Turn the input and destination equipment on and then turn on the MX-6388 Matrix
Switcher.
Note: To realize the full bandwidth capability of the switcher, you must use the highest
quality cables available. Using poor quality cables or cables that are damaged will
degrade the performance of the switcher and may result in an absence of signals
entirely.

OPERATING THE UNIT
The MX-6388 is a special type of device called a Matrix Routing Switcher. A Matrix
Switcher allows any input to be routed to any (or all) outputs whereas a regular routing
switcher only allows the operator to select an input that will be sent to one dedicated
output.
The MX-6388 can be controlled via any of four (4) methods: From the front panel, by use
of the included Infrared Remote Controller, via Ethernet or via the RS-232 functionality.
(See sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 for IR, RS-232 and Ethernet control.)
If you have not done so already, press the Power Switch and observe that the Power
