CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4x2 HDMI SWITCHER
How to Connect the 4x2 HDMI Switcher to your devices
1 Connect the supplied cables from the HDTV HDMI sources into the 4x2 HDMI Switcher
inputs.
2 Connect the cables from your displays (monitor or projector) into the HDMI outs of the
4x2 HDMI Switcher.
3 Connect any Digital Audio System into the SPDIF OUT of the 4x2 HDMI Switcher
4 Plug the 5VDC power supply into the 4x2 HDMI Switcher.
How to enable the SPDIF on the 4x2 HDMI Switcher
The SPDIF audio 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 6) to enable the SPDIF audio out. If you are using
both an HDMI and DVI display, make sure you have the HDMI display on
output 1 in order to enable the SPDIF audio out.
How to Control the 4x2 HDMI Switcher
Use the RMT4-IR remote control to toggle between sources.

RMT4-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT4-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 RMT4-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
cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note: The RMT4-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation, the
second battery is complimentary.
The optional IR extender allows you to
relocate your HDMI Switcher and still have
IR control of the HDMI Switcher
