It is important that the remote IR channel selected on the remote, matches the IR channel set on the Gefen 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI 1.3. For example, if both DIP switches on the IR remote are set to IR channel 0 (toward the “1” and “2”), the Gefen 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI 1.3 must be set to use IR channel 0.

See page 14 on how to change the IR channel on the Gefen 8x8 Crosspoint Matrix for HDMI 1.3.
