OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE MULTI FORMAT SWITCHER  
When initially powering on HDMI sources, it is important to have the Multi  
Format Switcher for HDMI’s output selected to that source to ensure that the  
EDID is relayed properly.  
Compatible with all HDMI and DVI* displays  
The Multi Format Switcher has a 15-foot limit on how far it can transmit the  
DDC (Display Data Channel) information out of the HDMI output jack to the  
display. Connections to displays at distances longer than 15 feet should use a  
true DDC re-clocking solution such as our CAT-5 based HDMI signal extender  
device (Gefen part number EXT-HDMI-CAT5-MS).  
HDMI/HDCP compliant

RMT-SR-IR INSTALLATION  
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-SR-IR remote.  
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position. (See page 13)  
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 RMT-SR-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.

IR CODE CONFIGURATION  
How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts  
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the  
supplied RMT-SR-IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate  
this issue. The RMT-SR-IR remote control has DIP SWITCHES for configuring  
the remote channel. The Multi Format Switcher must match the remote channel  
set in the RMT-SR-IR remote control. Please see page 10 for instruction on how  
to configure the channel on the Multi Format Switcher. By default, both the Multi  
Format Switcher and the RMT-SR-IR remote control are set to Channel 1.
