1. Plug IR Transmitter TX into the numbered 3.5mm jack port labelled SOURCE IR (OUT) on
the MHUB. Make sure the number corresponds with the HDMI input the source device is
connected to
2. Place IR Transmitter TX bud (small tear drop part) in front of the IR eye of the source (where
you would normally point the remote to control the HDMI source device). Repeat these steps
for each source device
3. Plug IR Receiver RX into the 3.5mm jack port labelled IR IN on the display receiver
4. Place IR Receiver at or near the display (position it close to where you would usually point
your remote to turn your TV on or off)

3. Plug IR Receiver RX into the numbered 3.5mm jack port labelled DISPLAY IR on the central
hub. Make sure the number corresponds with the display you want to control
4. Place IR Receiver in a visible uncovered position where it is able to receive remote signals
SETTING UP IR CONTROL
This will enable backwards IR control (the most common form of IR control) where IR signals
from a remote in any one of your rooms is sent back to the central hub and sent to your source
device to make it appear as though it is in the same room as you.

TESTING YOUR IR SET UP
The easiest way to verify your IR setup is to go to your display device connected to output b (or
your rst connected output) of the central hub. Use the matrix remote to select source input 1
and then use the remote control for your chosen source 1 to verify control. Do this for each of the
other sources connected to the matrix. If you wish, you can then repeat the process at each of
the display locations you have connected to the system.
MHUB has forward IR ports on the rear of the matrix. These allow IR signals to be sent from the
central hub to the individual TV receivers. This feature is for use when integrating with third party
control systems. In normal use these ports are not used or required. For example, a third party
smart home system such as Control4, Crestron, AMX or RTI can send IR commands to control
devices at the TV receiver location from the location of the central hub.
Working with identical source devices
MHUB has discrete IR, so it is possible to have two or more identical source devices without IR
clashes that result in the operation of all identical devices. When using two or more identical
source devices, please take measures to avoid IR transmission leaks that could cause the other
identical source devices to respond. You can take measures to shield source devices from the
IR being emitted by other source device IR TX emitters by locating them on different shelves, for
example.
