INSTALLING YOUR MX2436RM 

6

Step 1

. Make sure that the power input is set to the

proper AC voltage for the country of usage.
An incorrect setting may result in unit
damage not covered by warranty.

Step 2.

Connect the power cord to the unit and
plug it into the power outlet.

Step 3.

Connect the cables from the video sources
and the audio sources (computers, VCR,
etc.) to the input channels and connect the
display devices (monitor or projector) and
the appropriate audio equipment (mixer,
amplifier, etc.) to the outputs. For better
results use shielded, high quality coaxial
cables.

Step 4.

 Test all the required switching features. If

you experience difficulties or abnormal
switching, you may wish to reset the unit to
factory defaults to make sure that you have
not entered an incorrect operation mode.
To reset the switcher, turn OFF power and
then turn power ON again while pressing
and holding the “RESET” button. After a
brief delay, all LED’s should blink ON and
OFF. A beeping sound will be heard
several times indicating that the switcher
has been set to the factory preset position.

Step 5.

Verify that the display and audio equipment
operates properly and results in perfect
images and sound.

For additional assistance, please refer to the FAQ
Section or the Troubleshooting Guide.
