The HDS4 is a passive switch, using high quality gold plated relays to switch signals. Digital audio is switched using highspeed digital electronics. The HDS4 accepts either a Coax SPDIF input, or a Toslink optical input. Both Coax and Toslink signals are made available on the output of the HDS4. Channel selection is accomplished using any user supplied, standard IR remote control. Your HDS4 Purchase Includes: · The HDS4. · A 9v, 500ma A.C. Adapter. · The HDS4 Owners Manual. 3 Using the HDS4 with a Remote Control Operation of the HDS4 is done fully through the use of a universal remote control. A remote control is not supplied with the HDS4, yet the versatile programming modes of the HDS4 allows the HDS4 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Programming your Remote Control" on page 5, describes how to setup your remote controller. After your remote control is programmed the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the HDS4. There are 10 separate remote controlled commands understood by the HDS4. They are: · POWERTOGGLE.The HDS4 can be toggled from standby to power on, and back to standby using a single button of the remote. · SELECTIN1. Select input 1. If the HDS4 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 1. · SELECTIN2. Select input 2. If the HDS4 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 2. · SELECTIN3. Select input 3. If the HDS4 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 3. · SELECTIN4. Select input 4. If the HDS4 is in standby mode, it will power on and then select input 4. · POWEROFF. The HDS4 can be set to standby mode by pressing a single button of the remote. Once the HDS4 is in standby mode, further presses of the POWEROFF button will be ignored. This command is useful when using the "macro" feature of some programmable remote controls, and is used when it is unknown whether the HDS4 is already in standby mode or not. · POWERON. The HDS4 can be powered on from standby by pressing a single button of the remote. Once the HDS4 is power on, further presses of the POWERON button will be ignored. This command is useful when using remote controls that allow "macro" programming, where it is unknown whether the HDS4 is already power on or not. · SETDIMMODE. Toggles through three different bright/dim display modes. They are: Bright all the time. Dim all the time. Bright for 4 seconds after any keypress, and then automatically dim. · SELECT+. Select the next higher input. If input 4 is currently selected, then this command will cause input 1 to be selected. · SELECT-. Select the next lower input. If input 1 is currently selected, then this command will cause input 4 to be selected.

Or alternatively, the HDS4 can learn to use most existing remote controls. The simplest way begin using the HDS4, is to program your remote control to act like a Jerrold Cable Box. Once this is done you will be able to immediately start using your HDS4. Check your remote's user manual for instructions on programming your remote control. The following table shows the Jerrold Cable codes for a few different brands of Universal Remote Controllers: Make Sony One For All Sanyo GE / RCA X10 Zenith / Phillips / Magnavox Device CBL CBL CBL CBL CBL CBL Code 001 0476 303 046 062 552 5 Using Different Remote Codes Using Alternate Component Keys on your Remote The HDS4 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include. Setting up the HDS4 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the alternate components. You must then teach the HDS4 to respond to the alternate component codes. Programming your remote to different components The HDS4 will respond to five different pre-programmed component codes, they are: Jerrold Cable Box, Symphonic TV, Yamaha VCR, Awia DVD and a Nakamichi Receiver. The following table shows the different component buttons and codes used to program a few different universal remotes. Make Jerrold Symphonic Yamaha Awia Nakamichi Device CBL TV VCR DVD RCVR Sony 001 023 040 015 086 One For Sanyo RCA All 0476 0171 0038 0641 N/A 303 104 238 N/A N/A 046 189 009 350 N/A Zenith 552 520 025 N/A N/A X10 062 202 022 N/A N/A If your remote control's model matches one of the above, read your remote's user manual for instructions on programming your remote control, then use the above device and manufacturer codes to setup your remote. If your remote is not included above list, or the manufacturer code given does not work, then you will have to follow your remote controls instructions for programming one of the above components and search for a proper match. See the next section. Or teach the HDS4 a new set of codes, See: "Learning New Remote Codes" on page 8. Teaching the HDS4 a new component code After your remote control has been programmed to act like one of the 5 built in code-sets, teaching the HDS4 to use the new code set is simple. 