General InfOrMaTIOn

screenCast aV receiver

The receiver should be placed next to your HDTV since you will 

need to connect it to your HDTV via the included HDMI cable.

You can choose to either wall-mount your receiver next 

to your HDTV with the included wall-mount kit, or set 

it on a TV stand or other shelf near your TV.

Hiding it behind your HDTV or out of sight from your viewing 

location is not recommended because the built-in IR receiver 

needs to be able to “see” commands from your remote controls.

General Info on range

ScreenCast AV can reach up to 100 feet (30m) line-

of-sight and approximately 30 feet (10m) through 

barriers like walls, cabinets, and doors.

note: Please remember that every home is different and that 

the ranges above are estimates. Actual range will depend on 

what materials the walls are made out of and other factors.
