INSTALLATION

1. Use high quality low-loss cables (RG-6 recommended) for all A/V connections. For runs in
excess of 10 feet, use low-loss RG-6 coax. Runs in excess of 150 feet are not recommended.

2. The HD16D power should be switched on and off at the same time as the source equipment. It
is recommended to use Xantech’s 680 AC Switcher to power synchronize all components. This
will keep the video and audio signals at the same level.

Cascade HD16D’s to Create Multiple Outputs

One HD16D can distribute up to seven outputs. Additional outputs can be created using daisy­chained HD16D’s connected to the built-in Active Expansion output. The application diagram shows
two HD16D units cascaded to create up to 13 outputs. With the HD16D, distribution capacity is
virtually endless.
