3.0 Checking Package Contents
Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:
- 1332 or 1334 DVI Switcher with Remote Control
- DVI Cable
- 9 VDC AC Adapter
- User Manual
Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact Audio Authority immediately. Have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you call.
4.0 Connecting The Hardware
Please study the panel drawings and become familiar with the signal inputs, output, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present.
5.0 Operating The Unit
Before installation, please make sure all devices to be connected to the switcher have been turned off.
- Connect your DVI display to the switcher's DVI output with a high-quality DVI cable. (Note: some HDMI displays may not perform correctly if the switcher's output signal is converted to HDMI.)
- Connect 2 or 4 DVI sources to the switcher's inputs (total depends on switcher model) with a high-quality DVI cable.
- Plug the 9 VDC power adapter into the rear of the unit.
- Plug the Power Adapter into a working AC outlet.
- Power on all input and output devices.
- Select the DVI source you want to view as explained below.
You can select the inputs you want to access in two ways: front panel push button selection or via the remote control included with the package content.
5.1 Front Panel Push Button Selection
Push button selection is used to select the input to be displayed on the screen. Pressing the button during normal operation will cause the next input position to be selected in sequence.
5.2 Remote Control Selection
Input selection is also possible using the provided remote by pressing the appropriate button.
If you have a problem with the IR control conflicting with other devices, the remote allows users to reconfigure four (A, B, C, D) alternate combinations of IR codes. The default code is A.
Push and hold the IR code button (A, B, C or D) on the remote control panel for 2 seconds. The 7-segment LED display will show the IR code for one second when the new IR code is set.
6.0 Troubleshooting
If the switcher does not appear to be functioning, make certain that all the DVI sources and the DVI capable monitor are functioning correctly by connecting each DVI source in turn directly to the monitor using a cable with a length of 6 feet or less. If the signal is present under those conditions, make certain that the power is present on the switcher. If it is, measure the cable length you are attempting to use between the sources to the switcher and the switcher to the monitor. The cables must be 6 foot long or less. Lastly, inspect the cables and connectors for damage.
6.1 HDMI Displays
The 1332 or 1334 DVI output signal can be converted to HDMI using a cable or converter, but the resulting signal may not be compatible with all HDMI displays.
6.2 Cable Length
If you need to span a distance of greater than 6 feet, purchase Audio Authority's 1351 Repeater which will allow you to extend a cable run up to 40 feet.
6.3 Complex Configurations
Due to the nature of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, and the many types of information that must be passed along the chain of devices, complex configurations involving DVI distribution amps and switchers may not work as expected. Do not use a DVI switcher in the signal path after a distribution amp; this configuration does not work.
If the problem still persists after trying the above suggestions, contact the Audio Authority Technical Service department via email: support@audioauthority.com, or call 800/322-8346 or 859/233-4599.