6 STEP 1 1 2 3 4 1 Place the HDS4 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the HDS4 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the HDS4 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the HDS4 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 On your remote control press the buttons in the following sequence, after each button press verify that the remote IR indicator flashes. (If you make a mistake, you can start over by pressing POWER twice.): · POWER · CHANNEL + · POWER · CHANNEL 3 The HDS4 will power up indicating the new component codes have been accepted. STEP 2 1 2 3 4 STEP 3 1 2 3 4 Searching for a component code in your remote Assuming you do not have a remote listed in this user manual you will have to follow your remote controls programming sequences to find a compatible component that the HDS4 understands, or you can go to the section "Learning New Remote Codes" on page 8, to teach the HDS4 new keys for individual commands. To search for compatible component codes you must place the HDS4 in standby mode and try manufacturer codes in your remote control until one of them causes the HDS4's IR indicator LED to flash. STEP 1 1 2 3 4 1 Place the HDS4 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the HDS4 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the HDS4 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the HDS4 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 Try different manufacturer codes until one of them causes the IR indicator light on the HDS4 to blink when pressing the POWERTOGGLE key. When found, go to back to "Teaching the HDS4 a new component code" on page 6, to teach the HDS4 to use the new component code. STEP 2 1 2 3 4 7 Learning New Remote Codes Teaching the HDS4 to use new remote control keys If your remote does not have one of the pre-programmed component codes, or you simply want to re-map the HDS4 functions to other keys on your remote, the HDS4 can be taught to use new keys. To teach the HDS4 to respond to new keys, you need to have the remote control(s) you want to use ready, and setup in the manner you want it to be used. STEP 1 1 2 3 4 1 Place the HDS4 in standby mode. This is the factory default mode on power up, and if it has not been changed, you can unplug the HDS4 and plug it back in and it will power up in standby mode (at this point only the power indicator light is lit and glowing RED). If the HDS4 does not power up in standby mode, follow the steps given in "Restoring the HDS4 to Factory Defaults" on page 13. 2 Using a pen or pencil, press and HOLD the SETUP button on the back panel of the HDS4 (located near the power jack) for around 4 seconds, until the HDS4 powers up, and the Power indicator on the front panel of the HDS4 begins to blink GREEN. The HDS4 is now ready to accept new remote control key codes. For each of the following steps: · You may press a key on your Remote Control, if accepted, the IR indicator light will blink, and the key will be learned as the new key for the given function. The HDS4 will advance to the next step. · Or you may press and release the SETUP key on the back panel of the HDS4, this indicates to the HDS4 to skip this key, and the whatever key was previously programmed for that function will be retained. The HDS4 will advance to the next key. · Or you may press and hold the SETUP key on the back panel until the HDS4 returns to standby mode. This will end learn mode, all keys already programmed will be remembered, and all the keys skipped will retain their previously programmed values. The HDS4 will advance to Step 13. 3 The Power indicator blinks slowly, and input 1 is selected. STEP 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 STEP 3 1 2 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN1. 1 BLINK 8 STEP 4 1 2 4 The Power indicator blinks slowly, and input 2 is selected. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN2. 1 BLINK STEP 5 1 2 5 The Power indicator blinks slowly, and input 3 is selected. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN3. 1 BLINK STEP 6 1 2 6 The Power indicator blinks slowly, and input 4 is selected. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN4. 1 BLINK STEP 7 1 2 7 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 2 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for POWERTOGGLE. 2 BLINKS STEP 8 1 2 8 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 3 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN-. 3 BLINKS STEP 9 1 2 9 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 4 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SELECTIN+. 4 BLINKS STEP 10 1 2 10 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 5 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for SETDIMMODE. 5 BLINKS 9 STEP 11 1 2 11 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 6 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for POWERON. 6 BLINKS STEP 12 1 2 12 After a pause, the Power indicator blinks 7 times, and repeats. 3 4 Press the key on your remote that you want to use as the new key for POWEROFF. 7 BLINKS STEP 13 1 2 3 4 13 The HDS4 will return to the standby mode indicating a return to normal operations. The newly programmed codes will now operate your HDS4. Remote Control Learning Caveats Some remote control codes will work better than others. We've designed the HDS4 to work with a great majority of remote control codes, however a few brands use non-standard ways of transmitting their remote control codes that may not be compatible with the HDS4. In these somewhat rare circumstances you will have to program your remote control to a different manufacturer code, and/ or use different buttons on your remote. When programming the HDS4, if the IR indicator light blinks, and the HDS4 moves on to the next step, then the r ...
