Thank you for purchasing the Component with Audio Extender by Gefen, Inc.
Extend your audio and video signal using the Gefen Component Audio Extender. Place

HOW IT WORKS
The Component Audio Extender sender unit connects to any component video and audio
source using the supplied Component and RCA cables. The receiver unit connects to your
HDTV component video display and audio input up to 1000 feet (300 meters) away. One
