Installation

Before installation:

Turn off all devices (TV and HDMI sources) before connecting them to the Connect 350 UHD 2.0™. If a device cannot be turned off, please remove the plug from the socket.
Only use High Speed HDMI® certified cables for the best picture and sound quality. Using too much force to connect or disconnect the HDMI cables may damage them.

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI sources (such as game consoles, Blu-ray players and Digital TV Decoders) to the HDMI ports marked “HDMI input”.
Use an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the HDMI port marked “HDMI output”.
If required, connect the IR receiver to the “IR” input in order to continue to operate it when it is positioned out of sight, for example, in a closed cabinet. Remember to position the IR receiver itself within the remote control’s line of sight.
Use the USB power cable to connect the power adapter to the “DC 5V” connector and insert the plug into the wall socket.
Pull the plastic strip from the remote control’s battery compartment to activate the battery and remove the protective film from the top.

Use

Switching between connected HDMI devices
The Connect 350 UHD 2.0™ allows you to choose which HDMI source is displayed on the TV. If you turn on one of the HDMI sources, it will automatically switch to the correct input. If multiple HDMI sources are turned on, the Connect 350 UHD 2.0™ will automatically switch to the HDMI source that was activated last. If you want to select another HDMI source, please use the remote control or the “Select” button on the front.
Note: Automatic switching must be supported by the HDMI source. If it is not supported, you should manually select the appropriate HDMI source.

Frequently asked questions

No (or poor) image and sound
If you experience poor or no picture after connecting the HDMI switcher, please try to identify the problem by connecting the devices to your screen (TV, monitor or projector) one by one. This allows you to determine whether the problem is with the HDMI sources, the HDMI cables, the HDMI switcher or the screen.

For the best picture and sound quality, only use High Speed HDMI® certified cables.
Do not use cables longer than 15 meters, but preferably shorter cables. These reduce the risk of problems.
Check the HDMI cables and/or connectors for damage.
Both the HDMI source and your screen should fully support HDMI.
Check that your HDMI sources and screen support HDCP 2.2 (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copy protection.
