the power cord into the front panel of the
amplifier, then insert the male end into the
wall outlet.

insert the RS-232 cable (with the supplied
Male to Male adapter). If using with other

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.
