2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.

3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up.
The side that is not marked must be facing down.

light on the remote will fl ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do

How to Resolve IR Code Confl icts

There are matching pairs of dip switches underneath the Switcher unit and under the
remote battery cover. Switch 1 & 2 on the Remote and Switch 7 & 8 underneath the unit
are the matching switches. These switches need to be matched for the remote to
communicate with the switcher. Switch 1 on the remote is linked to switch 8 on the unit,
and switch 2 on the remote is linked to switch 7 on the unit. There are 4 possible sets of
IR codes and at least one of these sets should be able to resolve any IR confl icts with
other home theater devices.
