VANCO VPW-280755 - Manual (Page 8)

This is accomplished by placing a series of IR Emitters on
source devices you wish to control and IR Receivers at all
output locations you wish to control from to enable the IR
control signal to be delivered via single Cat5e/6/7 cable
connecting the two.
1. At Matrix end: Insert the 3.5mm jacks of the IR TX
Emitters included with the unit into the IR TX Emitter
ports at the rear of the matrix according to input. The
IR signal is added to the HDMI of the input device so, for
example, if the user is watching Blu-ray on input 3, the
IR signal will be directed through the IR TX3 socket to
control the device.
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 that, firstly,
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.
HINT 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.
2. At display end: Insert the IR RX Receiver jack into
the IR RX port of the display receiver baluns, with the IR
receivers themselves placed in clear view on or near the
displays to receive an infrared signal from the remote
handset used to control inputs.
Fasten firmly to the surface to avoid displacement.
ATTENTION 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.
HINT If problems are encountered controlling devices
remotely, check IR TX Emitters and IR RX Receivers are
correctly positioned and connected to sources, displays
and display receivers, with all devices fully powered and
the matrix set to IR call-back enabled and IR TX Switch
mode activated. See COM CTL section for Call-back
