CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 4X4 COMPONENT W/AUDIO MATRIX
How to Connect the 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix
1. Connect up to 4 component video/audio sources to the 4x4 Component w/
Audio Matrix inputs using the supplied 5 RCA analog stereo audio cable
Optionally, connect digital coaxial audio to the 4x4 Component w/Audio
Matrix using a user supplied digital coaxial cable.
2. Connect up to 4 component video displays to the 4x4 Component w/Audio
Matrix outputs using user supplied component cables.
3. Connect analog/digital audio outputs on the 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix
to either the component displays or a separate audio receiver.
4. Connect the included 24V DC power supply to the 4x4 Component w/Audio
Matrix.
How to Connect the 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix
Routing of video to displays is done using either the included RMT-16-IR
remote control or the direct select buttons located on the front panel of the 4x4
Component w/Audio Matrix.
Using the RMT-16-IR remote control
The RMT-16-IR remote control uses 16 buttons to select 1 of 4 sources for each
display to view. Each output display has a grouping of 4 buttons allocated for
selecting each source. Use the chart below to route video to your desired display.

IR CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
How to Resolve IR Code Confl icts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls confl ict with the
supplied RMT-16IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate
this issue. The RMT-16IR remote control has a bank of DIP (Dual Inline Package)
switches for confi guring the remote channel that both units use to communicate.
The 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix can be put into a mode that will uses its
front LED array to indicate which remote channel is being used and also give the
user the ability to modify the currently used IR remote channel. These IR channel
settings must exactly match each other for proper operation.
The DIP Switch bank on the RMT-16IR is located underneath the battery cover.

Follow these steps to place the 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix into IR channel
setup mode.
1. Turn on the 4x4 Component w/Audio Matrix.
2. Press and hold the front panel POWER button for 5 seconds to enter the
setup mode (All output LED’s except for Output 1 will be off). The Output 1
LED source indicator (page 4) will display the currently selected IR channel.
The active LED, either 1, 2, 3, or 4, will indicate which IR channel is being
used.
3. Note the IR channel used on the RMT-16IR remote and press the Output 1
selector button to cycle to the IR channel that is being used.
4. Press the POWER button to save the settings and exit the IR channel setup
