Powering on your system for the first time
The very first power on/initialisation of the system is crucial to its future operation and performance
The central hub incorporates a small memory. This memory stores the initial handshake
negotiations and authentications between all the connected sources and HDTVs in order to aid
faster switching times between the connected source devices thereon after.
• Power the HDTVs on at the mains. Bring out of standby mode and select the correct HDMI
channel that the receiver is connected to.
• Power on the HDMI source devices at the mains and bring them out of standby mode. (Sky+HD
takes one minute or so).
• Connect the power cable to the central hub and power it on at the mains switch.
• Finally power on the system by using the manual power on switch located on the front panel.
Completing your set up.
• After completing the process above, all HDTVs should be displaying the selected HDMI source
device video and audio. If the source LED stays on 0 and when press the button on the front
panel nothing happens, please go to all the TVs and put them in standby for a few seconds then
switch them back on, you should now be able to select and source input.
Adding new or changing sources / displays to the system
If at any time a connected source device or HDTV is changed to a different HDMI input, or is
replaced with a different model – a factory reset and re-initialisation of the system is
recommended.
To perform the hard reset.
Power down every device connected to the hub – all sources + all HDTVs. Now power down the
central hub itself. Leave off at the mains for at least 10-15 minutes. Finally connect and power on
the central hub again as if doing it for the very first time.
Power consumption
The system is designed to be powered on constantly, using low power consumption. In some
cases when the system has been powered off fully at the mains for over 15 minutes, the process
above may need to be repeated to sync the HDTVs again with the HDMI source devices.
Operating your system
Manual operation
You can operate switching between sources manually by using the up and down buttons labelled
Out 1,2,3 or 4 situated on the central hub front panel. Simply press the up or down button that
corresponds to the TV output that you wish to change HDMI source on the toggle through until the
desired HDMI input source video is being displayed. A numerical LED indicates which HDMI
source input is being shown at each TV location.
Remote Control operation
Included with the system is a small remote control. This can operate the system from directly in
front of the main unit, via the IR EXT cable and also via the IR RX cables connected to the TV
receivers. (sometimes referred to as a ‘magic eye’) Additional remotes are available to purchase.
