INSTALLING YOUR MX2456RM 6
Step 1. Make sure that the power input is set to the
proper AC voltage for the country of usage.
WARNING: An incorrect setting may
result in unit damage not
covered by the warranty.
Step 2. Connect the power cord to the unit and
plug it into the power outlet. The unit is
now on.
Step 3. Connect the cables from the video sources
and the audio sources (computers, VCR,
etc.) to the input channels and connect the
display devices (monitor or projector) and
the appropriate audio equipment (mixer,
amplifier, etc.) to the outputs. For best
results, use shielded, high-quality coaxial
cables.
Step 4. Test all the required switching features. If
you experience difficulties or abnormal
switching, you may wish to reset the unit to
the factory defaults to make sure that you
have not entered an incorrect operation
mode.
In order to reset the switcher, turn the
power off. Press and hold the RESET
button. Next, turn the power back on and
release the RESET button. After a brief
delay, all the LEDs should blink on and off.
A beeping sound will be heard indicating
that the switcher has been reset.
Step 5. Verify that the display and audio equipment
operates properly and results in perfect
images and sound.

simultaneously by pressing and releasing one of
the video input buttons. LEDs that represent
selected inputs on the control panel and
connector board should turn on.
3. Press the AUDIO BREAK-AWAY button to select
audio inputs and video inputs independently. If
at any time you need to return the MX2456RM
Switcher to the previous mode position, press
the AUDIO BREAK-AWAY mode button.
4. Before setting the VIDEO EQ mode, you must
determine the length of cable that is connected
to each of the video inputs. To select the
appropriate equalization, follow the steps below.
a) Select Video Input.
b) Press and release the VIDEO EQ UP button
as many times as needed to turn the video
equalizer to the correct position. Each time
this button is pressed, equalization is set for
the next 25 ft of cable. (For equalization of
100ft of cable, press the button four times;
for cable 150ft, press button six times; and
for cable 375ft, press the button fifteen times
and so on.)
c) To set the selected equalization to memory,
press and hold the VIDEO EQ UP and
DOWN buttons simultaneously for 2
seconds.
d) Repeat the above steps for equalization of
any video input.
5. To set the AUTO-ROTATE mode, use the
AUTO-ROTATE Up and Down buttons to select
the appropriate rotation time. Video inputs will
rotate as they connect to the output within the
selected auto rotation time. Audio inputs will also
rotate, if AUDIO BREAK-AWAY mode was not
previously selected. Equalization is still active.
