Q:
How can I control my source device
from the remote site?
A:
To
control your TV functions remotely, the IR signal transmission must be in proper
line of sight and in effective range. It is important to first correctly locate
the IR sensor of your source device (e.g. VCR/ DVD player/ Satellite/ Cable).
Once you have located the IR sensor, you can establish your IR signal transmission
via the IR mouse or simply with the transmitter.

the IR Mouse properly in front of the IR sensor of the source device within 6
inch range and secure the position with the included Velcro tape.View

Q:
Can I watch two different programs
on two TVs that are connected to the Audio/Video Sender device?
A:
Both
primary and secondary TV have to display the same video program. Once the channel
on either TV is changed, the other TV channel will be changed accordingly. But
the good news is a new Cable TV Sender (Model
number ACS-5820) has been introduced at the end of 2006, which enables you
to watch different channels from sending and receiving TV simultaneously without
interfering with each other.

Q:
I could not see any picture after
I connected my Audio/Video Sender device.
A:
Here
are several things that you can do to quickly resolve this problem:
- Check
to see if your transmitter is connected to the video source (e.g. Set-top box,
DVD player, Computer) and the receiver is connected to the receiving device (e.g.
television, projector).
-
Check for proper connection of your RCA cables. Transmitter must be connected
to source device via "AV OUT", and receiver must be connected to receiving device
via "AV IN".
-
Ensure both transmitter and receiver are turned 'ON' and set to the same channel.
-
Check to see if the television is set to Audio/Video mode when using RCA connection.
Refer to your televisions owner's manual to set the television to Audio/Video
(Aux) mode.

Q:
I have a 5.8GHz telephone system,
will that be a problem?
A:
AVS-5811

problems such as distorted picture, or horizontal hold. There is no telling what
problem may occur due to various models from different telephone manufacturers.
If you have a 5.8GHz phone or any other 5.8GHz system in the same environment
and cannot get good audio/video reception, unplug those systems' power will help
you to determine if they are the root-cause of the interference.

Q:
Does AVS-5811-PAL support PAL-B
standard for India?
A:
AVS-5811
in PAL standard works in all different countries. To be clear, those different
PAL standards are referring to the different channel frequency sequences designed
inside the tuner. That is, each country might have its own channel frequency sequence.

Q:
AVS-5811 power stated as
9v 500mA, is this regulated or unregulated? Does the unit use 500mA exactly or
fluctuate at 300-500mA?
A:
Since
AVS-5811 already has a built-in regulator, the power supply does not have to be
regulated. It is all right to use an unregulated power source. In addition, the
power AVS-5811 uses can fluctuate between 400 mA and 500 mA.
