INTRODUCTION

Your Big Picture™ kit consists of a VGA to Video Converter, a Video Transmitter, a Video Receiver, and a Wireless Mouse Remote. The VGA to Video Converter converts the VGA signals from your PC to Composite Video (the type of signals most TVs will accept) and also passes the VGA signals to your regular PC monitor.

The Video Transmitter converts the video signals from the VGA to Video Converter into a 2.4 GHz radio signal and transmits it (even through walls) to the Video Sender Receiver. The Video Sender Receiver converts the signals back to A/V signals which are fed through a cable to your TV's A/V input jacks.

The Wireless Mouse Remote lets you control your PC from the room where your TV is.

There are just a few simple steps to follow to hook up your Big Picture kit.

BEFORE YOU START

Before you start installing your Big Picture System it is recommended that you read at least pages 10 through 20 of this manual. This will familiarize you with the basic hardware installation. If you follow the steps on these page you will then be able to see a picture from your PC on our TV screen and have basic cursor control from the Mouse Remote. You can then proceed with the rest of the manual and install the Mouse Remote Software for more functionality.

However, if you are eager to get started you can instead launch the installer that comes on the included disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

For Windows 3.x

Insert the Setup Disk or CD into your Floppy or CD drive. Launch File Manager and click on the drive letter for your Floppy or CD drive and double-click on Setup.exe. Follow the on-screen prompts.

For Windows 95.

Insert Setup Floppy or CD into your Floppy or CD drive. Use Explorer to open your Floppy or CD drive and double-click on Setup.exe. Follow the on-screen prompts.

The installer first shows you the screen on the next page. If you click on the first button and click Next, you are guided through

a series of screens that represent the pages in the manual which cover the hardware installation (pages 10 through 20). You can refer to the manual at the same time if you like.

Then if you click on the second button (Video Driver) and click Next you see a series of screens that explain how to set your desktop resolution to 640 x 480 (which is the required resolution for the Big Picture System, see page 20).

Then if you click on the third button (Desktop) and then click Next, you are shown how to set up user profiles. This lets you decide when you boot up whether you want your PC to boot to its normal mode or to the mode you use for the Big Picture System. For example, you could set a profile for the Big Picture that uses larger fonts (that are easier to read on your TV). You could also move your desktop icons away from the edge of the monitor screen so they all show up properly on your TV screen. If you don't do this some icons might be partially off the edge of your TV screen.

Finally when you click Mouse and then click Next, you launch the installer for the Mouse Remote software as described on page 30.

FINE TUNING YOUR VIDEO SENDER

The Wireless Video Sender usually works best with the flat faces of the antennas on the Transmitter and Receiver unit facing each other (see diagram below). Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either the Transmitter or Receiver antenna may be necessary to get the best the signal.

If you are not getting any signal at all: Check that the CHANNEL slide switch (labeled 1 to 4) on both Video Sender units is set to the same number. If you are using coaxial TV connections from the Video Sender Receiver, check that the TV is connected to it is tuned to the same channel as the TV Channel switch on the Video Sender (3 or 4).

THE SIGNAL IS POOR, OR THERE IS INTERFERENCE

Try changing the channel on both Video Sender units. Do this by adjusting the CHANNEL slide switch on the side of each unit to any position from 1-4. Make sure both units are set to the same channel.

RESOLUTION, REFRESH RATE, AND PICTURE ADJUSTMENT

Once you have the VA23A connected to your computer and to the VT24A transmitter, and the VA20A connected to your TV you will be able to see the picture from your PC on your TV screen. Note however that the VA23A only works at 640 x 480 resolution, and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. If you normally use your computer at a higher resolution you will need to change this to use the VK25A system.

To do this (for Windows 95) right-click on our desktop and select properties. Then select settings, choose 640 x 480 and click OK. If a refresh rate setting is offered, make sure it is set for 60 Hz. (Note: an updated driver might be available for your video card from the video card manufacturer's WEB site). It might be necessar y to reboot your computer after changing this setting.

For Windows 3.x

1. Select the Windows Setup icon in the Program Manager.

2. Choose Change System Settings from the Options menu.

3. Select the 640 x 480 driver for the installed video card from the Display pull-down box. Select 60 Hz if available (see above).

4. Select OK to confirm the setting change. At this point Windows will locate the driver (either in the system or on a floppy disk provided with the video card) and then re-start.

Note: if you can't find the driver for your video card, or the selected driver doesn't display a picture on your TV, install the standard Windows VGA driver which should be resident in the system. (Or download the latest driver for your video card from its manufacturer's WEB site).

After you see your PC's picture on your TV screen you can adjust its position up and down, and left and right by pressing the arrow buttons on the VA23A VGA-to-Video converter.

