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.
