A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR’s owner’s
manual from more information.
If the video color, contrast, or brightness is poor:
•
You can adjust these settings in Preferences. Select from the mini app or
from the Windows Start Button, the tray icon, or by right clicking on the
main ShowTime application screen with your mouse.
If the sound or video is poor, or there is interference:
•
Try locating the VT37A Sender away from the PC and/or its monitor.
•
Try changing the channel on both units. Do this by adjusting the
CHANNEL slide switch on each unit to any position (A, B, C, or D).
•
Try different positions for the antennas on the Sender and Receiver.
Normally the flat faces on each antenna should point at each other.
Sometimes, due to reflections, you might get a better picture with the
Receiver’s antenna pointing to the ceiling.
•
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to
the Receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fields can distort the
signal. Try to keep the Receiver as far away from other devices as the
RCA or Coax cables allow. In most cases, relocating the Sender or
Receiver a few feet is enough to avoid the source of interference.
•
Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing
devices, such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless
LAN, wireless speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc.
•
Other 2.4 GHz devices can distort the Sender's picture and/or cause
buzzing in the audio. If you are experiencing interference between the
ShowTime Sender and some other equipment that uses 2.4 GHz, check
the other device's owner’s manual for the frequencies of each channel
that it uses. The Photo Sender uses the following frequencies: Channel
A: 2.411 GHz, Chan B: 2.434 GHz, Chan C: 2.453 GHz, Chan D: 2.473
GHz. We recommend using a frequency on the other device that is
farthest from channel A or D, depending on which side of the band the
other device is transmitting. Otherwise you will need to discontinue use
of the device while using the Photo Sender.
