CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 6x2 HDMI SWITCHER
How to Connect the 6x2 HDMI Switcher to your devices
1 Connect the supplied cables from the HDTV sources into the 6x2 HDMI Switcher inputs.
2Connect the cable from your display (monitor or projector) into the HDMI outs of the
6x2 HDMI Switcher.
3 Connect any Digital Audio Receiver into the Toslink out of the 6x2 HDMI Switcher
3 Plug the 5VDC power supply into the 6x2 HD Switcher.
How to enable the TOSlink on the 6x2 HDMI Switcher
The TOSlink audio out is only enabled if you are using an HDMI source and an HDMI
display, otherwise the source goes into DVI mode by reading the DVI display EDID. If
you are using a DVI display you will have to open the switcher box to access the dip
switches and flip dip switch #2 (refer to page 7) to enable the TOSlink audio out. If you
are using both an HDMI and DVI display, make sure you have the HDMI display on
output 1 to enable the TOSlink audio out.
How to Control the 6x2 HDMI Switcher
Use the RMT6-IR remote control to toggle between sources.

RMT6-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT6-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The
side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT6-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator light
on the remote will flash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not press
multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions will
