Installation and Operation
Before permanently securing the unit for final installation of cabling behind walls or ceilings, test
for proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system. It is recommended that you leave
enough ventilation space to provide sufficient airflow and cooling, especially if you are going to
leave the unit powered at all times.
Pushbutton Control
Your KD-HDSW unit may be controlled via the pushbutton on the front of the unit. Select
your desired input by depressing the “Input Select” button. The front LED indicators (1, 2, 3, 4)
correspond to the input that has been selected.
IR Remote Control
The KD-HDSW can also be operated using the IR remote control provided with your unit. The
KD-HDSW switcher features IR sensors on the front and rear of the unit for reception of the IR
command signals.
