The Video Sender VS 650 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.

In that case, you will need to get a SCART/Cinch adapter (not supplied).

The connection setup depends on the devices you have. Here is an example of how
to connect the transmitter in a setup comprising a television set and another device
(DVD player).

Follow the instructions below and the diagram opposite.
Also refer to the operating diagram printed on the inside cover of this manual.

1. Place the transmitter (1) near the device (video recorder, DVD player, etc.) from

which you wish to transmit pictures and sound and connect it using the mini DIN
cord and extension box (2 A and 2 B). Connect the SCART cable (2 C) to socket

1

of the extension box.
With a SCART cable (not supplied), connect the TV set to the extension box
(socket 2) already connected to the video recorder or DVD player.
The red light on the extension box indicates that the transmitter is turned on.

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 Pages 6 and 7), 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 on Page 10).

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

1. Place the receiver (5) on, or near, the second television set.

2. Connect the receiver (5) to the second television set using the lead (6) following

the same instructions as for the transmitter.

3. Extend the antenna on the receiver (5) and orient it toward the main TV set (TV1).

4. Raise and extend the telescopic aerial of the receiver (5).

5. Fit the mains supply lead (7) to the receiver and plug it into a 220/240 V ~ 50 Hz

mains power supply.

! THE ANTENNA allows you to transmit and receive audio and video signals over a

maximum range of 30 meters in free air environments. Inside a typical lodgment the range
will be less because of signal attenuation by building material absorption.

! THE TELESCOPIC AERIAL permits the control of the unit whose pictures you wish to

see in the room containing the second television set (TV2).

! THE POWER SUPPLY plug fitted to the transmitter (1) is not the same as the one fitted

to the receiver (7).

1. Switch on the transmitter (1) and the receiver (5) by switching their ON/OFF
buttons to the ON position.

2. Make sure that the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same

channel by checking the position of the selectors located under the
casing. They must be set to the same channel (same letter).

3. Switch on your equipment (television sets, video recorders ...) in both rooms.

4. Using the remote control of the unit whose pictures you wish to see, and from the

room containing the second television set (TV2), select the channels or video
functions (or others) according to the unit you are controlling.

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.

You will obtain optimal service operation of your Video Sender by correctly
orienting the antennae (A). However, reflected signals or other signal degrading
factors can affect good quality signal transmission. In this case, readjust antennae
positions or slightly move the transmitter or receiver until you get crystal clear
reception.

If no picture is obtained,

check that the transmitter and the receiver have not been installed in the reverse
order (each unit corresponds either to the input or to the output of the Audio-Video
signal). Check that they have been properly connected and that they are switched on
(ON position). Ensure that the channel selector is set to the same letter on both units.

If transmission is blurred or scrambled,

choose another channel but make sure that it is identical on both units.

If your main setup comprises several devices (video recorder, satellite receiver /decoder,
DVD player, etc.) from which you want to transmit pictures and sound to another TV set,
connect them according to the diagram (transmitter side) shown on page 10. In general,
the devices are connected in series.
Connect the devices you use the most (Group 1) to socket 1 of the extension box (2A). This
is the default live socket for transmission to the second TV set.

Operation

In addition to the instructions given on pages 7 and 8, it is essential that you switch off all
unused equipment (put them on standby).
For group 2 equipment, you have to use socket 2 of the extension box from the receiver
(by pressing button 1/2) or by pressing one of the keys on the remote control of one the
units (in this case the VCR or DVD player) for more than 8 seconds. The remote control
must be aimed at the infrared window on the receiver.
Some remote control units may not be able to perform this function. In that case, use key
1/2 on the receiver.

!

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”.

! In all cases the transmitter must be connected to a scart connection that pr

oduces an Audio-

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

! These diagrams show a few connection possibilities whose operation depends on

the devices you have, their sockets and the signals they deliver. There are therefore
other connection setups that you may need to try if the setup shown does not meet
your requirements. In that case, ask your reseller for assistance or contact our
customer service (Helpline).

Le schéma de branchement dépend des appareils que vous possédez. Nous vous
proposons ici un exemple de branchement de l’émetteur dans une installation
comprenant un téléviseur et un autre appareil (lecteur DVD).

Suivez les indications ci-dessous et le schéma ci-contre.
Reportez-vous également au schéma de principe imprimé dans la couverture de
cette notice.

1. Placez l’émetteur (1) à proximité de l’appareil (magnétoscope, lecteur DVD…)

dont vous souhaitez diffuser les images et le son et raccordez-le à l’aide du cordon
mini DIN et du boîtier d’extension (2 A et 2 B). Raccordez le cordon
SCART-Péritélévision (2 C) à la prise 1 du boîtier d’extension.

Avec un cordon SCART-Péritélévision (non fourni), raccordez le téléviseur au
boîtier d’extension (prise 2) déjà branché au magnétoscope ou lecteur DVD.
Le voyant rouge du boîtier d’extension indique que l’émetteur est sous-tension.

2. Déployez l’antenne de l’émetteur (1) avec précaution et orientez-la en direction de
la pièce du second téléviseur (TV2). Mettez en marche (position ON) l’émetteur et
le récepteur à l’aide du bouton ON/OFF situé en dessous et sur le coté. Placez le
sélecteur de canal de l’émetteur et du récepteur sur la même position (même
lettre).

3. Installez le cordon (4) en suivant ces étapes :

- raccordez la fiche jack dans la prise IR EXTEND,

- déroulez le cordon et placez une cellule à proximité de la fenêtre infrarouge de
l'appareil à commander,

- après l’installation du récepteur (voir page 6 et 7), demandez à une personne
d'utiliser la télécommande de l'appareil à commander depuis la pièce où se trouve
le second téléviseur (TV2),

- en déplaçant la cellule devant l'appareil à commander vous pourrez déterminer
l'emplacement qui permet sa commande depuis l'autre pièce. Vous devrez y coller
la cellule. Généralement il s'agit d'une zone transparente plus ou moins grande
située en façade.

4. Enlevez le papier de protection de la partie auto-collante de la cellule infrarouge
du cordon (4) et collez-la sur la fenêtre infrarouge de l’appareil à télécommander.
Le cordon est équipé de 3 cellules afin de vous permettre de diffuser les images et
le son de 3 appareils connectés au téléviseur (TV1) (voir schéma de la page 10).

5. Branchez l’alimentation secteur (3) à l’émetteur et à une prise secteur 220/240V ~
50 Hz.
