Followingthesetipsduringtheinstallationprocesswillhelpguaranteeasuccessfulinstallation.

• Test every cable before use.

 Alwaystestcablesbeforeuse.Field-terminatedcablesshouldbecheckedforcontinuityafterterminationtobe

suretheconnectorswereinstalledcorrectly.

• Label each cable as it is installed.

dateandimmediatelyknowwhatisconnectedwhere.

• Complete the System Layout Chart (page 26) in the back of the manual during installation.

What is EDID? EDID, or Extended Display Identication Data, is a stream of information sent from a display to a

source when the two devices are connected to tell the source what video and audio formats the display can use. This

prevents sources from outputting media that won’t work with the display.

output 720p.

Note: There is a possibility that 720p may not work for a very small number of older displays that may still be in use. It

will be necessary to use a Learned EDID from the display to store in the Input EDID of any sources that will be

routed to that display if 720p is not supported. See Section 8.5. EDID Learning on page 18 for directions to set

a learned EDID.

Note: To use Matrix Control from Room, it is recommended to program a universal remote control with discrete commands

for matrix control to keep in each zone, rather than using the included IR remote or commands learned from it.

available IR codes and drivers for IR remote programming.
