First Time set up
Your system is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away.
Please note that the product warranty does not cover damage due to electrical disturbances.
If possible safeguard your equipment by connecting all provided power supplies to an
electrical surge suppressor / line conditioner.
Before you connect up your system, please ensure that you complete the following:
• Ensure that any manufacturer HDMI link, HDMI control or CEC protocol settings such as
Samsung Anynet Link, Sony Bravia Link, Panasonic Viera Link etc are switched to “off” on
both the source devices and HDTVs that are to be connected to the system. This setting is
likely to be found in the HDMI menu settings of the devices you are using.
• After you have changed the CEC settings, switch off all your HDMI source devices and
HDTVs and unplug them from the mains.
• Please ensure that you only connect and disconnect HDMI cables while the central hub /
receivers are powered off.
Connecting up your system
• With them off, connect your HDMI source devices to the desired HDMI input ports on the
central hub: 1,2,3 or 4.
• For Blu-ray 3D, ‘High Speed’ HDMI cables must be used (usually under 8m in length).
Passive (not active) HDMI cables over 15m in length are not recommended under an
circumstances.
• Connect your most commonly watched source device to HDMI input 1. It is recommended
that if a satellite HD receiver is being used that this is connected to HDMI 1.
• Now connect the HDMI cables or Cat cabling from the corresponding TV receivers
locations to the TV output ports 1,2,3 or 4.
IR Setup Tips
Position the IRTX approximately 10”/25cm away from the source devices to ensure that the IR
blasters establish a good line of sight view to all source devices and matrix.
When you have a stack of source devices it has been found beneficial to place your sky box
at the bottom of the stack.
Staggering the IRTX has been found to help the IR signals not get disrupted by other source IR
commands .
When using the HDMI adaptor with the HDMI0204M & HDMI0404M make sure its always
switched to IR.
IR Ext Port
You can connect an IR RX cable to the 3.5mm jack port labeled IR ext if you wish to retain IR
control of the hub when its situated in a closed cupboard (with its IR window out of sight of
the IR remote). Position in sight of where you would like to point the remote control.