MOUSE OPERATION

The Mouse Remote sends wireless RF signals (from up to 100 ft. away) to the receiver which built-in to the VT24A Video Sender. These signals are sent to the VGA to video converter (VA23A) which passes them on to your PC's mouse port (see diagram on page 10).

To install the Mouse Receiver:

First shut down and turn off your PC. Unplug your mouse and connect the Mouse OUT on the VA23A to your PC’s serial mouse port (use the enclosed adapter if you have a PS/2 port). Plug your existing serial mouse into the socket on the VA23A (use the enclosed adapter if you have a PS/2 mouse). Turn on your PC.

Note: you can only connect a serial mouse to the VA23A if you connect its output to your serial port, or connect a PS/2 mouse to the VA23A if you connect its output to a PS/2 port.

IMPORTANT: You cannot connect the Mouse Output on the VA23A to a PS/2 port while the PC is turned on. If you try this, your PC will not recognize your mouse. You can attach the output to a serial port while the PC is turned on but you will then need to re-boot your computer.

Now you can use the JR20A Mouse Remote as a wireless mouse. You use the mouse pad on the front of the remote to move the cursor around the PC screen, and use the buttons on the back of the remote as the left and right mouse buttons. It’s that simple!

You can, at any time, still use your existing mouse, which always overrides the Mouse Remote.

Using the Mouse Remote to move the cursor around the screen and open and close applications is very easy to do and allows you, for example, to give PC presentations from across the room. However, to take advantage of the advanced features of the Mouse Remote, you can install the software that came with it. This lets you configure the remote’s special function buttons such as PC, WEB, DVD, PHONE, CD, etc. You can configure these buttons to perform special functions such as launching your WEB Browser, for example. If you prefer you can just use the defaults Listed on pages 25 to 27.

MOUSE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Installation for Windows 3.x

Insert the Setup Disk or CD into your Floppy or CD drive. Launch File Manager and click on the drive letter for your Floppy or CD drive and double-click on Setup.exe. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the Mouse Remote software (see pages 8 and 9 also). After the installation is complete you will be given the opportunity to read the README file. Remember to re-boot your computer after installing the software.

Installation for Windows 95.

Insert Setup Floppy or CD into your Floppy or CD drive. Use Explorer to open your Floppy or CD drive and double-click on Setup.exe. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the mouse software (see pages 8 and 9 also). After the installation is complete you will be given the opportunity to read the README file. Remember to re-boot your computer after installing the software. (Note: Windows 95 can support multiple mice).

Configuration

Windows 3.x: click on the “RF Remote Mouse” icon in the control panel or click on the minimized mouse icon on the desktop and select the Configure option from the menu, to bring up a picture of the Remote.

Windows 95: click the remote mouse tray icon and select the “Configure” option from the menu, to bring up a picture of the Mouse Remote. Note: if the tray icon is not present, this indicates that the X-10 driver has not been loaded properly, t ry rebooting or reinstalling the driver.

When the Mouse Remote picture is displayed, moving the cursor around the screen causes programmable buttons or buttons with additional help (setup/X-10/TV/CBL/SAT/VCR) to illuminate. Doubleclicking on these buttons will allow them to be programmed or show additional help. Right-clicking on these buttons will display a pop-up menu offering additional options.

When you double-click on a button the window shown above is displayed.

This window lets you configure the button for what you want it to do. There are 6 different things that you can program a button to do. These are:

Launch, WWW, Multimedia, Edit, System, & Messages.

Launch lets you launch any application you choose from the button.

For example: To set up button number 1 to launch your word processor:

Click on the Mouse Remote icon (on the desktop for Windows 3.x or in the taskbar for Windows 95) and then click on Configure.

When you see the picture of the Mouse Remote, click on the PC key and then double-click on the number 1 button.

When you see the picture on the previous page, click Launch. Clicking on the Launch button on the screen shown on the previous

page displays a window similar to the one below.

The actual window you see depends on what button you clicked and will be different for Launch, WWW, Multimedia, Edit, System, and Messages. In this case you clicked on Launch so you will see the window above. Next click in the File name box and then type in the path and name for your word processor, or browse to find its location. Click OK to exit the above window and then again to exit the window on the previous page . Then close the picture of the Mouse Remote. Now any time you press PC followed by 1 on the Mouse Remote, you will launch your word processor.

WWW lets you go straight to whatever URL you designate (after launching your browser). When you click on WWW you will see a window with a dialog box into which you type the WEB address that you want the button to take you to.

Multimedia lets you control your PC's CD or DVD player, etc. from the button. For example to set up a DVD player: On the Configuration picture for the Mouse Remote, first click on PC, then click on DVD then double click on Play.

When you see the screen on page 29, click on Multimedia. Select DVD Player for the media device and Play for the function. Repeat the above steps for Stop, FF, REW, Pause, etc.

