First time setup Your HDanywhere™ system is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. Please note that the HDanywhere™ product warranty does not cover damage due to electrical disturbances. If possible safeguard your equipment by connecting all provided power supplies to an electrical surge suppressor / line conditioner.
TV2 - HDBaseT Receiver TV In order to use any of your source device remotes, the HDanywhere system remote or a universal remote at the TV Receiver locations, ensure that the IR RX cable receiver eye is connected to the 3.5mm jack port (labelled IR RX) on the TV Receiver and positioned in sight of where you would usually like to point your remote control(s).

Once connected the 10/100 Ethernet ports on the TV Receiver will become active with that network connection.

Audio Outputs The Hybrid matrix has separate digital and analogue audio outputs so the HDMI audio can also be enjoyed via older sound systems. The audio track routed via the separate audio outputs corresponds with what HDMI input is selected on TV output 1. (NB both video and audio remain on both HDMI outputs 1 and 2, the audio is not stripped from the HDMI signal).
Operating your Matrix Manually You can operate HDMI source switching manually by using the buttons situated on the Matrix unit front panel. Simply press the button that corresponds to the output that you wish to change HDMI source on and toggle through until the desired HDMI input source video is being displayed.

A separate troubleshooting info sheet may be available for more complex issues. If you do not resolve your issue after reading this, email support@hdconnectivity.com with as much information about your set-up and the...
