INSTALL HARDWARE
WARNING:
 Before installation, disconnect the power supplies of all the devices.
 Please use quality cables and accessories specified or provided by the
manufacturer.
 During installation, connect and disconnect cables with caution.
To install DUX-MTX-WP (See Application Example: System Wiring on Page 13):
1. Connect DUX-MTX-WP’s HDMI IN or VGA IN to an HDMI or VGA input source
(e.g. Blu-ray player, game console, satellite/cable TV, media server, etc.) through a
quality HDMI or VGA cable. (AUDIO IN may also be connected when VGA IN is in
use.)
2. Connect DUX-MTX-WP’s HDBT OUT to an HDBT Receiver (e.g. DUX-RX) via a
high-quality CatX cable.
3. Connect an HDMI display device (e.g. TV or projector) to HDMI OUT of the HDBT
Receiver.
4. Connect the included Power Adapter to DUX-MTX-WP.
5. Power on all the devices and start operation.
NOTE:
1) 70m/230ft @4K or 100m/328ft @1080p are maximum transmission distances realizable when
DUX-MTX-WP and other devices are in perfect conditions and the straight cable runs with no
electrical interference, bends, kinks, patch panels or wall outlets, etc. If any of these turns to be
an issue in your installation, transmission distance will be affected.
2) When all set, check the LED indicators of DUX-MTX-WP. For LED indication, please refer to
page 08.
3) DUX-MTX-WP supports one-way PoE and can be powered directly by an HDBT Receiver with
PSE (Power Supply Equipment).

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Why the Link LED is off or blinking?
• Check that all the devices are on.
• Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
• Check that the CatX cable used complies with the recommended specifications.
For more information, see CABLE SPECIFICATIONS.
2. Why the display connected to the Receiver device shows no picture?
• Check that all the devices are on.
• Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
• Check that the Link LED is steady on. For more information, see Q1 above.
• Check that the display works properly, and that the source device has normal
signals output.
• Ensure that the display device supports HDCP.
• Ensure the CatX cable and the HDMI cables used complies with the recommend-
ed specifications. For more information, see CABLE SPECIFICATIONS.
• Check that your display device is switched to the correct source input mode.
• Check that no compatibility issue exists between the Receiver and the display. If
so, replace the display with other models.
• When VGA input source is connected and used, check if the EDID Switch is in the
correct position. For more information, see EDID MANAGEMENT.
3. Why the display connected to the Receiver shows snow or mosaic?
• Check that all the cables are qualified and connected properly.
• Check that Ethernet cables are Cat5e/6 or higher gauge.
• Check that the source input device has no such problem as snow, mosaic or with
a damaged disc. If so, replace with another qualified input source.
