5 Frequently asked

questions

www.philips.com/support

In this chapter, you will find the most
frequently asked questions and answers
about your product.

No image or wrong image on TV1

• Make sure the video source is
switched on.

• Make sure the video source is
connected to the transmitter (A).

• Make sure the transmitter (A) is
connected to TVI.

• Make sure the transmitter (A) is
switch on.

• Make sure SCART cables are firmly
inserted.

• Make sure the correct SCART input
on TV1 is selected.

No image or wrong image on TV2

• Make sure SCART cables are firmly
inserted.

• Make sure the receiver (B) is
connected to TV2.

• Make sure both receiver (B) and
transmitter (A) are switched on.

• Make sure the video source is
switched on.

• Make sure the correct SCART input
on TV2 is selected.

• If the video source gives proper image
on TV1, make sure the video source
gives video signal in CVBS mode.

• Change the wireless channel that is
used for communication.
See “Remove interference on TV2” on
page 12.

• The receiver (B) is out of range of the
transmitter (A). The number of walls
and ceilings between the receiver (B)
and transmitter (A) restricts the
distance.

Interference in the image on TV2

• Slightly change the position of the
receiver (B) or the transmitter (A).

• Change the wireless channel that is
used for communication.
See “Remove interference on TV2” on
page 12.

• The receiver (B) is out of range of the
transmitter (A). The number of walls
and ceilings between the receiver (B)
and transmitter (A) restricts the
distance.

The video sources do not respond to the
remote control commands from TV2

• Point the remote control directly to
the receiver (B).

• Replace the batteries of the remote
controls with new ones.

• Install the remote control blaster cord
(F).

See “Install the remote control blaster
cord” on page 10.

Note: The maximum operating distance
of the remote control is 7m.

Buzzing sound when you use the remote
control.

• Slightly change the position of the
receiver or the transmitter until the
buzzing sound stops.

14 Frequently asked questions

Easylink feature does not work.

• Check if the TV and VCR support
Easylink.

• Check if you used full-wired SCART
cables.

Black and white image with S-VHS VCR.

• (Super Video Home System Video/
Cassette/Recorder)

• Check if the SCART connector of the
S-VHS VCR gives signal in CVBS.
(Composite Video Broadcast Signal).
See its user manual.

How can I find the IR sensor on the video
source?

• The blaster light needs to be
positioned precisely on the IR sensor
of the video source. Some equipments
have the letters IR at the front
indicating the location of the IR sensor.
In case there is no indication the
position can be found by moving the
blaster light slowly over the front of
the video source while a 2nd person
operates the remote control at the
location of TV2. At least make sure
that the remote control is out of range
of the video source. When the video
source starts to react the IR sensor
location is found. Mount the blaster
light on this location at the front of the
video source.

• Another possibility is to move the
remote control over the front of the
video source while operating it. Once
the video source starts to react the
location of the IR sensor is found. This
method is less accurate and does not
work for each remote control model.

• Also consult the documentation of
your video source to locate the IR
sensor.

How can I watch a different channel on
TV1 and TV2 simultaneously?

• Watching two different channels is
only possible if you use two tuners.
For example TV1 uses its internal
tuner and TV2 uses the tuner of the
VCR. For switching channels on TV2
you switch then between the channels
stored in the VCR. Note that this is
not possible when you have a digital
cable.

• Connect your antenna cable to both
your TV1 and your VCR.

• Search for the TV channels on your
VCR and store them in your VCR.

• Connect the transmitter (A) to the
output of the VCR.

• Connect the receiver (B) to the input
of TV2.

• To switch TV channels on TV2 switch
the channel on your VCR.
