Using the product

Connect both devices using the supplied power supplies with properly wired wall outlets. The respective Power indicator lights up, the devices are immediately ready for operation.
For the intended use of a pair of devices, one device must work as a transmitter and the other as a receiver. The LEDs TX and RX indicate the current device function. If the TX LED lights up, the device is working as a transmitter. If the RX LED lights up, the device is working as a receiver. To switch the device function to the respective other one, press the ‘Switch’.
Connect the HDMI source with a suitable cable to the HDMI In socket of the device, which works as a transmitter. If desired, connect a suitable display to the HDMI Out socket of this device.
Connect one infrared (IR) interface each to the IR sockets of both devices.
Align the IR interface connected to the transmitter, if necessary using the supplied adhesive pad, to the IR sensor of the HDMI source. You can fi nd out where this sensor is located in the operating instructions for the HDMI source.
Connect the RJ45 out socket of the transmitter to the RJ45 in socket of the receiver using a CAT5e or CAT6 cable (max. length 80 m). The TX indicator on the transmitter and the RX indicator on the receiver light up to confirm the connection has been established.
If the audio signals transmitted within the HDMI signal are to be played back via dedicated audio devices, connect them to the Audio Out (analogue) or Spdif Out (digital, optical) sockets using suitable cables.
Connect the HDMI target device to the HDMI Out socket of the receiver using a suitable cable.
Turn on the HDMI devices and start the playback at the HDMI source.
If you want to control the HDMI source with its IR remote control from the location of the receiver, align the IR remote control so that its signals can be detected by the IR interface connected to the receiver.
To send the signal to further receivers, you can connect the RJ45 Out socket on the receiver to the RJ45 In socket on the next receiver. In this way, the signal can be sent to a total of 8 receivers.
