just do

nothing. The remote will exit unlearn mode after 10 seconds of inactivity, and
the power LED will turn off.

Channel Tuning Delay

Important when the Red, Green, or Blue button is pressed, the remote control attempts to

tune the TV channel. Some TVs require longer delays between channel digits
transmitted by the remote. Follow this procedure to set longer delays if your TV is
having trouble tuning to the correct channel number for Red, Green, or Blue
channel.

1. Press and hold TV and CH+ for at least two seconds – until the power light on

the remote stays on

2. Press a number button corresponding to the desired channel tuning delay:

1 sets delay to 1/10

2 sets delay to 1/5
3 sets delay to 1/2

th

of a second

th

of a second (default factory setting)

th

of a second
4 sets delay to 3/4 of a second
5 sets delay to 1 second
6 sets delay to 2 seconds

3. If a valid value was entered, the red power light on the remote will flash twice

indicating success.

4. If the value entered is not recognized, the red power light on the remote will

blink rapidly, in this case repeat the programming procedure.

Channel Tuning Mode (2 or 3 digits or use the +100 key)

Important When you press one of the red, green, or blue BOCS buttons, the remote sends

two or more IR digits to the local TV to tune it to the channel for the red, green, or
blue device. Some TVs require different digit sequences to tune correctly,
especially for channels above 99. Use this function to set the method your TV
requires.

1. Press and hold "MENU" & "5" for at least 2 seconds. The power LED will light.

2. Press "1" or "2" to select the tuning mode:

Programming the Remotes 26

 1 = send two digits for channel 99 or lower; send "+100" followed by

two digits for channel 100 and above. This is the default.

 2 = always send three digits.

3. Press Select/OK to confirm.

4. If successful, the power LED will pulse twice and turn off. If error, the power

LED will pulse rapidly for a second, then turn off.

Adjust the Video quality of Xtender channels

Important The Xtender can be adjusted to output different levels of video to the home, this

provides the ability to make Cable-TV channels and Xtender channels look the
same.

1. Set up the desired television to view the CATV signal, and make a note of its

signal quality.

2. Switch the television to view a BOCS channel.

3. Press and hold the "Menu" and "1" for at least 2 seconds.

4. The power LED will turn on.

5. While observing the BOCS signal on the television, press the up arrow or down

arrow as appropriate to optimize the signal.

6. When you have found the best gain setting, press Select/OK to confirm. To exit

without changing the gain, press any other button, or just wait 10 seconds for
the function to time out.

Note when either the maximum or minimum range of the attenuator is reached, the

power LED will flash rapidly for one second, then revert to full on. The full range of
the attenuator can be spanned in about 8 seconds.

Note that sometimes the problem is an Xtender channel that has “too much signal,” so

if the picture does not look good, also try turning the level down. You should find a
level that makes Xtender channels look good on all your TVs.

Using the Remotes

Controlling the TV

Press the Local TV button, the remote will now control the TV. The remote
automatically tunes the TV in front of you to your favorite TV channel.

To set your favorite TV channel:

• Press "Local TV" (to control the TV in front of you).

• Enter a two digit channel number (which the remote will send to the TV as

usual, tuning it to your favorite channel).

• Press "Local TV". The remote will remember the favorite channel and will

tune the TV to that channel anytime you press "Local TV".

Controlling the Red Channel

Press the Red button, the remote will now control the device connected to the Red
channel of the Xtender and command the TV in front of you to change to the
channel that Red is on – Red might be on any channel that you or your installer set
– so make sure you keep the remote pointed at the TV until it gets to the new
channel.

Controlling the Green Channel

Press the Green button, the remote will now control the device connected to the
Green channel of the Xtender.

Controlling the Blue Channel

Press the Blue button, the remote will now control the device connected to the
Blue channel of the Xtender.

Note: When controlling one of the Red/Green/Blue channels, the Vol+/- and Mute

buttons still control the TV.

Using the Power button

Normally, the Power button always controls the TV. However the power on a
device connected to the Red, Green, or Blue channel of the Xtender can be
controlled by following this procedure:

• Press the Red, Green, or Blue button corresponding to the device you want

to power on or off.

• Within 10 seconds after pressing the Red, Green, or Blue button, press the

Power button.

Controlling the Local Devices

If you want to use the remote to control one of the other devices in front of you,
press "CBL", "AUX", or "DVD". Once you press one of these buttons, the remote
will continue to control the device you selected until you press Local TV, Red,
Green, or Blue again.

