INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE
PROception starLINK is a wired remote control extender system. It is used where the
outputs from set-top box equipment such as VCR, DVD, satellite and digital receivers,
etc. are ‘piped’ to TV sets in one or more additional rooms. StarLINK facilitates remote
control of the set-top equipment from these other rooms, enabling you, for example, to
watch digital satellite programmes on a bedroom TV with full control of the Digibox.
Basics
In these instructions we refer to the location of the central set-top equipment as the
master location – this is usually the living room or lounge, where the main TV is situated.
Other rooms which receive wired TV signals distributed from the master location are
called extension rooms. The set-top equipment at the master location is referred to as the
source equipment.
These instructions assume that the source equipment is already installed and working
satisfactorily, with good TV signals from the aerials and satellite dish (if fitted).
Single extension room
This starLINK kit contains all the parts (except cable) necessary to install a basic system to
distribute signals from the master location to one extension room with remote control of
the source equipment. (Existing extension wiring can usually also be used.)
Multiple extension rooms
StarLINK can also be used in homes equipped with a PROception starBOX RF hub. The
starBOX system incorporates a special starLINK-compatible distribution amplifier which
allows up to five or ten extension rooms (depending on the starBOX model fitted) to be
connected.
Compatibility
Multi-extension-room remote control with starLINK can only be achieved where a
PROception starBOX is fitted. StarLINK is not compatible with other types of ‘return path
amplifier’ and may not be compatible with amplifier bypass kits from other manufacturers.
StarLINK is a wired infra-red re-emission type of remote control extender and is compatible
with the majority of household sound and vision equipment. StarLINK is not compatible
with UK Digital Cable set-top boxes or with B&O ‘Beolink’.
