AV Sender Problem

Have bought AEI X2 AV sender and an additional receiver.

Plugged the sender in and the receiver into the downstairs TV (in the extension); all ok (fab'n'groovy). Plugged the additional receiver into the bedroom TV and I cannot seem to get it to work.

The thing that I think might be the problem is that the units aredriven off the AV channel. The TV in the bedroom is a combined TV / VCR (Daewoo) and I can find no mention of an AV channel. Is this because the unit is a combined one and therefore it doen't have a seperat AV channel???

Any help gratefully appreciated.

    It should still have an AV input. Check the remote for an AV or TV/AV button. If not, then use the PR- or CH- button (channel down). AV should be the next input down after channel 1. Hope that makes sense.

    Yeah, tried that. Tried re-tunning all the channels (auto) then tried to tune one channel "0" into it but, no joy.

    Just a thought but my AV sender and receiver have buttons/switches on the bottom which are labelled 1 to 4. All units must be set to the same "channel" to send/receive pictures.

    Yep, checked and double-checked all the basics.

    Anyone else plugged an AV into a combi TV / VCR set????

    You don't have to 'tune' the channel into it, you just select the channel on the handset. AV channels don't have to be tuned, thats the beauty of them. I have a Samsung TV/VCR combi and regularly connect other devices to the AV channel with no problems. There is no AV button on my combi remote so I change down through ITV, BBC2, BBC1, AV. Channel '0' comes after 9 so thats going the wrong way. Do you have a channel change-down button and if so, what channel displays 'below' channel 1?

    our Bush combined TV/VCR has a videosender plugged into the one scart on it. Just select channel 0 or channel down if you are on channel 1 and it picks it up straight away