Buttons will Illuminate

Programming the Remotes 28

When you press a button, one of the following buttons on the remote will light up
briefly, indicating which device the remote is transmitting the button press to:

• Red (button sent to the red channel device)

• Green (button sent to the green channel device)

• Blue (button sent to the blue channel device)

• Local TV (button sent to the TV in front of you)

• DVD (button sent to the DVD device in front of you)

• CBL (button sent to the CBL device in front of y o u)

• AUX (button sent to the AUX device in front of you)

Troubleshooting:

General Sometimes while I’m

watching an Xtender
channel, the channel
or program changes

It’s possible someone else in the house
has pressed the same Xtender channel
button and has taken control. Consider
splitting the programs – perhaps Blue for
kids and Green for adults.

Video
Quality

The video quality of
Xtender channels is
not as good as my
Cable TV channels

If you had an installer come out and put
in your Xtender system, they should
have already adjusted everything, but
just in case, Xtender allows you to adjust
the quality of your Xtender channels just
by using the remote control:

Make sure the remote knows how to talk
to Xtender - press the Red Xtender
channel button on the remote and make
sure the red light on the front of Xtender
blinks.

Now - go to the furthest TV from where
your Cable comes into your home - (if
you don't know where that is then just go
to the TV where you think the Xtender
channels are the weakest) - with the
Xtender remote for that room/TV- hold
down "MENU" and "1" until the power
light on the remote comes on. Now (as
long as you don't ever pause for more
than 10 seconds and the remote comes
out of program mode) you can press the
up arrow to make the signal stronger and
the down arrow to make it weaker - there
are about 16 different choices - once you
find one that looks good press the
select/OK button to save that setting.

We recommend you set the signal as low
as you can and get a good picture - just
setting it to its highest level could
interfere with other TV stations you
receive.

Now - you should go around to all the
other TVs and make sure they all look
good as well - you can up the signal
again to try to get the best picture
everywhere.

Keep in mind you are adjusting the
signal level for the whole house every
time you make this adjustment and not
just for the TV you are observing so be
careful.

The video quality of
the Xtender channels

Programming the Remotes 30

The Local-TV output on Xtender puts out
either Cable TV stations or Xtender

Remote
control

is not as good as my
Cable TV channels on
the TV connected to
the LOCAL-TV output
on Xtender

Sometimes, when
watching BOCS
channels on the TV
connected to the
Local-TV output on
Xtender, the quality
of the video suddenly
goes bad

Sometimes pressing
a button does not
result in anything
happening on an
Xtender channel

channels depending on what you want to
watch – but Xtender needs to know
which remote control you are using with
this “Local-TV” so it can switch those
signals to the TV properly – simply hold
down Menu and VOL+ then press
select/OK – Now when you press an
Xtender channel button, the Local-TV
output puts out a good quality Xtender
channel signal, and when you press
Local-TV it switches back to putting out
good quality Cable TV signals

One of the other remotes in the home
has also been set as the “local master
remote” – and when someone pushes
the local-TV button, the Xtender stops
putting out good quality Xtender
channels to the TV connected to Xtender.
Simply go to all the other remotes in the
home and hold down Menu and VOL­then press Select/OK -

Make sure the remote is paired with the
Xtender – you can tell this by going to
Xtender with the remote in question,
pressing an Xtender channel button and
seeing if the corresponding color light on
Xtender flashes – if not pair the remote.

I’ve tried all the codes
for my TV and none
of them work

Look at the Xtender Channel light on the
remote – when you press the Xtender
channel button, if the light sometimes
flashes and sometimes stays on for a few
seconds, the remote is having trouble
communicating with Xtender. Try the
following:

Make sure the antenna on the Xtender is
pointed straight up.

Try moving closer to Xtender and see if
the problem goes away.

Consider buying a repeater to Xtend the
range of your remotes

Try a TV code scan – see the procedure
in the “programming the remote
section.”

Try a FULL code scan – use the same
procedure but omit pressing the “Local­TV button” after entering scan mode –
this will scan through all 2000 codes in
the remote – it might take a while.

Consider purchasing a learning remote
so you can suck the codes from the
remote that originally came with your TV
into an Xtender remote.

