ADVANTAGES

Connect350

• Connecting 5 HDMI sources with one cable
  Supports up to 1080P HDTV resolution
• HDMI V1.3 certified by ATC (Authorized Test Centers)
• Meets the HDCP standards (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
• Can be placed out of sight and can still be operated with the remote control when using the external infrared receiver.

HDMI V1.3

Video bandwidth 225 MHz (makes image reproduction of 1080P, 12-bit and 60Hz possible)
- Deep Color 12-bit (billions instead of millions colours, better reproduction of subtle differences in gradation and a higher contrast ratio)
- Dolby TrueHD & DTS HD Master Audio (high quality audio support)
- Lip-Sync (prevents synchronisation problems between image and sound)
- CEC (operate multiple 'CEC' devices with just one remote control).

INSTALLATION

1. Connect the HDMI cable to your screen (TV, monitor of projector) with the "HDMI output" of the Connect350.
2. Connect the HDMI cables from your sources to the "HDMI inputs" of the Connect350.
3. Connect the external infrared receiver to the "IR Extender" input of the Connect350 and mount it somewhere in sight of your remote control. For example up, under or at the side of your A/V centre. This way you can keep operating the Connect350, even when it is located in a closed cabinet.
4. Connect the power adaptor to the power connector of the Connect350 and connect to the mains.

Remark 1:

In most cases the Connect350 operates without power adaptor. Standard all HDMI cables are equipped with a 5V power pin, but unfortunately not all HDMI sources support this functionality. So it depends on your HDMI sources if connecting the power adaptor to the Connect350 is necessary. You can test this by simply disconnecting the power adaptor from the Connect350 and see if it is still functioning properly.

Remark 2:

Use only category 2 HDMI certified cables for the best quality in image and sound.

Battery

Remove the plastic strip from the battery compartment to activate the battery and use the remote control.

USING THE SWITCHER

Switching between the connected HDMI sources

Automatically

When one of the HDMI sources is switched on, the Connect350 will automatically switch to the correct input channel. If multiple HDMI sources are already switched on, the Connect350 will automatically switch to the last HDMI source activated.

Remark: Automatic switching has to be supported by the HDMI source.

With the selection button on the switcher

With the Select button at the top of the panel you can manually switch between the various HDMI sources.

With the remote control

Point the remote control at the external infrared receiver of the Connect350 and press the number that corresponds with the desired HDMI source.

The LED lighting on top of the panel shows which source is selected.

Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS

No (or poor) image and sound

If you experience poor or no image after connecting the HDMI switcher, try to recover the problem by connecting the devices one at the time to your screen (TV, monitor or projector). This way you can determine whether the problem lies with the HDMI sources, the HDMI cables, the HDMI switcher or the screen. HDMI devices which are not tested and certified by ATC (Authorized Test Centers) can cause image and sound problems.

• Check if the power adaptor of the Connect350 is connected and plugged into the mains.
• Use HDMI certified cables of the highest quality (category 2 HDMI certified).
• Do not use HDMI cables that are longer than specified in the technical data.
• Both the HDMI source and your screen have to support HDMI fully.
• Check whether your HDMI sources, DVI device and screen support the copy protection HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

Remote control does not work

• You should point the remote control at the external infrared receiver, not at the switcher.
• Infrared signals have a maximum reach of approximately 10 metres. Try a shorter distance.
• Replace the battery in the remote control, it could be empty.
