Multi-sources video sender

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Metronic multi-sources video sender is designed to send to a

distant TV set the sources (satellite, Freeview, DVD,…) connected

to the transmitter. Thanks to the embedded remote extender, you

can remotely control the sources with their original remote control.

For example, you can bring the remote control of your satellite

receiver to your bedroom making it possible to watch the satellite

and change channels from the distant location.

The pack contains :

1 - A transmitter. It sends the audio-video signal from the sources

to the sender located in a distant room.

2 - A receiver. It gets the RF signal from the transmitter and sends

it to the secondary TV through a provided scart lead.

3 - A 8-buttons remote control. The 4 buttons on the top (SEC)

allow to choose, from the main TV, which source is sent to the

receiver. The 4 buttons on the bottom (PRI) allow to choose

which source is sent to the main TV.

4 - A 4-buttons remote control. Allows to choose, from the

secondary TV, which source is sent to the secondary TV.

5 - An infrared (IR) «garland». Brings to the sources the infrared

signal of their original remote control when used from the

distant TV. The garland has 4 «beads», 3 for the devices, and

1 for the main TV.

6 - Adhesive patches to fix the beads on the front panel of the

sources.

7 - AC/DC adapters (x 2)

8 - Scart leads (x 2) to link the transmitter to the main TV and the

receiver to the secondary TV.

9 - RF lead (option)

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE / WARNINGS

The device (including the AC/DC adapters) may not be exposed to

dripping or splashing and no object filled with liquid, such as vases,

must be put on the device.

The frequency of the RF signal used to carry the audio-video

information is the same as the frequency used by microwave ovens

and other wireless transmissions such as Wi-Fi. The frequency used

for the remote extension is also used by miscellaneous wireless

equipmentʼs like alarm systems and many home appliances. In case

of malfunction, try to switch OFF the other wireless equipmentʼs.

If someone in your neighbourhood uses the same video sender, it

may interfere with yours. Try another of the 4 allowed channels.

As soon as you stop using the video sender, you have the legal

responsibility to switch off the transmitter by pressing the power

button on the front panel.

Generally, the video senders donʼt feature any tuner. So, if your

satellite receiver is tuned on a given channel, you may not watch

another satellite channel on the secondary TV. However, thanks

to its fully independent switching matrix, This multi-sources video

sender allows to watch any source on the distant TV and any other

source on the main TV.

Each remote control need a AA battery (not provided). In respect of

both the environment and the law, donʼt throw the used batteries in

the bin. Bring them back instead in the shop where you should find

a container for recycling.

In case of thunderstorm, disconnect all your equipmentʼs from

the mains, they might suffer from damages not covered by the

warranty.

INSTALLATION

1 - Install the batteries in the remote controllers taking care of not

inverting the polarity.

2 - Unplug all the scart leads connected to the main TV and

hook them up to the relevant socket of the transmitter. It

may happen that several devices use the same scart lead.

For example, a scart lead may run from the VCR to the SAT

receiver, and from SAT receiver to TV. In that case, leave

the first link between VCR and SAT, and plug only on the

transmitter the scart from the SAT receiver. See the paragraph

called «serial connection» for more details

3 - Connect your main TV to the transmitter thanks to the

provided scart lead.

4 - Install the transmitter as high as possible, avoiding mirrors or

metal shelves that stops the RF waves.

5 - Plug one of the AC/DC adapters to the rear of the transmitter.

Setting up the transmitter

7 - Push on the « « button of the transmitter, the red light

the signal from the default source. Usually, this is done by

pressing the 0/AV key, or EXT, or AUX,… In case of problem,

please refer to the user manual of your TV.

9 - By pressing each one of the 4 bottom buttons (PRI) of the

provided remote control, check that you can see any of the

connected sources.

Installing the remote extender

SERIAL CONNECTIONS

If you have more than 3 devices to connect to the main TV, the 3

scarts for DVD, SAT and VCR wonʼt be numerous enough. So, we

advise you to use the serial connection for devices featuring a VCR

scart. For example, you can connect your VCR on your TV by pas-

sing through the satellite receiver. This serial wiring (example with

3 devices) is shown on the picture below :

You must be aware that

- The picture quality worsens each time a device is passed

through. You should then use this technique for 2 or 3 devices

only.

- To let the signal pass, some devices may required to be

switched on.

on the source in question on and press the relevant key on the 8-but-

tons (PRI) remote control. The picture and sound are now available

on the main TV, and the related LED lights red. If itʼs orange, it means

use the buttons located on the transmitter. Press the PRI/SEC button

until it lights red and press the button for the source.

To watch a source (DVD, SAT, VCR) on the secondary TV, switch on

buttons remote control. The picture and sound are now available on

the secondary TV. On the transmitter, the related LED lights green. If
