Also note: Some HDMI source devices like TiVo set-top-boxes have no easy way to shut them off. The automatic HDMI port selection feature in the WirelessHD transmitter will therefore always select such an always-on source and will always keep the WirelessHD transmitter connected to the receiver. In this case please use steps below. • Manually place the WirelessHD transmitter into sleep mode by pressing the SLEEP button on the included remote control (be sure to point the remote toward the WirelessHD transmitter). • Turn the power switch on the WirelessHD transmitter and receiver to the OFF position. 7 To return the WirelessHD transmitter and receiver from sleep mode to on, perform the following steps: a) Power on the TV or projector, and switch it to the HDMI input with which the WirelessHD receiver is connected. b) Power on the source device you wish to view that is connected to the WirelessHD transmitter. Note: Depending on the brands/models of devices you have connected, the WirelessHD transmitter and receiver may automatically return from sleep mode and re-establish their link. If this does not happen with your devices, use the SLEEP button on the included remote control to manually return the WirelessHD transmitter and receiver from sleep mode. HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) support For best operation, connect sources which are HDMI-CEC capable (DVD, Blu-ray player, and so on) to your WirelessHD transmitter. If your TV is also HDMI-CEC (v1.3a or newer) capable, your TV's OSD (on-screen display) should let you select any of the HDMI-CEC source devices connected to the WirelessHD transmitter adapters on the WVAN. Turning off an HDMI-CEC enabled TV sends a broadcast message to all wired HDMI and WirelessHD source devices, giving them the opportunity to power off automatically (if they support HDMI-CEC and this option is enabled in the device's settings). Similarly, when an HDMI-CEC enabled source device (such as a Blu-ray player) is connected to the WirelessHD transmitter and the WirelessHD receiver is connected to an HDMI-CEC enabled TV, pressing the Play button on the Blu-ray player's remote does the following: • Turns on the Blu-ray player • Establishes a WirelessHD connection from the Transmitter to the Receiver • Turns on the TV • Switches the TV to the proper HDMI input connected to the WirelessHD Receiver, so that the video and audio from the player is seen on the TV Again, proper HDMI-CEC support is required on both the source and the display. Note that the HDMI-CEC standard (Rev 1.4a) supports a maximum of three CEC playback devices that can be directly displayed by name on a CEC-enabled display. If a fourth HDMI-CEC-enabled source is connected to the WirelessHD transmit adapter, it will not show up by name on the HDMI-CEC TV. In this case, the device must be selected using the included remote control or by quick presses (less than 1 second) of the HDMI SW switch on the back of the transmitter until the desired HDMI input is selected. Also note that if your HDMI-CEC TV is capable of displaying the CEC names of your HDMI-CEC sources AND switching between them (using your TV remote via the TV's input selection menu), you should be able to use the TV remote control to switch from your WirelessHD transmitter to other WirelessHD source devices in the same room. However, if your TV does not support changing between HDMI-CEC sources that are connected to a wireless or wired HDMI switch, you will need to power on/off the WirelessHD function on your sources to switch between them. For example, without full TV support for CEC source switching, you may need to power off the Rocketfish WirelessHD transmitter in order to be able to switch to a laptop with embedded WirelessHD. Switching back to the WirelessHD transmitter may require disabling the WirelessHD function on the laptop and will require powering on the WirelessHD transmitter. 8
