    Follow the steps listed below to install the Audio-Video Hub : The Audio-Video Hub is polarity sensitive and works in conjunction with MUXLAB’s VideoEase video baluns. If the Audio-Video Hub is used with baluns which have a signal polarity opposite to that of the Audio-Video Hub, then the signal polarity of the cabling between the hub and the video baluns may need to be reversed.

For example, when using the VideoEase Stereo Audio- Video Balun (500001), the modular cable must use straight through polarity.
