INSTALLATION

Location

Locate the VM1 Video Matrix with the host system
controller and source equipment to facilitate source
and control connections. Locate the VMR1 Receivers
near the video displays in the zones, within 300 feet
(90 m) of the VM1.

Source Assignments

Because the VM1 tracks the source selections made
by the host system, source numbers must match on
both systems. Thus, a DVD player connected to
source 2 on the multiroom controller also connects
to source 2 on the VM1.
Upconverters in the UC and UC2 models provide con-
nections only for sources 1, 4, 5, and 8. Be sure to
assign your S-video and composite video sources on
the multiroom system accordingly.
