The HDS4 is a 4 input, Audio / HDTV Video switch. It supplies a single HDTV Component Video output. The HDS4 is a passive switch, using high quality gold plated relays to switch signals.
Digital audio is switched using highspeed digital electronics. The HDS4 accepts either a Coax SPDIF input, or a Toslink optical input. Both Coax and Toslink signals are made available on the output of the HDS4.
Channel selection is accomplished using any user supplied, standard IR remote control.

Operation of the HDS4 is done fully through the use of a universal remote control. A remote control is not supplied with the HDS4, yet the versatile programming modes of the HDS4 allows the HDS4 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Programming your Remote Control" on page 5, describes how to setup your remote controller. After your remote control is programmed the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the HDS4.
There are 10 separate remote controlled commands understood by the HDS4. They are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• POWERTOGGLE.The HDS4 can be toggled from standby to power |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on, and back to standby using a single button of the remote. |

single button of the remote. Once the HDS4 is in standby mode, fur- |

ther presses of the POWEROFF button will be ignored. This com- |

mand is useful when using the “macro” feature of some |
|
|

|
|
programmable remote controls, and is used when it is unknown |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
whether the HDS4 is already in standby mode or not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• POWERON. The HDS4 can be powered on from standby by pressing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a single button of the remote. Once the HDS4 is power on, further |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
presses of the POWERON button will be ignored. This command is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
useful when using remote controls that allow “macro” programming, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where it is unknown whether the HDS4 is already power on or not. |

Before use, the HDS4 requires a Universal Remote control to be programmed to control the HDS4. Or alternatively, the HDS4 can learn to use most existing remote controls.
The simplest way begin using the HDS4, is to program your remote control to act like a Jerrold Cable Box. Once this is done you will be able to immediately start using your HDS4.
Check your remote’s user manual for instructions on programming your remote control.

The HDS4 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include.
Setting up the HDS4 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the alternate components. You must then teach the HDS4 to respond to the alternate component codes.
The HDS4 will respond to five different pre-programmed component codes, they are: Jerrold Cable Box, Symphonic TV, Yamaha VCR, Awia DVD and a Nakamichi Receiver. The following table shows the different component buttons and codes used to program a few different universal remotes.

If your remote control’s model matches one of the above, read your remote’s user manual for instructions on programming your remote control, then use the above device and manufacturer codes to setup your remote.
If your remote is not included above list, or the manufacturer code given does not work, then you will have to follow your remote controls instructions for programming one of the above components and search for a proper match. See the next section. Or teach the HDS4 a new set of codes, See:
"Learning New Remote Codes" on page 8.
After your remote control has been programmed to act like one of the 5 built in code-sets, teaching the HDS4 to use the new code set is simple.
