As each IR TX port is allocated to an individual HDMI input port, if the user is unable to establish IR control of
the device, care should be taken to check firstly, that the IR emitter and HDMI input ports match (Input 1-TX1,
Input2-TX2 etc.) with plugs secured in correct ports, and secondly, that the IR TX emitter sensors are firmly
attached directly to the front of inputs and covering infrared sensor windows of the source devices.
Some later adjustment may be needed to the location of the sensor to achieve the best performance results -
sometimes moving the sensor to different areas on the source can
improve IR performance.
NOTE: Infrared receiving areas of devices can be located by shining a flashlight onto the front of the device –
the sensor should be able to be seen through the plastic as a small, round object inside.
Insert 3.5mm jacks of IR RX receivers into RX ports, making sure the receivers themselves are placed in clear
view to receive an infrared signal from the remote handset used to control the display outputs.
Setting: For the Matrix to enable two-way IR control
between inputs and outputs, press and hold OUTPUT 1
and OUTPUT 4 together for 3 seconds until ALL output
LED lights flash, signalling the unit is in Two-way IR
Mode.
Repeat the process to disable Two-way IR Mode.
02. At display end: Insert the IR RX Receiver jack into
the IR RX port of the display receiver balun, with the
receivers themselves placed in clear view on or near the
displays to receive an infrared signal from the remote
handset used to control inputs.
Insert the IR TX Emitter jack into the IR TX port of the display receiver balun, ensuring that the emitter sensor
is securely attached to infrared sensor window of the display.
Follow the same connection and positioning for all baluns/displays connected to the matrix.
If all IR TX Emitters and IR RX Receivers are positioned and connected correctly with sources, displays and
display receivers fully powered and the matrix set to IR call-back enabled and IR TX Swicth mode activated,
two-way IR will now be possible.
Note: Misplaced or poorly secured IR Emitters and Receivers may result in intermittent IR control signals
passed to and from the matrix. Check your placement and adjust if
necessary.
ADVANCED OPERATION
Typically, unless alternative methods of controlling the matrix are chosen or problems with device
communication through the matrix encountered, basic operation is all that is required to operate your VPW-
280754. However, the following information on advanced operation will detail how the matrix system can be
configured and for advanced control and settings can be altered or data manually input should such problems
arise, as well as configuring the system for third party control.
