The Super IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the splitter, from any display connected using the Super IR adapters at each display. There are two important things to note when setting up the IR system: 1.

IR ADAPTER The Super IR Adapter is needed for each display connected. Plug in the Super IR Adapter in between the HDMI cable and the display. The Adapter features a jack to plug in the Super IR Receiver. This allows the IR signal to travel through the HDMI cable, into the splitter, and then out of the IR Blaster.
4. If you are still encountering issues, attempt the “hot-plug concept. With all of the HDMI cables disconnected, turn on the source and plug in the HDMI cable into it’s output, then power up the Vanco unit and plug the HDMI cable into it’s input, finally turn on the display and plug the HDMI cable from the receiver into it.
If repairs are needed during the warranty period the purchaser will be required to provide a sales receipt/sales invoice or other acceptable proof of purchase to the seller of this equipment. The seller will then contact Vanco regarding warranty repair or replacement.
