7. IR Control system
At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX Emitters included
with the unit into the IR TX Emitter ports at the rear of the matrix
according to input. The IR signal is added to the HDMI of the input
device so, for example, if the user is watching Blue-ray on input 1,
the IR signal will be directed through the IR TX1 socket to control
the device.
As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, if
the user is unable to establish IR control of the device, care should
be taken to check firstly, that the IR emitter and HDMI input ports
match (Input 1-TX1, Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured in correct
ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors are firmly
attached directly to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor
windows of the source device . Some later adjustment may be
needed to the location of the sensor to achieve the best
performance results - sometimes moving the sensor to different
areas on the source can improve IR performance.
NOTE: Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located by shining a
flashlight onto the front of the device – the sensor should be able to
be seen through the plastic as a small, round object inside . Insert
3.5mm jacks of IR RX receivers into RX ports, making sure the
receivers themselves are placed in clear view to receive an infrared
signal from the remote handset used to control the display outputs.
