The MA-5188RX has been tested extensively and found that it doesn’t require external power supply. If 

in rare situation you find it cannot work with the MA-5188, please use any +5V power adapter to plug in 
the power jack and see if it can work. If not, please contact your technical support for further service.

Additional IR remote control and IR blaster cable can be purchased as optional accessories to control 

the HDMI sources located separately.

USB or RS-232 control must be connected either one at a time. Connecting both types of cables may 

cause command confusion.
