IR CODE CONFIGURATION How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-2IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-2IR remote control and the 2:8 Distribution Amplifier for HDMI have DIP SWITCHES for configuring the remote channel that both units use to communicate. These settings must match each other for proper operation.
