USER GUIDE

1. Make sure your input AC voltage conforms to the adaptor specifications.
2. Only use the power adapter provided with the AR-1913.
3. With direct line-of-sight, the maximum range of A/V signal transmission can reach up to 60m and this distance would be shortened by obstacles or walls placed between the transmitter and receiver. (The optimum indoor range is under 25m)
4. To ensure good infrared remote control operation, aim your remote control at the I/R sensor window on the AR-1913 and press the buttons firmly. (With some remote controls it may be necessary to press and hold each button for about a second). The working angle of the I/R Sensor Window is +/- 15 degrees. (see Pictures 7,8)
5. The remote controller has to be used within the distance of (from remote control to receiver ) no less than 0.3m and no more than 5m (working angle +/- 15 degrees). (see Picture 9)
6. Be sure the ON / OFF switch on both the transmitter and receiver is in the OFF position before making any connections.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

No picture or sound

a) Check the power on/off switches on the Transmitter, Receiver and TV
b) Make sure the power plug and signal cables are pushed all the way in.
c) Check if the channel of the transmitter & receiver are set to the same channel.
d) Make sure that all cables are connected as per the user guide
e) Check if there is any discontinuity inside the cable.
f) If you use S-Video connection, your TV set must be set to “S-Video” mode

Interference & noise

a) Adjust the receiver antenna direction for optimal performance. (see Pictures 5, 6)

b) Adjust the transmitter antenna direction for optimal performance. (see Pictures 5, 6 )

c) Check if the supplied voltage matches the adapter specification
d) Select a different microwave channel by sliding the channel button on both the transmitter and receiver. (see Picture 4 )

e) You can also vary the transmitter / receiver position for optimal performance.
f) If the distance between the receiver and transmitter is less than 10m, do not open the round antenna as the signal could be too strong to obtain a sharp picture.

1. Not Synchronized
2. Screen unlocked
3. Noisy line across the screen

a) Adjust the receiver antenna direction for optimal performance. (see Pictures 5, 6)
b) Adjust the transmitter antenna direction for optimal performance. (see Pictures 5, 6) Note: Antenna does not rotate freely 360°. Rotating past the point where resistance is felt will result in permanent damage to the device.
c) Check if the supplied voltage matches the adapter specification.
d) Select a different microwave channel by sliding the channel button on both the transmitter and receiver. (see Picture 4)
e) Move the transmitter and receiver closer. If the problems remain, please contact your reseller for help

Remote control extender does not work

1. To ensure good infrared remote control operation, aim your remote control at the I/R Sensor Window on the receiver and press the buttons firmly. (With some remote controls it may be necessary to press and hold each button for about a second).The working angle of the I/R Sensor Window is +/- 15 degrees. (see Pictures 7,8,9)
2. Check the path between the transmitter & receiver and clear any unnecessary obstructions.
3. Make sure the IR extender mouse is pointing toward the sensor of the device precisely.
4. Check if the batteries on the remote control are fully charged. Replace with new batteries if necessary.
5. The optimum indoor operating range is within 15m.