Edit lets you set up any key to perform tasks such as Page Up, Page Down, Tab, Home, Type etc. Type allows to you assign text to a button so that it will be “typed” into any box you place the cursor over. For example you could assign a password to any button and then “type” it into a dialog box with the press of a button when you launch Compuserv e

or America Online,® etc.

System lets you set up any button to maximize, minimize, or resize windows, close applications, shut down Windows,

select the

Windows 95 Start button, etc. Messages This is an advanced feature that will primarily be used by

programmers. It allows application specific information to be directed to the associated Windows application. Refer to the on-line help for more information.

Virtual Keyboard

You can set up any key to launch your e-mail application, word processor, notepad, etc. you can then launch a virtual keyboard. This lets you move the cursor around the screen and press buttons on the virtual keyboard to type text from the Mouse Remote.

To assign the vir tual keyboard to the A-B button for example: Select Configure, click on PC, double-click on A-B and select System.

Then select Virtual Keyboard for the function. Then to use the Virtual keyboard: launch your word processor, e-mail,

etc. then press PC followed by A-B on the Mouse Remote. The picture on the previous page appears on top of your word processor. Move the cursor over each key and click the left mouse button on the back of the Mouse Remote (looking from the front) to press the virtual key. When you’ve finished "typing" press Enter on the Virtual Keyboard to enter the text into your word processor (or whatever other application is on the screen behind the Virtual Keyboard.

Note that the mouse pad and the buttons on the back of the remote are always active, no matter what mode the remote is in (PC, TV, VCR, etc.). Note however that the special function buttons (WEB, PHONE, CD, DVD) are only active after the PC button has been pressed. Note also that the mouse cursor will move faster as you press harder on the mouse pad. It actually has three distinct speeds.

Note also that speed, mouse trails, etc. can be set from the Remote Mouse Properties Sheet in the Control Panel.

Normally you will configure the Mouse Remote’s buttons by clicking the Tray icon (Windows 95) and then clicking Configure. If the tray icon is NOT visible in the system tray (because you closed it) Select Start, Programs, Remote, then Remote Mouse Buttons, to again show the Remote Mouse tray icon. Click the tray icon then click Configure. Alternatively: If the tray icon is NOT visible a Configure button will be available in the properties sheet (in the Control Panel) allowing you to configure the Mouse Remote Buttons from there. If the tray icon IS visible in the system tray there is no Configure button in the Properties Sheet, so the Mouse Remote Buttons can be configured by clicking on the tray icon and then selecting Configure.

There is extensive on-line help available for the Mouse Remote software, so it is suggested that you refer to this help for more details. Note also that information on what each button does is available with the right-click of the mouse.

TYPICAL APPLICATION SCENARIO

Here’s a typical scenario that gives you an idea of what you can do with the power of the Mouse Remote:

Program 10 WEB sites into the numeric keys (e.g. 1 for www.x10.com, 2 for www.orcaweb.com...), then sit back in your armchair and press the PC key followed by the WEB key to launch your WEB browser. Then position the cursor over the URL field and press 1, 2, etc. to go directly to the address and read the latest information from each WEB site. Then using the channel up and down keys and volume up and down keys as scroll functions page through the site, while listening to a CD that you started playing earlier. After a while, skip back to track 7 on the CD by pressing CD followed by 7. Then return to WEB browsing mode by pressing the WEB key. Later still, as it starts to get dark, press the X-10 key and turn on the living room lights.* Then press the CD key and press pause while you answer the phone. Press the Power button to close your WEB browser and then press the PHONE button that you previously configured to launch Pointcast. you read the latest issue of Wired

.™

X-10 HOME AUTOMATION

ONTROLLERS AND MODULES

The first thing you need to understand is that there are two different devices you need to control your home; Controllers and Modules. Any light or appliance that you want to control is plugged into a Module and that Module is then plugged into a standard AC outlet.

Modules receive commands from Controllers. Examples include the Lamp Module and the Appliance Module. The Transceiver Module is another example of an Appliance Module (although it also doubles as a controller as described below).

Controllers are also plugged into standard wall outlets and send commands to Modules over your existing electrical wiring in your house without affecting your electricity in any way.

The Transceiver Module* works as a controller when it is used with a remote control such as the one included with this kit. When the Transceiver Module receives a command from a remote it sends digital signals over your existing house wiring to a Module which receives the signals and executes the command.

The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to send commands to the Transceiver module. RF signals can go right through walls, so you can use the remote to control lights or appliances from anywhere in your

home. *Note: If you own an X-10 Security System, its Base

Receiver acts as a Transceiver so you don't need to purchase an additional Transceiver to use your Mouse Remote to control your lights and appliances.

HOUSE CODES AND UNIT CODES

UNIT CODE

DIAL

Each Module has a specific address made up of a House Code (red dial on the face of the Module) and a Unit Code (black dial on the face of the Module).

