2. Make sure all equipment is powered off. Insert and extract cables carefully
with the power SWITCHED OFF. Connecting and disconnecting while the
unit is powered can result in damage to the equipment.
3. Connect up to 4 sources such as a Blu-Ray player, a media player, a game
console, an A/V Receiver, a Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc., to the HDMI
inputs on the unit. Note that high-quality HDMI cables are recommended.
Respect cable distance specifications.
4. Connect the HDMI output ports to high-definition displays such as an
HDTV or an HD projector that uses HDMI inputs. Note that high-quality
HDMI cables are recommended. Respect cable distance specifications.
5. For power, plug in the Matrix Switch power jack first, and then plug in the
power supply to the wall. The unit automatically turns on, and is read for
operation.
6. Power on each device in the same sequence. At this point each display
connected should display the assigned source (input 1 at default when
powered on initially), scroll through each of the sources on each display to
ensure everything is in working order. Use the front panel display and
keypad, or included IR remote to test the switching function. If a display is
having difficulty receiving the HDMI signal, access the display’s menu
and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is displayed).
