CONNECTING THE 2X2 SWITCHER FOR HDMI How to Connect the 2X2 Switcher For HDMI 1. Connect the supplied cable from the HDTV HDMI source into the HDMI input port 1 of the 2X2 Switcher for HDMI. 2. Connect the second HDTV HDMI source to HDMI input port 2 on the 2X2 Switcher for HDMI using a user supplied HDMI cable. 3. Connect the display(s) to the HDMI output port(s)* of the 2X2 Switcher for HDMI using user supplied cable(s). 4.
RMT2-IR INSTALLATION 1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT2-IR remote. 2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position. (See page 6) 3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The side that is not marked must be facing down. 4. Test the RMT2-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button.
IR CODE CONFIGURATION How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-2IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-2IR remote control and the 2X2 Switcher for HDMI have DIP SWITCHES for configuring the remote channel that both units use to communicate. These settings must match each other for proper operation. The 2 DIP SWITCH bank on the RMT-2IR is located underneath the battery cover.
