Is the source device(s) (PayTV decoder, DVD Player, etc.) switched on?

• 

Are the Transmitter and Receiver both supplied with power and switched on (power lights 

• 

  should be illuminated)?

Is the source device(s) connected correctly to the Transmitter (see pages 6-9)?

• 

Is the remote TV connected correctly to the Receiver (see pages 10-11)?

• 

Are all cables plugged in firmly?

• 

Are  the  source  device(s)  configured  to  the  correct  outputs  (the  ones  the  Transmitter  is 

• 

  connected to – you may need to consult your device manuals)?

Have the Transmitter and Receiver been inadvertently switched? (The Transmitter should be 

• 

  connected to the source device(s) and the Receiver in the remote location).

Is your Receiving TV (in the remote location) set to the correct input channel that the Receiver 

• 

  is connected to (e.g AV 1 - you may need to consult your TV manual)?

Is the volume turned up on your source device(s) and receiving TV?

• 

Is the source device(s) configured to output sound on the outputs connected to the Transmitter 

• 

  (you may need to consult your device manuals)? 

Are the plugs of the AV cables firmly plugged in the connecting sockets of the source device(s), 

• 

  Receiving TV, Transmitter and Receiver?

Are the RCA plugs (Yellow = Video, Red = Right Audio, White = Left Audio) or SCART adapter 

• 

  of the AV cables connected to the correct sockets (see pages 6-11).

The range between the Transmitter and Receiver may have been exceeded (if there are solid 

• 

  brick or a number of walls between the Transmitter and Receiver this will reduce the range of 

  the system).

Is  there  a  metallic  barrier  (e.g.  steel  reinforced  concrete  wall)  between  Transmitter  and 

• 

  Receiver? If so, try relocating the positions of the Transmitter and/or Receiver.
