Installation

Before you begin the installation:

Turn off your TV and all HDMI devices. Ensure you have enough HDMI cables for all devices and there are enough electrical outlets nearby to power all of your devices.
Position your Transmitter and Receiver up to 100 feet away from each other*. Test the placement for a good signal prior to permanently installing or mounting everything.
For best performance and range, place the receiver where you have a clear view between the Transmitter and Receiver. Do NOT install the Receiver unit behind/below the TV or other metal devices where wireless signal may experience interference. Do NOT install the Transmitter unit behind/below the Media sources, cabinet or other metal devices where wireless signal may experience interference.
Do not block any ventilation openings or install near any heat sources such as radiators, AV receivers, stoves or other devices that produce heat.
The included devices shall not be directly exposed to any liquids.

Transmitter Setup

Connect your source devices to the transmitter’s “HDMI IN” ports with HDMI cables (not included). See IR Blaster section for IR blaster installation (optional)
For Two TV set-up, connect the local TV to the transmitter’s “HDMI OUT” for the loop-through connection.
Connect the power adapter to the DC socket of the transmitter to power up the transmitter. The power LED blinks in blue initially to search for the connection (when the unit is powered off, the LED changes to Red).

Receiver Setup

Connect your TV to the HDMI port of the receiver with the included HDMI cable. Please choose the appropriate “HDMI” input source on your TV.
Connect the supplied power adapter to the mini USB port of the receiver to power up the receiver. If the kit is in the Standby mode (Both transmitter and receiver POWER LEDs are solid red), press the POWER button from either Transmitter or Receiver will turn on the whole kit.
During the boot-up, the POWER LED will blink in blue until the Transmitter and the Receiver are wirelessly connected. This may take up to 20 seconds to establish the connection.

Basic Operation

Turn on your TV and select the HDMI source input to which the receiver is connected.
Turn on your source device and press the SOURCE button on the remote control or on the top of the receiver / transmitter to select the specific source device (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).
The POWER LED should stay in solid blue and you will see the video being broadcasted from your source device. If not, please press “INFO” on the remote control and refer to the on-screen-display (OSD) information below and troubleshooting section.

IR Blaster (Optional)

The Receiver can also send RF signals to the Transmitter. This means that you do not have to point your remote control at your devices as you may be watching TV in a different location. Simply point your device’s remote control at the Receiver side and the Transmitter sends IR commands to other devices allowing you to control your Blu-ray player or settop box remotely.

Plug the IR blaster cable into the IR OUT port of the transmitter.
Refer to your devices’ user manual and locate the IR sensor. Manually move the IR blaster to identify a good position of IR response. Securely place the IR blaster.
When the connection is established, the Transmitter relays infrared commands from your Receiver to devices. You may need to change the IR frequency to meet your devices’ IR specifications. See Troubleshooting for details.

EDID Management
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is the data provided by digital displays to indicate their capabilities to video sources. The Wireless 3D Digital Kit distributes HDMI signals from your video source to two HDMI displays. In order to deliver the best audio and video formats supported by both TVs, the kit reads the EDID information from both displays and determines the “Best Common” video resolutions and audio format to send to the video source to program EDID on the device (i.e. Blu-ray player’s auto resolution setting) In order to output the best common resolution, the kit reads the EDID whenever a TV is plugged in, unplugged, or turned on/off. You will see both TVs flash couple seconds in order to adjust the “Best Common” resolution that all devices can handle. To get the best resolution for a specific TV (i.e. 1080p 3D), you can manually change the resolution from your video source or unplug the lower EDID devices then power cycle the kit and devices. For certain 3D Blu-ray players, you may need to eject and insert the 3D Blu-ray disc. Since your video source is not outputting the best common resolution, one of your TVs may not show any content or play audio only. Please refer to your devices’ user manuals for further instructions

Mounting the Receiver to the Wall
Stud mounting is recommended. Use proper hardware for your wall type (such as anchors for drywall). When in doubt, consult your local hardware store. Please use caution and wear proper protection for your safety.
