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 the 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 an IR
signal from the remote control, if the unit is placed in an area where IR
signal is not in line-of-sight of the source’s remote control.
Note:
If the receiver and transmitter are in the same room, setting
up IR blaster cable is not required.
Step 5A
Get the IR blaster cable
from MyWirelessTV 3 kit. The IR blaster
cable has a black connector.
Step 5B
Plug the IR blaster cable’s
black connector into the Transmit port
on the back of the transmitter.
Step 5C
Remove the adhesive tape from the bottom of the
IR blaster head.
Step 5D
Locate the infrared (IR)
sensor on your source device box, and
mount the IR blaster head on top of the
box over the sensor of the source device.
Step 6A
Get the IR extender cable
(with a green connector) from the
MyWirelessTV 3 kit.
Step 6B
Plug the IR extender
cable’s green connector in to the green
port on the back of the receiver.
Step 6C
Remove the protective covering of
the double stick tape and attach the flat end of
the IR extender cable to the front corner of the
HDTV bezel or frame.
Your HDTVs and cable/satellite box should now be connected as
shown in the diagram on the other side. You can now start enjoying
HDTV anywhere you want it!

Troubleshooting
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Must I connect a TV to the transmitter’s HDMI Out-to-TV port?
No. This step is optional.
I’m not seeing video on the TV that’s connected to the transmitter.
Check the power and connection from the video source to the
transmitter, and the connection from the transmitter to TV.
I’m not seeing video on the TV that’s connected to the receiver.
Check the power and connection from receiver to the TV, and make
sure the correct source input is selected on the TV.
The audio and video on the receiver’s TV seems slower than on
transmitter’s TV.
This is expected since the receiver receives AV transmission from the
transmitter over the air.
How do I control the video source (e.g. cable/DirecTV box)
remotely?
You need to use the same remote control. The control signal is passed
through the air from the MyWirelessTV 3 Receiver to the MyWirelessTV 3
Transmitter, and sent to the video source.
The video quality is poor and sometimes there’s no video display
on the receiver’s TV.
You may need to adjust the orientation of the transmitter and
receiver units, and direct them to be facing each other. You can view
the MyWirelessTV connection strength on the Menu page of the
receiver. To access the Menu page, press the MENU button once on
the receiver.
I cannot control the source device with its remote control, via the
MyWirelessTV 3 Receiver OR the source device is slow to respond
to the remote control.
Make sure the IR blaster cable is connected to the transmitter’s IR
Transmit port, and the sensor is mounted directly on top of the
source device’s IR sensor window. Also make sure the receiver or the IR
receiver cable sensor is in line of sight of the remote control.
How do I upgrade the firmware?
Follow the steps for both the transmitter and receiver. Updating the
transmitter will take about five minutes and the receiver will take
about one minute.
Prepare the firmware
1.
On a PC, go to
www.actiontec.com/mwtv3
. Browse to the support
section and download the latest firmware.
2.
Extract the zip file, and copy both MWTV3TX.img and install.img
to the top directory of a USB flash drive.
Upgrade the devices
You must complete all steps for both the transmitter and receiver.
Upgrade order does not matter.
1.
Power off the MyWirelessTV 3 by unplugging the power cable.
2.
Plug the USB flash drive into the USB port of the MyWirelessTV 3.
3.
Press and hold the RESET button and keep holding it while you
plug in the power cable on the MyWirelessTV 3 to turn it on. When
the LINK LED starts to blink red, release the RESET button.
4.
Once the LINK LED blinks orange, the upgrade is complete.
5.
Remove the USB flash drive from the MyWirelessTV 3.
Warning: Do NOT power off the MyWirelessTV 3 or remove the USB flash drive
during the firmware upgrade process.
