Powering your system on for the first time

The very first power on/initialisation of the system is crucial to it’s future operation and performance.

The central hub incorporates a small memory. This memory stores the initial handshake negotiations

and authentications between all the connected sources and HDTVs in order to aid faster switching

times between the connected source devices thereon after.

• Power the HDTVs on at the mains. Bring out of standby mode and select the correct HDMI

channel that the TV Receiver is connected to.

• Power on the TV Receiver.

• Power on the HDMI source devices at the mains and bring them out of standby mode. (NB

Sky+HD takes one minute or so)

• Connect the power cable to the central hub and power it on at the mains switch.

• Finally power on the system by using the manual power ‘on’ switch located on the front panel.

Completing your set-up

After completing the process above, all HDTVs should be displaying the selected HDMI source

device video and audio.

LED indictor lights

On initial power on, all 8 lights on the front panel of the central hub should come on solid blue, then

you should see a blue light for each source and TV that you have active and connected to the hub.

All the numerical LED displays will momentarily read ‘0’ and then change to ‘1’.

If less than 4 HDTVs are connected to the numerical indicator will display a ‘0’ and there will be no

corresponding blue light on the top of the hub.

Blue lights will only appear if devices are connected. Any spare HDMI input ports remain unlit.

Adding new or changing sources / displays to the system

If at any time a connected source device or HDTV is changed to a different HDMI input port, or is

replaced with a different model - a factory reset and re-initialisation of the system is recommended.

To perform the hard reset: Power down every device connected to the hub – all sources + all

HDTVs. Now power down the central hub itself. Leave off at the mains for at least 10–15 minutes.

Finally connect and power on the central hub again as if doing it for the very first time.

Power Consumption

The system is designed to be powered on constantly, using a low power consumption. In some cases

when the system has been powered off fully at the mains for over 15 minutes, the process above

may need to be repeated to sync the HDTVs again with the HDMI source devices.
