The Video Sender VS 360/460 permits the relay of an Audio-Video signal from your main set-up to a second television set located in another room and equipped with a scart connection (or RCA/Cinch).The main set-up is the place in which you have chosen to install the majority of your equipment (television set, video recorder, satellite receiver, DVD player,..) you can operate the units from the room with the second television set by using their remote controls, or with a universal remote control. You can play and hear music if you connect the transmitter to a suitable outlet (AUDIO OUT), and the receiver to an amplifier (AUDIO IN) placed in another room. For the link-up you will need to obtain 1 cinch/cinch cable (not supplied with equipment). If you already have a Thomson plasma screen monitor or video projector, the Video Sender will ease your placing of these items where you most want them to be, thanks to eliminating all problems related to long cable runs. en Camcorder A/V Amplifier Video recorder DVD player Video disc player Plasma screen monitor Television set ON ST / AN D BY Satellite/Cable receiver and decoder Video projector 3 NU ENTER ST CE AT SS PO US WE R AU AD TO JUS PC AC T CA RD SO UR CE CANCEL SE LEC T ME VS 360/460 - 9 langues 11/07/06 19:57 Page 4 Installation of transmitter 1. Place the transmitter (1) near the source equipment (VCR player, DVD player, etc.) from which you want to transmit video or audio output, and connect it with the two cords (2 A and 2 B) making sure you respect the color coding of the 3 cinch plugs (red and white for audio, yellow for video). Connect the TV set to a suitable outlet from the VCR player or DVD player (AV1). Obtain a (non-supplied) SCART-TV set connector and connect the TV set to the 2B adapter already connected to the VCR player or DVD player as shown on Page 5 (see item marked * on Page 5). 2. Fit the mains supply lead (3) to the transmitter and plug it into a 220/240 V ~ 50 Hz mains power supply. 3. Carefully extend the antenna of the transmitter (1) and orient it towards the room where your second TV set (TV2) is located. Circular antennas must be oriented so that the surfaces with inscriptions are face to face. Turn on (position ON) the transmitter and receiver, using the ON/OFF switch located on its lower side. Place the channel selectors of the transmitter and the receiver on the same channel (same letter). 4. Fit the lead (4) following these stages: - connect the jack plug to the IR EXTEND socket, - unwind the lead and place one cell near the infrared window of the unit to be operated (video recorder or other), - after installing the receiver (see Pages 6 and 7), ask someone to use the remote control of that equipment item to be controlled from the room where the second (TV2) is located, - by moving the cell around in front of the unit to be operated you will find the location that permits its control from the other room.You must fix the cell in that position. Usually, this will be a more or less large, transparent area located on the front of the unit. 5. Remove the protective self-adhesive film from the infrared cell of cord (4) and affix it to the infrared-sensitive panel of the equipment to be remote controlled.The cordon has 3 cells in order to let you play video and audio from 3 equipment items connected to the (TV1) set (see Diagram 2 on Page 10). 4 VS 360/460 - 9 langues 11/07/06 19:57 Page 5 en DC 6V R AUDIO IN L VIDEO IN IR EXTEND TV1 1 3 220/240V ~ 50 Hz UNITEDKINGDOM EIRE CONTINENTAL EUROPE IR OUT VIDEO IN LEFT RIGHT AUDIO IN DC 12V * B 2 A IR EXTEND DC 6V AV EXTEND VS 360 DC 6V R AUDIO IN L VIDEO IN IR EXTEND 4 5 VS 360/460 - 9 langues 11/07/06 19:57 Page 6 Installation of receiver 1.

THE ANTENNA allows you to transmit and receive audio and video signals over a maximum range of 30 meters in free air environments. Inside a typical lodgment the range will be less because of signal attenuation by building material absorption. !

If you fail to obtain the desired picture on the second television set TV2, select the AV socket, to which the receiver (5) is connected, using the television's remote control. Using a decoder (in France: Canal +,TPS, etc.) on your TV2? To have clear images on your second TV set (TV2), output from the decoder must pass through a VCR player, placed in (AV2) mode or set to the channel number assigned for the encrypted TV channel. Use of a monitor? If your second television set does not have a connection for an outside aerial (terrestrial reception), or if it is a monitor, you will be able to see the channels in the room containing the second television set by selecting those of the video recorder with its remote control. The picture is scrambled? The running of certain equipment (micro-wave ovens, digital telephone DECT, un-shielded acoustic loudspeakers, etc ...) may interfere with signal transmission. Ensure that they are kept away from the transmitter and the receiver or switch them off. · · · 7 VS 360/460 - 9 langues 11/07/06 19:57 Page 8 Improvement of picture and sound You will obtain optimal service operation of your Video Sender by correctly orienting the antennae (A).

Usually, the units are connected in series, the last unit having a free scart connection that you can use for the connection of the transmitter. ! These diagrams represent some connection possibilities the operation of which depends on the type of unit, its sockets and the signals it produces.There exist other connections that you might perhaps wish to try if diagrams 1 to 3 here are not satisfactory. If this is the case, ask your dealer for assistance. ! As a general rule, remember to switch off units not in use. Also, refer to the manufacturers' instructions to see if there are any particularities regarding connection or use. Certain units may need to have their input scart connection "programmed". ! In all cases the transmitter must be connected to a scart connection that produces an Audio-Video signal Out. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for confirmation of this. en 9 VS 360/460 - 9 langues 11/07/06 19:57 Page 10 General information on connections... 1 Transmitter TV1 IR OUT VIDEO IN LEFT RIGHT AUDIO IN DC 6V AV1 VCR AV2 Satellite or Cable decoder (Canal+, Canal Sat,TPS, Premiere,Telepiu,Via Digital...)
