CONNECTING THE IR
EMITTER
Your Home Network also allows you
to control the A/V source using an ex-
isting remote control. The Home Net-
work receiver sends your remote
control’s IR signal through the phone
line to the Home Network transmitter,
which converts the signal back to the
original IR signal and beams it to the
audio/video source.
If you want to use an A/V source’s re-
mote control to control a source
which is not within “line-of-sight” of
the Home Network transmitter, follow
these steps to connect the Home Net-
work IR emitter.
1. Plug the IR emitter into the
IR
jack
on the back of the transmitter (to
the left of the yellow video jack).
2. Locate the IR sensor on the
source you want to control.
If the sensor is not clearly
labeled, consult the owner’s man-
ual for that component, try point-
ing the remote control at different
areas on the front of the compo-
nent from less than 1 inch away
and pressing ON or OFF. When
the component turns on or off,
you have found the approximate
location of the IR sensor.
3. Position the IR emitter so that it is
within “line-of-sight” of the IR sen-
sors on the A/V sources you want
to control. Cut a piece of the sup-
plied hook-and-loop tape to
secure the emitter In this position.
4. At the remote location, position
the receiver so the remote control
signal can strike the IR window
on the bottom front of the
receiver.
To use the remote control, point it
at the front of the receiver and
press the desired buttons.
CONNECTING THE
RECEIVER
To receive A/V signals on a remote
TV where you will watch the program-
ming from your audio/video source,
you can:
• connect the Home Network
receiver directly to the remote TV
• connect the Home Network
receiver to the TV through a VCR
(so you can record the transmit-
ted audio and video)
Notes:
• The signal indicator on the
receiver’s right face lights to
show that A/V signals from the
transmitter are being received
through the phone line.
• If the remote TV has picture-in-
picture (PIP) capabilities, you can
view any image transmitted by
Home Network, such as your
sleeping baby, in a small inset
picture while enjoying other pro-
gramming on the rest of the
screen. Consult your TV’s man-
ual for instructions.
