The Philips Wireless TV Link SBC VL1100 you have just purchased is manufactured to the highest standards and will give you years of trouble-free use. The Philips Wireless TV Link SBC VL1100 allows you to distribute any kind of video signal (digital or analogue set-top boxes, DVDs, satellite receivers, VCRs etc.) or cable programme (via your VCR) throughout the house without the need for extra wiring, running cables or drilling holes. For example, you can enjoy the freedom of watching Pay-TV or a film from your living-room video recorder on your bedroom TV. The original remote controls of your video sources can be used to control the video sources remotely from your bedroom.
