IR setup
If you need troubleshooting or background advice on IR, please go to
www.hdconnectivity.com/support where you can reference our up to date IR
support pages.
Step 1 - Central Hub IR cable set-up
Connect the IR TX emitter cables to the 3.5mm jack ports labelled IR TX 1, 2, 3,
4 on the front panel and position the IR emitter “bud” on the front of the
source, over the IR receiving window on each of the corresponding connected
source devices 1, 2, 3, 4.
(i.e. The IR TX plugged into port 1 is positioned in front of the HDMI source
connected to HDMI input 1)
Step 2 - In-room TV Receiver IR set-up
In order to use any of your source device remotes, the HDanywhere system
remote or a universal remote at the TV Receiver locations, ensure that the IR
RX cable receiver eye is connected to the 3.5mm jack port (labelled IR RX) and
positioned in sight of where you would usually like to point your remote
control(s).
Step 3 – Test basic operation
In order to verify your IR setup, the easiest way is to go to your display device
connected to Output 1 of the central hub. Use the matrix remote to select
source input 1 and then use the remote control for your chosen source 1 to
verify control. Repeat that for each of the other sources connected to the
matrix. If you wish, you can then repeat the process at each of the display
locations you have connected to the system.
When using 2 identical source devices (such as set-top boxes)
The system has discrete IR, so it is possible to have 2 (or more) identical source
devices without annoying IR clashes that would result in the operation of all
identical devices. When using 2 (or more) identical source devices, please take
measures to avoid IR transmission leaks that could cause the other identical
source devices to respond. You can take measures to shield source devices
from the IR being emitted by other source device IR TX emitters by locating
them on different shelves for example if you still have any trouble.
High Speed Internet Connectivity (HDBT Pro only)
This feature of your Modular system comes in response to the popular emergence of
on-demand Internet services (such as BBC iPlayer, online gaming, and social networking) on
Smart TVs. Each Modular Pro TV Receiver has 2 x 10/100 Ethernet ports available that allow a
wired connection of devices requiring a high speed connection to the Internet.
High speed internet connectivity function of the Modular system is enabled as standard when
you connect the Ethernet port to one of the output ports of your broadband router to the
LAN input port on the central hub. Once connected the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the TV
Receivers will become active with that network connection.
