Setting The Infrared Return Channel For Using Remote Control - Marmitek MEGAVIEW70 User Manual

7. SETTING THE INFRARED RETURN CHANNEL
FOR USING REMOTE CONTROL
An infrared receiver is supplied with this set. This receiver can be placed between the TV and
the antenna signal. The receiver receives the infrared signal from your remote control and
sends this signal through the antenna cable back to the MegaView70 modulator.
With the supplied IR extension cable you can change this back into an infrared signal and pass
it to the device connected. This way you can operate this device (for instance a DVD-player)
from another room.
Connecting the infrared return channel is easiest if you do this together with another
person.
TV1
1. Connect the supplied IR extension cable to the side of the modulator (6). The IR LED has
a self adhesive backside. Remove the protection sheet and carefully stick the IR LED on
the IR sensor of your A/V device. This IR sensor can be recognized from the dark colored
synthetic window.
TV2
2. Disconnect the antenna cable, which can be found at the back of your TV. Connect this
to the 'In'-connector of the IR receiver (metal housing) (7).
3. Connect the 'To TV'-side to your TV (8). If necessary you can use the supplied adapters
(F-connector to IEC).
4. Place the black housing of the IR receiver (with the infrared receiver in it) so that it is in
sight of your remote control when you are using this (9). Avoid direct sunlight or light from
a plasma- or LCD-screen.
5. Connect one of the supplied power adapters to the IR receiver (metal housing).
6. Now point your remote control at the IR receiver and press a button to change the channel
or function. The device connected should now respond. If not, move the IR receiver a bit
and try again. The position of the IR LEDs can be pretty precise.
7. As soon as this functions properly you can stick the IR LED firmly to the device. This will
not damage your device.
You can switch the MegaView70 modulator on and off (to save power) by pressing the switch
on the IR receiver for a few seconds. No image will be visible at the channel you chose and
the LED display will show "- -". To switch the modulator on again you have to repeat this
action.
Tips:
When you want to operate your devices from multiple TVs, you can purchase extra infrared
receivers (chapter 8).
