You can also connect the Transmitter to a computer in order to transmit video and/or audio
from your PC. Usually it doesn’t make sense to transmit computer output to a TV for run-
ning computer applications, as the TV’s screen display is not usually good enough to dis-
play the higher resolution computer image (unless you have a plasma or LCD TV - check
manual for more information). However, if you want to watch videos or listen to audio saved
on your PC, displaying them via the TV or listening to audio on a stereo is a nice feature.
The requirement to be fulfilled is that the computer must have a video output that provides
video images suitable for a TV (see your graphic card’s manual) and the operating system
and the drivers for your graphics card must support composite video output.

Output via video output is activated differently depending on your operating system and
graphics card. As there are numerous combinations of these, only general instructions are
provided here. Check the operating instructions for your computer and/or graphics card to
see how you can divert the image to video output.
Close all programs and switch off your computer.
•
Refer to the operating instructions for your PC and follow the instructions for using video
•
output.
Connect the yellow plug on the AV RCA cable to the graphics card’s video output. If your
•
graphics card does not have a RCA output, use a suitable adapter (optional accessory)
Connect the red and white plugs on the Mini DIN AV RCA cable to the appropriate audio output
•
on your PC. PCs usually have 3.5mm stereo jacks, so you can use the adapter supplied.
Connect the cable’s mini DIN plug to a spare input on the Transmitter (AV IN 1 or AV IN 2).
•
Now switch on the Transmitter, the Receiver and the TV, and choose the appropriate AV input
•
on your TV.
Start the PC and wait until the operating system has fully loaded.
•
Go to Properties and continue with Display Properties for the respective operating software.
•
Change settings according your display device or graphics card to enable the video output.
•
Check the relevant operating instructions to see how you should proceed. If all the settings
are correct, the images from the PC will now be displayed on the TV.
NOTE: The differences between operating systems and graphics cards mean that we can-
not guarantee the functionality described in this section, and can’t give further technical
support on PC issues. If you do not get a picture then first connect the graphics card output
directly to the TV to ensure that the PC is actually outputting a compatible signal. Please
