3 FINE TUNING YOUR GIGAVIDEO SET
Make sure your A/V equipment is switched on. Switch the receiving TV on and select the A/V
channel (normally found on the "0" or "AV" button). The picture should now automatically
be there, no tuning is required.
The wireless GigaVideo usually works best with the indented faces of the antennas [K] on the
Transmitter and Receiver unit look at one another. Sometimes however distance, reflections
and other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either
Transmitter or Receiver antenna may be necessary to get the best signal.
If still experiencing difficulty, try changing the "ABCD" channel selector [A] and change
channels. Remember though both the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel.
The maximum distance between transmitter and receiver depends on local circumstances, but
on average the distance is up to 30 m, through walls and floors.
If you are not getting any signal at all:
Check that the units are connected to mains and that the Power-switch is in the ON position.
Check that the Channel slide switch [A] on both GigaVideo units is set at the same number.
Check if the receiving TV is on the correct A/V channel. Raise the small black side antenna [J]
to an upright position.
4 THE REMOTE EXTENDER FEATURE
Your Marmitek VideoSender has the ability to transmit infrared signals from your own remote
control from your receiving TV back to the equipment connected to videosender. For example,
you can change channels on your satellite receiver while viewing in another room. Simply
point your original remote control to the IR window on the front of your GigaVideo Receiver.
The IR signal is now transmitted by radio to the GigaVideo transmitter.
Set up is simple, ideally with 2 people. Locate the mini IR emitter (the only item left now) and
connect the small jack plug on the back of the Transmitter (IR). The thin cable contains three
IR emitters that have a self adhesive back surface. This must be placed over the IR receiving
eye on front of your VCR, DVD and/or Satellite receiver. Normally this area is to be recognized
by a smoked or dark plastic window. Remove the small paper protective label and affix the
emitter very lightly on the facia of your equipment.
Now with your own remote control go to the Video Receiver, point your remote at the front
of the receiver and press the channel change buttons in the normal way.
Now the channel changes, if not, go back to the transmitter and move the sticky back
emitter. The position sometimes is critical. Once satisfied press the emitter firmly on the
suface (this will not damage your equipment).
If you have problems with the range, try to move the receiver and/or transmitter away from
your connected equipment. This can greatly increase performance of the radio transmission.