Programming the Remotes 31

I found a code for my
TV or A/V device and
some buttons work
but others do not

This is fairly common because many
manufacturers use a slightly different
code for each product they put on the
market. So – you might have found a
code that worked the power button and a
few others but might not work the menu,
or other buttons do not work – the simple
solution is try other codes… Try them in
this order:

2) Try all the codes in the category you
are looking for (i.e. if you are looking
for a TV code, try all the TV codes
one at a time for the brand of TV you
are using)

3) Do a category code scan – hold down
Guide and the device you are trying
to program (Local[-TV for TV, BOCS
Red, Green or Blue, or DVD, AUX, or
CBL) then press the kind of device
you are trying to program (Local TV
for a TV, CBL for cable or sat box,
DVD for a DVD VCR or Laserdisc, or
Aux for anything else) then hold the
up arrow until your device turns
off/on – then press select to save that
code… If you have trouble see the
more detailed instructions in the
“programming the remote session”

When I press an
Xtender channel
button, the TV
doesn’t change to a
channel where I can
see my Xtend-ed
device

4) Do a full scan (get something to drink
before you do, this takes a while) –
same steps as #3 above, just skip the
“press the kind of device you are
trying to program” step…

5) Buy a learning remote and learn the
codes for the buttons that do not
work

Don't forget that even though we tried to
make this as simple as possible, the
remote still has to be able to tell your TV
where it wants to go - with a standard
installation we put the Red channel on
14, Green on 98 and Blue on 96... One
thing that is a little different about an
Xtender remote is that it usually has to
tell your TV two things to get to an
Xtender channel - '1' and '4'... The most
common problem is that you don't keep
the remote pointing at the TV long
enough and the TV only sees the '1', it
happily goes to channel 1, you realize
that is not where you wanted to be and
quickly push the Red button again - only
to take you to channel '11'

The solution is simple - make sure you
point the remote at the TV and keep it

Programming the Remotes 32

pointed there until the TV goes where
you want - some TVs take a while to
respond. if the TV only sees one digit,
wait until that clears before you try
pushing the Xtender channel button
again.

One other thing to watch for, some TVs
need a long time in between pressing
buttons - if you press the Red button
(and have the default configuration
where red is on channel 14) and you see
the 1 on the TV but the 4 never shows up,
see the next FAQ item "When I push an
Xtender channel button on the remote it
only sends one digit".

When I push an

Xtender channel
button on the remote
it only sends one
digit

Some TVs need a long time in between
pressing buttons - if you press the Red
button (and have the default
configuration where red is on channel

14) and you see the 1 on the TV but the 4

never shows up (and you were a good
user and kept the remote pointed right at
the TV), it is likely that the remote is
sending the channel commands too
quickly. We have noticed some Insignia
TVs and a few others have this problem.

The tradeoff is that it will take longer to
change between Xtender channels, but
since the alternative is not ever getting
there, we suggest the following:

Quick - pre-explanation first...

What actually happens when you push
the Red button is the remote sends a "1"
then pauses then sends a "4" ...
Depending on the TV, a different "pause
time" is required - for now you will have
to play with it a little to get it just right (as
we get more feedback from users we will
publish a detailed pause-time list for
various TV models - so if you don't mind
let us know what works for you if you
have to adjust this in your house)...

To set the pause time,

Hold down the MENU button and the "4"
key: The power light should come on and
stay on

press one of the following and then

Programming the Remotes 33

press Select/OK to confirm

1 for a pause time of 1/10th of a second
(fastest channel changing)

2 for a pause time of 1/5th of a second (a
little slower...)

3 for a pause time of 1/2 of a second

4 for a pause time of 3/4 of a second

5 for a pause time of 1 second

6 for a pause time of 2 seconds

Show Current IR Codes programmed into the remotes

This function outputs an indication of the IR codes currently set for all the local IR
devices and the devices attached to the BOCS red, green, and blue channels, by
flashing the corresponding LEDs on the remote. Once you get your system up and
running well, it is a good idea to record all the codes you are using in case you ever
need to reprogram the system.

The device types are displayed using the following code:

• Each device type is flashed as five digits.

• Digits 1 through 9 are indicated by one through nine LED flashes, respectively. For each flash the

LED is on for ½ second and off for ½ second.

• Digit 0 is indicated by a rapidly flashing LED for 1 second.

• The LED is off for two seconds between digits.

Procedure:

1. Press and hold "MENU" and "2" on the remote for at least 2 seconds.

2. The power LED will turn on.

3. Press Select/OK to confirm.

4. The red LED will flash the device type for the red channel device.

5. The green LED will flash the device type for the green channel device.

6. The blue LED will flash the device type for the blue channel device.

7. The Local TV LED will flash the device type for the local TV device.

8. The AUX LED will flash the device type for the local AUX device.

9. The DVD LED will flash the device type for the local DVD device.

10. The CBL LED will flash the device type for the local CBL device.

11. The power LED will turn off.
