Make sure the power switch on the rear panel of the video switcher is in the off po­sition until all connections are made. Plug the power cord into the front panel of the amplifier, then insert the male end into the wall outlet.
If using the SPV-1 with the Bryston SP1.7 insert the RS-232 cable (with the supplied Male to Male adapter). If using with other

control systems (AMX, Crestron etc.) then the supplied cable without adapter can be utilized.
We recommend placing the SPV-1 adja­cent to the SP1.7 Surround Process for ease of connection and performance opti­mization. The RS-232 cable should be no longer than 10 feet (3 meters) to minimize communication errors.
Description
The Bryston SPV-1 Video Switcher (see Diagram page) offers six Composite inputs, six ‘S’ Video inputs and two Component inputs. Each set constitutes an isolated switching path. This feature allows for the parallel connection of Composite Video and S-Video with both outputs active. This is helpful for connecting to composite video recording devices such as (older) VCRs.
Outputs include main (monitor) for Com­posite, S-Video, and Component as well as record outputs for Composite and S-Video. The main outputs have On-Screen Display
(OSD) capability when used in combination with the Bryston SP1.7 surround processor or any other RS-232 control system.
On-Screen Display (OSD) allows set-up and status information from the SP1.7 to be displayed on your video monitor. OSD is only available when using the RS-232 con­trol method.
Infra-Red (IR) control is also offered. The functions are access by the SP1.7 remote control, or by Pronto codes available from Bryston.

BRYSTON SPV-1 VIDEO SWITCH
Front Panel Control and Indicators Power Button: pressing the front panel
power button takes the unit out of stand-by mode and powers up (down) the SPV-1. If the power LED does not illuminate, check that the rear panel power switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
Source Buttons: pressing one of the source buttons will switch the appropriate Composite and S-Video inputs to the Main Outputs. The LED will be green to indicate the selected video path for the main out­puts. Component input selection is accom­plished using the C1 and C2 selector but­tons for component inputs 1 and 2 respec­tively.
OSD (On-Screen Display): pressing the OSD button will change the OSD assign­ment between Composite, S-Video, and

Component in sequence. If the LED is off, OSD is inactive. If the LED is green, OSD is assigned to the Composite output. If the LED is red, OSD is assigned to the S-Video output. If the LED is amber, OSD is as­signed to the component output.
Record/Zone button: pressing this button will indicate the selected record source be­ing routed to the record outputs. The rec­ord LED and Source LED will turn red. When the Record/Zone LED is red, any source (TV, DVD, VCR etc.) can be se­lected for recording using the source but­tons.
Note: the record path of the SPV-1 is sepa­rate from the monitor path allowing you to record one source while monitoring a differ­ent source.
The combination of the Bryston SP1.7 Sur­round Processor and SVP-1 Video Switcher provides for totally seamless integration of all audio and video functions.
The Bryston SP1.7 contains all the RS-232 codes needed to simultaneously control the switching functions of the SPV-1. When the SP1.7 is powered up, an RS-232 command will also power up the SPV-1. When an in­put is selected on the SP1.7 (manually or remotely), it sends a message to the SPV-1 to switch the corresponding inputs to the main and record outputs simultaneously.
The audio path on the SP1.7 does not al­low a separate record path. It is not possi­ble to listen to one source while recording another.
If On-Screen Display (OSD) is desired, this can be toggled on or off by pressing the OSD button on the SP1.7 remote control. The OSD messages will be sent from the SP1.7 to the SPV-1 and displayed on the video monitor. OSD messages are dis­played when changing inputs, changing mode, changing volume, or while using the setup menus.
