example of a typical setup using the Control Center 245C
The Control Center 245C has been designed to connect up to seven separate AV devices and output the
Audio /Video signal to a single input on the TV / Hi-Fi. Each device can be selected independently of each
other. Once a device has been connected there is no need to remove any of the cables when selecting an
input. Figure 2 shows a typical AV set up using the Control Center 245C.

troubleshooting
The Control Center 245C fails to turn on:

The Control Center 245C is on, but I do not see a picture from my TV:
• Ensure that the Control Center 245C is connected correctly to your television and that the correct
video input on your TV has been selected (Refer to your TV instruction manual for more information).
• Make sure each AV device is connected to the Control Center 245C correctly.

switched OFF as certain devices emit strong signals, which can interfere with the AV device being viewed.
• Check that the connections between AV devices are secure.

important health warnings
Photosensitive Seizure Warning
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures
or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”
while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness.
Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or
striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.
Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms - children and teenagers are more
likely than adults to experience these seizures.
Taking the following precautions may reduce the risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures:
• Sit further away from the screen
• Use a smaller TV screen
• Play in a well-lit room
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before
playing. We also advise you to take regular breaks of 15 minutes every hour
