2.3. Connecting the MyWirelessTV Receiver You should install the Receiver near the HDTV monitor where you intend to watch the content being streamed from the source device. 1. Get the Wireless HD Video Receiver, HDMI cable and power supply. Go to the TV that you want to connect. 2. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into an HDMI port on the HDTV monitor. 3. Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI Out to TV port on the back of the Receiver. 4. Plug the connector of the power cord into the 5V DC / 2A port on the back of the Receiver. And plug the AC adapter of the power supply into a power outlet. 5. Verify that the POWER LED on the Receiver is SOLID green. 6. Wait for a bit as the Receiver connects to the Transmitter. The LINK LED should show SOLID Green once they're connected. 7. Turn on the TV and switch the source to the HDMI input that the Receiver is connected to. You should see content being streamed from the source device. 2.4. Setting up IR Control The IR Blaster Cable connects to your Wireless HD Video Transmitter. The IR Blaster can receive IR signal from your source device's remote control over MyWirelessTV network, and emits the IR signal to control the source device. Thus, you can control the source device from wherever the TV and Wireless HD Video Receiver are located. The IR Receiver Extension Cable extends the IR receiver of the Wireless HD Video Receiver. Thus, it allows the Receiver to receive IR signal from the remote control, if the device is placed in an area where IR signal is not in line-of-sight of the source's remote control. Use of this cable is optional. Note: If the Receiver and Transmitter are in the same room, setting up IR Blaster cable is not required. 2.4.1. Connecting the IR Blaster Cable The IR Blaster cable receives the source device remote control signal from the Receiver and delivers it to the source device. 1. Get the IR Blaster cable from the MyWirelessTV kit box. The IR Blaster cable has a black connector. 2. Plug the black connector of the IR Blaster cable into the IR Transmit port on the back of the Transmitter. 3. Locate the Infrared (IR) sensor on your source device box. 4. The IR Blaster head comes with a hook-and-loop fastener. Detach the loop strip from the fastener, and peel off the release liner of the adhesive tape. Stick the loop strip near the Infrared (IR) sensor on your source device. 5. Mount the IR Blaster head by attaching the hook and loop strips together. 7
