Introduction You’ve made the right decision choosing mHub. W ith mHub you can access up to four of your entertainment devices, recordings and on-demand services at up to four HDTVs at the same time. Soon, you will be experiencing high definition entertainment throughout your home.

First time setup mHub is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. Before you connect up your system: ● Ensure that any manufacturer HDMI link, HDMI control or CEC protocol settings (such as Samsung Anynet Link, Sony Bravia Link, Panasonic Viera Link) are switched off on both the source devices and the HDTVs that are intended be connected to system.
Coaxial Audio Connection The mHub receivers come with a built in coaxial output. This gives the the ability to feed audio directly into an amplifier. The use this function, simply connect the cable as shown on the connection diagram above.

Forward IR ports mHub has forward IR ports on the rear of the central hub. These allow IR signals to be sent from the central hub to the individual TV receivers. This feature is for use when integrating with third party control systems. In normal use these ports are not used or required.
Power consumption The mHub is designed to be powered on constantly, using low power consumption. In s ome cases , when the system has been powered off fully at the mains for over fifteen minutes, the four bullet points above may need to be repeated to sync the HDTVs again with the HDMI source devices.
SimplEDID allows you to fix a specific EDID profile internally on the mHub to assist with the connection between the display and source. By ‘fixing’ the EDID you can specify the maximum resolution, 3D functionality and audio output type from the splitter instead of the HDTV dictating what the source should output.

Remote control operation The small remote control shown below is included with mHub. This can operate the system from directly in front of the main unit, via the IR receiver window on the front of the unit also via the IR RX cables connected to TV Receivers, which are sometimes referred to as the 'magic eye' cable.
Troubleshooting Should you encounter a problem when using your mHub a soft power cycle or hard reset of the unit should resolve most issues. To perform the hard reset: Power down every device connected to the central hub: all input sources and all HDTVs. Now power down the central unit itself.
