INTRODUCTION
Atlona Technologies’ AT-HD-V88M is an 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switcher designed to work as a switcher for multiple Audio/Video sources and displays. This Atlona matrix unit is capable of switching HDMI signals between
eight sources and eight displays. Because it is a matrix switch, any or all of the 8 inputs can simultaneously be
switched to any or all of the outputs. Along with supporting HDMI 1.3, HDCP 1.1 and DVI 1.0, this devise will
support high denition video in multiple resolutions of up to 1080p or 1920x1200. The input EDID of this unit
is independent, allowing each input to switch between the TV EDID or pre-recorded EDID information. With
manual, RS232, as well as IR Remote control options, Atlona’s AT-HD-V88M Matrix Switcher is perfect for all
applications involving HDMI devices, PC monitors, Plasma TV displays and HDTVs.

7.1.1. Troubleshooting:
1. No Video Signal – please try learning EDID see. Page 4 sec. 4
2. No Video on one of the TV’s: Most likely one of the TV’s has a lower resolution capability than others. The
switcher has no ability to scale one output to a lower resolution, therefore the lower resolution settings would
have to be forced on the source. Please switch your DVD Player or another source to the lowest displays optimal resolution. If you don’t want to sacrice the quality on all the TV’
convert the signal from (example: 1080p 720P)
s, Atlona offers HDMI Down Converter to
3. Audio Receiver only shows Stereo or PCM – Most of TV’s are only able to handle Stereo or PCM though
HDMI, therefore if you had learned EDID of the TV, than that EDID mode is being used to send signal to AV
Receiver. You can learn EDID of the receiver (see page 4 sec. 4); however if TV is not able to understand Digital Audio it might “Mute” or output distorted audio.
4. No Signal on any of the TV’s: Make sure the Input/Output cables are working by connecting them to the
sources and displays directly, bypassing the switcher
5. Not All of my sources are HDMI: The solution to it is to contact Atlona for a conversion box to convert any
signal you might have to HDMI. Atlona offers a wide variety of conversion boxes specically designed for application such as this.

There are total of four dipswitches with two types of settings.
When the dip switches are all set to ON/↑ the remote control is able to control all outputs
and all inputs.
(For example, when output A wants to select input 5, Press 1 rst, wait for a second then
press 5. The output display A will display input source 5.
Other settings referring to the below section are output based to control the input selections.
(For example, when all the dip switches are set to OFF/↓ this setting is based on output A
Which means it can only control the input selections. When output A wants to select input 3,
pressing 3 only switches output display A to display input source 3’s contents. )