The Controller first sends an address

HOUSE CODE

DIAL

and then a command over the AC wiring. Only the Module with a matching address will execute the command. If more than one Module has the same address, both Modules will execute the command.

Addresses are set on the Module by turning the two dials on the front of the Module to the desired letter and number (using a small screwdriver or a coin). The House Code is selected from the letters A through P, and the Unit Code is selected from the numbers 1 through

16.

INSTALLING X-10 COMPONENTS

RANSCEIVER MODULE

The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency (RF) commands from X-10 remotes to operate a lamp or appliance plugged into it. The Transceiver Module also passes on commands over your house wiring to control other X-10 modules. Note that unlike the Lamp Module you cannot dim and brighten a lamp connected to the Transceiver Module.

You should locate the Transceiver Module centrally in the home for maximum range when controlled by a remote.

1. Set the House

Code to ‘A.’

2.Plug a lamp or appliance into the Transceiver Module.

3. Plug the Transceiver Module into a convenient AC outlet.

Fully extend the antenna. Note: The transceiver responds to Unit Codes 1 and 9.

LAMP MODULE

The Lamp Module (sold separately) may be used to control any incandescent lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for other types of lamp such as fluorescent or energy saving lamps, or lamps which include a dimmer control.

Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or heater to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and/or the appliance and could cause a fire hazard.

1. Set the House Code to ‘A’ and the Unit Code to ‘2.’

2. Plug a lamp into the Lamp Module.

3. Plug the Lamp Module into a convenient AC outlet.

CONTROLLING X-10 MODULES WITH THE MOUSE REMOTE

If you have already installed the Transceiver Module, you can control it and other X-10 modules as follows:

1. Press and release the X-10 button.

2. Use the number buttons to enter the Unit Code number of

the chosen module. (You do not need to enter ‘0’ first for a single digit number.)

3. Press the appropriate button for the function you require (see below).

X-10 FUNCTIONS:

On: CHANNEL + Off: CHANNEL – Bright: VOLUME + Dim: VOLUME – All Lamps On: POWER All Modules Off: MUTE

Note: You cannot dim or brighten an Appliance Module. If the module was off and you press Bright or Dim (VOLUME+ or VOLUME-) this will simply turn the module on.

Tip: After controlling X-10 Modules, press the TV button to return your remote to TV mode. If you forget that the remote is in X-10 mode, next time your press Mute, say when the phone rings, instead of muting your TV, you will turn off all your lights instead!

TO SET THE X-10 SLEEP TIMER

The X-10 Sleep Timer switches off the chosen modules after the preset time.

1. Press and release the X-10 button. Note: The X-10 Sleep Timer will only work under the X-10 button. It will not work for X-10 codes stored under the AUX button.

2. Press and hold TIMER until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release the TIMER button.

3. Use the number buttons to enter the module Unit Code for the module to be turned off (or on).

4. Press the desired function button (e.g. CHANNEL - to turn the module off after the preset time, or CHANNEL + to turn the module on after a preset time).

5. Using the number buttons, enter the sleep time required (1 to 99 minutes).

6. Press ENTER to confirm the setting.

Press X-10, then press the Timer button (blinks once) and hold the Timer button until the LED blinks again.

Note: To cancel a Timer:

CHANGING THE X-10 HOUSE CODE:

The Mouse Remote defaults to House Code A, and in most cases you will not need to change this, unless you are experiencing interference from a neighboring X-10 system.

1. Press and release the X-10 button.

2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily.

Release Setup button.

3. Use the number buttons to enter the number equivalent to the chosen House Code (1=A, 2=B ..16=P).

4. Press the ENTER button to confirm the House Code. The LED turns off.

Note: The House Code you choose must match the House Code on the Transceiver and Modules you are using it with.

USING AN IR MINI CONTROLLER (IR543)

If you already own an IR Mini Controller (Model IR543), you will need to change the X-10 Home Automation code in the remote to use it. The code for standard X-10 RF Home Automation is 013. This code is used for transmitting RF commands to an X-10 Transceiver. The code to control the IR Mini Controller is 014. To change the code:

1. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release the SETUP button.

2. Press and release the X-10 button.

3. Enter 014 to control an IR Mini Controller, or 013 for

standard X-10 RF control. The LED turns off after the last digit entered.

Note: In most cases, you will not need to use an IR Mini Controller to receive commands from the Mouse Remote - the Transceiver Module (or any X-10 Security System) does this for you and has the added advantage of working through walls. It also has the advantage of letting you control up to 16 X-10 Modules - i.e. with a Transceiver when you press 1-6-ON you turn on Module number 16. With an IR543 when you press 1-6-ON you turn on Modules 1 AND 6. The IR543 can only control 10 Modules (1-9 plus 0=10). You cannot control the IR Mini Controller and the Transceiver Module at the same time from the X-10 button, but you can program an IR Mini Controller under the AUX button.
