RMT-16IR REMOTE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

Why would I need to change the remote channel?

In some instances, the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI may use IR codes that conflict with other IR remote control devices. The unit may switch inputs when another brand IR remote control is used or the RMT-16IR may cause other brand IR controlled devices to behave unexpectedly.

I am experiencing the issues listed above. What do I do?

In these cases it is recommended to change the IR channel that the RMT-16IR remote control and the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI use. The IR channel is configured independently on the RMT-16IR remote control and the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI but the channel selection must match on both units for proper operation.

How Do I change the Remote Channel?

There are service DIP switches on the RMT-16IR remote control and also inside the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI. Use the diagrams below to locate and change the IR channel to one that is not the default. Remember that the channel must match on both the unit and remote control for successful operation.

RMT-16IR Remote Control

Remove the battery cover on the rear side of the RMT-16IR remote control to expose the DIP switches.

8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI

The IR channel DIP switches for the 8x4 CAT-5 Matrix for HDMI are located on an 8 bank DIP switch inside of the unit and on its main-board. To open the unit, remove all screws on the underside and side of the unit. Remove all HEX screws on the rear panel. This includes the screws above each HDMI port and on each side of the RS-232 serial communications port. Carefully slide the unit apart. Locate DIP switches 3 and 4. Once adjustments are complete replace all screws and.
