Powering on your system for the first time
The very first power on/initialisation of the system is crucial to future operation and
performance. The central hub incorporates a small memory. This memory stores the initial
handshake negotiations and authentications between the source and all connected HDTVs.
●Power the HDTVs on at the mains. Bring out of standby mode and select the correct
HDMI channel that the Receiver unit’s HDMI cable is connected to.
●Power on the HDMI source device at the mains and bring it out of standby mode.
(NB 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 central hub by using the manual power ‘on’ switch located on
the front panel.
If at any time a connected source device or HDTV changes HDMI port number or is
replaced with a different model, a factory reset and re-initialisation of the central
hub is recommended.
To perform the hard reset:
Power down every device connected to the central hub – the source + all HDTVs.
Now power down the central hub unit itself. Leave off at the mains for at least
10–15 minutes. Finally connect and power on the hub again as if doing it for the very
first time.
Completing your set-up
After completing the process above, all HDTVs should be displaying the HDMI source device
video and audio.
The system is designed to be powered on constantly, using a low power
consumption. In some cases when the hub has been powered off fully at the mains,
the process above may need to be repeated to sync the HDTVs again with the
HDMI source device.

Troubleshooting
For the majority of problems that you may encounter when using your multiroom system a
reset of the central hub should resolve any issues.
To perform the hard reset:
Power down every device connected to the Matrix – all sources + all HDTVs. Now power
down the Matrix unit itself. Leave off at the mains for at least 10–15 minutes. Finally connect
and power on the Matrix again as if doing it for the very first time.
ISSUE: No/intermittent picture on HDTV, blocky images or sparkles
Fault finding:
Drop the output resolution of the source device down to 1080i or 720p. If the picture
appears correctly on the HDTV this indicates a bandwidth issue with the HDMI cable run. The
available bandwidth is too low for 1080p transmission.
This can be caused by:
●Poor quality HDMI cabling or internal cable strand breakages caused by poor
production or installation bending/strain/damage.
●HDMI cable distance is too long even for the eyefix chipset to drive
Possible fixes:
●Upgrade to better quality HDMI cable.
●Reduce HDMI cable length
●Add a HDMI Repeater on the end of the long HDMI cable runs to revive the signal
ISSUE: IR remote control not working via extender
This can be caused by:
●IR TX cable and IR RX cable connected the wrong way round on the Transmitter and
Receiver units.
