EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL SETUP USING THE AV CONTROL CENTER 2
The AV Control Center 2 has been designed to connect up to 6 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 AV Control Center 2.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
1) Connect the AC Power Adapter to the AC 9V IN located on the rear panel of the AV
Control Center 2.
2) Connect the desired output of the AV Control Center 2 to your television, using the
SCART, S-Video or RCA Phono Cable supplied.
Note: If you are using the S-Video Cable as the video output, you will need to connect
the RCA Phono Cable (White and red) to the TV/Hi-Fi in order to receive audio. S-Video
connectors do not carry an audio signal.
3) Connect your AV devices to inputs 1 to 5 ensuring the power is switched off on all
devices before connecting.
4) Switch on your TV and select the “External” input channel. (Refer to your television
user guide for more details).
5) Switch on the AV Control Center 2 either by pressing the Power / Standby Button
on the front of the AV Control Center 2 or by using the Remote Controller. The Power
/ Standby LED will illuminate green when the unit is on.
6) The first Input Indicator to illuminate will be Input 1. You can select other Inputs by
pressing the SELECT Button located on the front of the AV Control Center 2 or by
using the Remote Controller.
PROGRAMMING THE INPUT CHANNEL DISPLAY
For easy identification of the AV equipment connected to the AV Control Center 2 it is
possible to name each of the 6 inputs on the Input Channel Display. For example should
you wish Input 1 to read ‘DVD’ and Input 2 to read ‘GAME’, follow this setup procedure:
1) Using the Select Button on the front panel, select the desired Input Channel (1-6)
that you would like to name.
2) Open the access cover on the front of the AV Control Center 2.
3) Press the SET Button to begin to change the name. The first character on the Input
Channel Display will begin to flash.
4) Use the + and - buttons to cycle through all the available characters. When the
desired character is displayed, press the SET Button to select the character and
move to the next. Repeat the process until you have achieved your desired name.
5) Once you have selected the 5th character the name will be stored and assigned to
your chosen Input Channel.
Repeat the above procedure for each Input Channel you wish to name.

WHICH CABLE DO I USE?
Depending on the type of output available from your AV device, use the most suitable
cable connection from the ‘Input Connection Table’ below:
NOTE: The AV Control Center 2 is supplied with a standard Cable Pack. You may require
additional cables to set up your chosen AV devices.
OUTPUT FROM YOUR AV DEVICE HOW TO CONNECT
Composite Video and Mono Audio:
Connect the yellow video RCA connector to a
yellow RCA Input Socket and the white audio RCA
connector to a white RCA Input Socket.
Alternatively you can connect the RCA leads to
the SCART Adapter and follow the instructions
for SCART connections.
Composite Video and Stereo Audio:
Connect the yellow video RCA connector to a
yellow Input RCA Socket, the white audio RCA
connector to a white RCA Input Socket and the
red audio RCA connector to a red RCA Input
Socket. Alternatively you can connect the RCA
leads to the SCART Adapter and follow the
instructions for SCART connections.
S-Video and Stereo Audio:
Connect the S-Video connector to a 4-pin DIN
Input Socket, the left audio connector to a white
RCA Input Socket and the right audio connector
to a red RCA Input Socket.
SCART:
Connect the SCART connector to a SCART Input
Socket.
Note: SCART will normally carry both the
video and stereo audio signals. This is the most
versatile AV connection and is recommended
wherever possible.
SCART and Digital Optical:
Connect the SCART connector to a SCART Input
Socket and the digital optical connector to the
Digital Optical Socket in the same Input Channel.
Remember to remove the dust cap and store
safely for when Optical Socket is not in use.
Ethernet:
Connect the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet Input
Socket.
Note: Your modem must either be a DSL or a
cable modem. Do not use the AV Control Center
2 with a standard telephone modem.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting your modem to the AV
Control Center 2, make sure you have a valid account.
SCART Adapter:
Connect a composite video and mono/ stereo
audio cable to the SCART Adapter and connect
to any SCART Input Socket.
IMPORTANT:
Each input connection will only correspond to the matching output connection except Input 6 (See
below). For example a SCART cable attached to SCART Input 1 can only be viewed via the SCART
Output Socket and cannot be displayed via the S-Video, Composite Video or Stereo Audio RCA
Output Sockets.
INPUT 6: The Composite Video and Stereo Audio RCA Input Sockets on Input 6 link directly to both
the corresponding Output Sockets and the SCART Output Socket located on the rear panel of the
unit. The S-Video Input Socket on Input 6 links directly to the S-Video Output Socket located on
the rear panel of the unit.

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.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Dispose of this product or products contained in this pack in accordance with local and
national disposal regulations.

interfere with the AV device being viewed.
• Check that the connections between AV devices are secure.
BATTERY CARE
Incorrect use of batteries can result in battery leakage or explosion. When using
batteries, be sure to follow these instructions:
• Make sure that the plus and minus terminals of the batteries are inserted in the
correct directions.
• Do not mix old and new or different types of batteries.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable type batteries.
• Remove the batteries when the product will not be used for an extended period of
