INSTALLING YOUR MX2456RM 6
Step 1. Make sure that the power input is set to the
proper AC voltage for the country of usage.
An incorrect setting may result in unit
damage not covered by warranty.
Step 2. Connect the power cord to the unit and
plug it into the power outlet.
Step 3. Connect the cables from the video sources
and the audio sources (computers, VCR,
etc.) to the input channels and connect the
display devices (monitor or projector) and
the appropriate audio equipment (mixer,
amplifier, etc.) to the outputs. For better
results use shielded, high-quality coaxial
cables.
Step 4. Test all the required switching features. If
you experience difficulties or abnormal
switching, you may wish to reset the unit to
the factory defaults to make sure that you
have not entered an incorrect operation
mode. To reset the switcher, turn the
power ON and OFF. Then turn the power
ON again while pressing and holding the
“RESET” button. After a brief delay, all
LED’s should blink ON and OFF. A
beeping sound will be heard several times
indicating that the switcher has been
factory reset.
Step 5. Verify that the display and audio equipment
operates properly and results in perfect
images and sound.

1. When a button is pressed and released a beeper
will sound once. If a button is pressed and held, a
beeper will sound several times.
2. Default video and audio inputs are selected
simultaneously by pressing and releasing one of
the video input buttons. LED’s that represent
selected inputs on the control panel and
connector board should turn ON.
3. When selecting audio inputs and video inputs
independently, press the AUDIO BREAK AWAY
mode button. If at any time you need to return the
MX2456RM Switcher to the previous mode
position, press the AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode
button.
4. Before setting the VIDEO EQ mode, you must
determine the length of cable that is connected to
each of the video inputs. To select the
appropriate equalization, follow steps a-d below.
a) Select Video Input
b) Press and release the VIDEO EQ UP button
as many times as needed to turn the video
equalizer to the correct position. Each time
this button is pressed, it equalizes for the
next 25 ft of cable. (For equalization of 100ft
of cable, press the button four times; for
cable 150ft, press button six times; and for
cable 375ft, press the button fifteen times
and so on.)
c) To set the selected equalization to memory,
press and hold the VIDEO EQ UP and
DOWN buttons simultaneously for 2
seconds.
d) Repeat step b and c for equalization of any
video input.
5. To set the AUTO ROTATE mode, use the
AUTO ROTATE Up and Down buttons to select
the appropriate rotation time. Video inputs will
rotate as they connect to the output within the
selected auto rotation time. Audio inputs will also
rotate, if AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode was not
previously selected. Equalization is still active.
