Why would I need to change the remote channel?

In some instances, the 8x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 may use IR codes that conﬂ ict with

other IR remote control devices. The unit may switch inputs when another brand IR

remote control is used or the RMT-8IR may cause other brand IR controlled devices

to behave unexpectedly.

I am experiencing the issues listed above. What do I do?

In these cases it is recommended to change the IR channel that the RMT-8IR

remote control and the 8x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 use. The IR channel is conﬁ gured

independently on the RMT-8IR remote control and the 8x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 but

the channel selection must match on both units for proper operation.

How Do I change the Remote Channel?

There are service DIP switches on the RMT-8IR remote control and also inside the

8x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3. Use the diagrams below to locate and change the IR

channel to one that is not the default. Remember that the channel must match on

both the unit and remote control for successful operation.

Remove the battery cover on the rear side of the RMT-8IR remote control

to expose the DIP switches.

The IR channel DIP switches for the 8x1 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 are located on an 4 bank DIP switch on

the underside of the unit. The DIP switch bank is hidden under a piece of silver metallic tape. Remove

the tape and locate DIP switches 1 and 2. DIP switches 1 and 2 on the unit correspond to DIP switches

1 and 2 on the IR remote control. The channel must match on both devices for successful operation. DIP

switches 3 and 4 are not used.
