INTRODUCTION 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the HDMI

®

 Switcher. Your satisfaction is very important to 

us. Our series of HDMI

®

 Switchers are designed to make the use of your HDTV equipment more 

comfortable. 

MD-415ARC Switcher can expand HDMI

®

 input of your HDMI

®

 display device up to 4 HDMI 

inputs. The Switcher offers single cable connection solution to TV; instead of connecting 4 HDMI 
cables to your HDTV. You will find this is a useful application when you try to hang a TV on a wall. 

The ARC function provides more convenient A/V application. It enables a TV to send out audio 

data through a single HDMI cable to an amplifier; which can reduce the users’ inconvenience instead 
of connecting an additional cable to amplifier. 

The feature is designed to a SPDIF digital audio output (Coaxial & Optical) so users can easily 

share the digital audio of the 4 source devices by connecting one coaxial or optical audio cable to an 
audio system, which does not support HDMI connection. Moreover, the new added feature of 
supporting 3D video format also helps you enjoy the true 3D content more easily. 

MD-415ARC can support HDMI ARC, 3D, and CEC functions; and compliant with your ARC, 3D, 

and CEC enable devices. You can enjoy the convenience of ARC, 3D, and CEC features without the 
interruption from switch box. 

For the best performance of this switch box, please read this manual carefully and keep it for 

ture reference.
