place the transmitter & receiver Now you’re ready to find the best places for the transmitter and receiver to reside. Here are some things to consider as you’re deciding where the units should go:
A. For best performance, plug the units directly into AC power outlets. Don’t plug into a surge protector, power conditioner, or GFI-protected outlet — these may interfere with the communication between the units.
B. For best performance, place the receiver and transmitter in the same room. While the units might work in separate rooms, system performance may be limited.
C. Don’t plug into a switchtable outlet. The units should have an outlet that always has current. D. Make sure the IR window is exposed on the receiving unit. This lets you send remote commands to the device connected to the transmitter. If you want to hide the receiving unit, you can use the IR extender. · Note: See the User Guide for IR extender setup instructions.
attaching the stands (Optional): The receiver and transmitter can be positioned vertically, using the stands provided. To attach the stands: Find the two stands and four bracket screws that came in the package. Line up the holes on the stand with the holes on the back of the transmitter or receiver. Insert the screws and tighten. · Note: You can also mount the receiver on your wall using the wall mounting kit that’s included in this package or use the attachable feet to lay it flat. See the User Guide for mounting instructions.
connect the receiver & transmitter A. Connect the receiver to your TV using the included HDMI cable.
B. Connect the transmitter to your signal source (for example, a DVD player or satellite receiver). Use a second HDMI cable (not included).
C. Find an outlet close to each unit and plug them in. D. Turn on both units. The Power switches are on the back panels. The POWER, LINK, and DATA indicators on both front panels light up. This means the units are ready to go.
E. Start playing the DVD or tune to the satellite or cable channel you want to watch. The HD Powerlink System sends high-definition video and digital audio from your source to your display. IMPORTANT: The HD Powerlink system works with progressive scan signals (480p, 720p, and 1080p) only. It does not support interlaced signals, such as 480i or 1080i. Your DVD player or satellite receiver may automatically set the correct kind of output signal. If your picture is scrambled (or if you don’t get a picture), make sure the signal source is progressive scan. See the owners manual that came with your DVD player or satellite receiver if you’re not sure how to set its output.
See your User Guide for information about the following setup options: · Mounting the receiver to your wall · Using IR extenders to control your signal source through the HDP100 · Using the HDP100 with an A/V receiver · Using an HDMI switcher to connect more than one signal source to the HDP100
