IR CODE CONFIGURATION

Why would I need to change the remote channel?

In some instances, the 8x4 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 Matrix for HDMI use. The IR channel is configured independently on the RMT-16IR remote control and the 8x4 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 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.

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