TV CONNECTION
IMPORTANT:
One advantage of the VAIL Cast is that it allows you to listen to audio from your
TV through the speakers connected to the VAIL Cast. Most new TVs have a "fixed" audio output.
That means that while the remote for the TV will control the volume on the TV it will not raise,
lower or mute the audio output (optical or digital) from your TV. To control the volume on your
TV you will need to learn the IR commands from your TV remote into the VAIL Cast as described.
Step 1. Connect your TV audio to the VAIL Cast. If it is an optical output on the TV, use an optical
audio cable and connect to the OPTIC input on the VAIL Cast. If it is an analog audio output connect
the audio output to the jack marked LINE on the VAIL Cast. The LINE jack is a 3.5mm stereo input.
Step 2. To control volume via an Infrared TV remote, connect the included IR receiver to the plug on
the back of VAIL Cast. If you plan to use an IR receiver not supplied, it MUST BE 3 volts. Once the
IR receiver is connected follow the steps below using the remote of the TV/source you have the VAIL
Cast connected to.
1. Press and hold down VOLUME UP and MUTE buttons simultaneously on VAIL Cast for 5
seconds to enter IR learning mode until OPT led blinks purple.
2. Once CAST led blinks white, point the remote control to the VAIL IR receiver and press
VOLUME DOWN on your remote control 3 times, then press VOLUME DOWN on VAIL Cast 3
times. OPT led will blink purple as confirmation that VOLUME DOWN has been programmed.
3. Once OPT led blinks white, point remote to the VAIL IR receiver and press MUTE on your
remote control 3 times, then press MUTE on VAIL Cast 3 times. OPT led will blink purple as con-
firmation that MUTE has been programmed.
4. Once AUX led blinks white, point remote to the VAIL IR receiver and press VOLUME UP on
your remote control 3 times, then press VOLUME UP on VAIL Cast 3 times. OPT led will blink
purple as confirmation that VOLUME UP has been programmed.
After Completing the above steps, please test to make sure the commands are working with the
source operating.
