Introduction With only one CAT‐5e cable, the AS‐18 lets you extend signals to cover the distance up to 500m (1,650ft). The devices are composed of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is installed near the video signal source, and the receiver is placed near the desired display, up to impressive 500m (1,650ft) away for composite case or YPbPr case in 480i / 480p with digital audio to 400m (1,300ft) away. For composite case, you can send your video with analog stereo audio signal, and for YPbPr case, digital audio in S/PDIF format can be sent through a cost‐effective CAT‐5e cable. ...

Hardware Installation 1. Connect your YPbPr/CVBS/Audio source (such as a DVD player) to the transmitting unit. 2. Connect your display (such as a plasma TV) to the receiving unit. 3. Connect your CAT‐5/5e/6 cable between the transmitting and receiving units. 4. Make sure your CAT‐5/5e/6 cable is tightly connected and not loose. 5. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the receiving unit. 6. Plug in 5V DC power cord to the power jack of the transmitting unit. 7. If a flickering or a blinking image is seen or even worse, not displayed at all, try to adjust the rotary knobs to improve the cable skew. GAIN rotary knobs are designed for gain control, and EQ rotary knobs are designed for equalizing the wave form of the receiving video signal. It is suggested to begin with adjusting the rotary knob of Y EQ to get the input ...
