Precautions

• Safety This equipment contains heat sensitive components. Maximum ambient

temperature must not exceed 35° Celsius. Humidity in rooms where this equipment is situated must not exceed a hygrometric

level of 85 %. If you have to use your equipment outside, avoid exposing it to rain water or to splashes. The (VS 540 CA) video camera is “Splashproof“ and resists

humidity and splattering but we advise you to not expose it to rain or rainwater trickling. The transition from a cold environment to a hot one may cause condensation. Allow it to dry by itself before re-starting the equipment.

In the event of prolonged absence, switch off the equipment by means of the on/off switch. Even when switched off, certain components remain live. In order to insulate it completely you must remove the plug from the main electricity supply.

In the event of an electrical storm, it is advisable to disconnect the equipment from the electricity supply so as to avoid potentially damaging electrical or electromagnetic surges. To this end, make sure that the mains plug is easily accessible for disconnection.

Disconnect the equipment immediately if you detect a smell of burning or smoke. Under no circumstances must you open the equipment yourself; you run the risk of

electrocution.

• Maintenance

Clean the equipment with a soft cloth and a neutral detergent. The use of solvents, abrasive products or alcohol-based products is likely to damage the equipment.

• Regulations

This equipment must only be installed inside. Its use is restricted to private radio transmission. Connection to a public or independent network, or to an outside aerial is prohibited.

Under no circumstances should this appliance be put to industrial use. It is designed solely for domestic operation.

THOMSON multimedia disclaims all responsibility in the event of use that does not comply with the present instructions.

The Video Sender VS 540 permits the relay of an Audio-Video signal from your main set-up to a second television set located in another room and equipped with a scart connection (or RCA/Cinch). The main set-up is the place in which you have chosen to install the majority of your equipment (television set, video recorder, satellite receiver, DVD player,..) you can operate the units from the room with the second television set by using their remote controls, or with a universal remote control. You can play and hear music if you connect the transmitter to a suitable outlet (

AUDIO OUT), and the receiver to an amplifier (AUDIO IN) placed in another room. For

the link-up you will need to obtain 1 cinch/cinch cable (not supplied with equipment). If you already have a Thomson plasma screen monitor or video projector, the Video Sender will ease your placing of these items where you most want them to be, thanks to eliminating all problems related to long cable runs.

The Video Sender can be supplied complete with a mini camera itself equipped with a microphone. This is the VS 540 CA assembly. With it you can for example monitor a child’s room or the entry to your home. The handy camera fixing grip lets you easily change where you place the assembly, as your needs change.The microphone of the mini camera is built for voice-oriented transmission bandwidth giving quality sound from whatever place you monitor.

1. Place the transmitter (1) near the source equipment (VCR player, DVD player, etc.)

from which you want to transmit video or audio output, and connect it with the two cords (2 A and 2 B) making sure you respect the color coding of the 3 cinch plugs (red and white for audio, yellow for video). Connect the TV set to a suitable outlet from the VCR player or DVD player (AV1).

Obtain a (non-supplied) SCART-TV set connector and connect the TV set to the 2B adapter already connected to the VCR player or DVD player as shown on Page 7 (see item marked

on Page 7).

2. Carefully extend the antenna of the transmitter (1) and orient it towards the room where your second TV set (TV2) is located. Turn on (position ON) the transmitter and receiver, using the ON/OFF switch located on its lower side. Place the channel selectors of the transmitter and the receiver on the same channel (same letter).

3. Fit the lead (4) following these stages:

- connect the jack plug to the IR EXTEND socket,

- unwind the lead and place one cell near the infrared window of the unit to be operated (video recorder or other),

- after installing the receiver (see Page 9), ask someone to use the remote control of that equipment item to be controlled from the room where the second (TV2) is located,

- by moving the cell around in front of the unit to be operated you will find the location that permits its control from the other room. You must fix the cell in that position. Usually, this will be a more or less large, transparent area located on the front of the unit.

4. Remove the protective self-adhesive film from the infrared cell of cord (4) and affix it to the infrared-sensitive panel of the equipment to be remote controlled. The cordon has 3 cells in order to let you play video and audio from 3 equipment items connected to the (TV1) set (see Diagram 2 on Page 13).

5. Fit the mains supply lead (3) to the transmitter and plug it into a 220/240 V ~ 50 Hz mains power supply.

Special operating details:

No pictur

e on TV2? If you fail to obtain the desired picture on the second television

set TV2, select the AV socket, to which the receiver (5) is connected, using the television’s remote control.

Using a decoder (in France: Canal +, TPS, etc.) on your TV2

? To have clear images on your second TV set (TV2), output from the decoder must pass through a VCR player, placed in (AV2) mode or set to the channel number assigned for the encrypted TV channel.

Use of a monitor

? If your second television set does not have a connection for an outside aerial (terrestrial reception), or if it is a monitor, you will be able to see the channels in the room containing the second television set by selecting those of the video recorder with its remote control.

The pictur

e is scrambled? The running of certain equipment (micro-wave ovens,

digital telephone DECT, un-shielded acoustic loudspeakers, etc ...) may interfere with signal transmission. Ensure that they are kept away from the transmitter and the receiver or switch them off.

Make sure that you point the remote control directly at the receiver’s (5) infrared window.

If you have several equipment items (VCR player, satellite receiver, DVD player, etc.) in your main equipment room and want to transmit and receive audio and video signals to a second TV set, connect your equipment items as shown in the Diagrams on following pages. Usually, the units are connected in series, the last unit having a free scart connection that you can use for the connection of the transmitter.

These diagrams represent some connection possibilities the operation of which depends on the type of unit, its sockets and the signals it produces. There exist other connections that you might perhaps wish to try if diagrams 1 to 3 here are not satisfactory. If this is the case, ask your dealer for assistance.

As a general rule, remember to switch off units not in use. Also, refer to the manufacturers’ instructions to see if there are any particularities regarding connection or use. Certain units may need to have their input scart connection “programmed”.

! I

n all cases the transmitter must be connected to a scart connection that produces an Audio-

Video signal Out. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for confirmation of this.

Le Video Sender VS 540 permet de diffuser un signal Audio-Video à partir de votre installation principale vers un second téléviseur installé dans une autre pièce et équipé d’une prise péritélévision (ou RCA/Cinch). L’installation principale est l’endroit où vous avez regroupé la plupart de vos appareils (téléviseur, magnétoscope, récepteur satellite, lecteur DVD, ...). Vous pourrez commander les appareils depuis la pièce où se trouve le second téléviseur à l’aide de leurs télécommandes, ou avec une télécommande universelle. La diffusion de musique est possible si vous raccordez l’émetteur à une source (

AUDIO OUT) et le récepteur à un amplificateur (AUDIO IN) dans une autre

pièce. Dans ce cas vous devrez vous procurer 1 câble cinch / cinch non fourni. Si vous possédez un moniteur plasma ou un projecteur vidéo Thomson, le Video Sender vous facilitera leur implantation à l’endroit désiré grâce à l’élimination des problèmes liés à la longueur des câbles de connexions.

Le Video Sender peut être livré avec une mini-caméra, elle-même munie d’un microphone. Cet ensemble constitue le VS 540 CA. Il vous permet de surveiller par exemple, la chambre d’un enfant ou encore l’entrée de votre habitation. Grâce à la pince de la caméra vous pourrez facilement modifier son emplacement et l’adapter selon le besoin du moment. Le microphone de la mini-caméra permet d’entendre le son de l’endroit surveillé avec une qualité correspondante à la bande passante généralement affectée à la voix.
