OWNER’S MANUAL

(Please read carefully before use)

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the L63AB Audio/Video Source Selector. It is a microprocessor-based
switch box that connects multiple audio/video sources to your TV. It allows you to quickly and easily
select which one you wish to watch, without having to disconnect and reconnect your equipment.

Most TV sets do not have enough inputs to handle the growing number of video products on the market
today. This unit provides up to six inputs and simply connects to the SCART and/or S-VHS socket on
your TV.

A. Features

• Six-input Home Entertainment source control centre

• Complete with infrared remote control

• Built-in amplifier to compensate for transmission loss

• SCART, S-VHS, composite video and stereo audio switching options

• Infrared remote control ‘learn’ facility

• Four inputs have composite video, S-VHS video and stereo audio sockets

• Two inputs have SCART sockets

• Output is via composite or S-VHS video and stereo audio sockets

• Front panel LEDs indicate which channel is selected and standby mode

Versatile Connections

S-VHS video: 4-pin mini-DIN socket
Composite video: yellow phono (RCA) socket
Left audio: white phono (RCA) socket
Right audio: red phono (RCA) socket
SCART: 21-pin SCART (Peritel) socket

Easy To Use

Switch between sources with either the front panel buttons or the unit’s own infrared remote control.
The L63AB Audio/Video Source Selector can also ‘learn’ the infrared red codes from a different
remote control (see Section F).

Expansion

Connect up to six audio/video sources such as DVD players, VCRs, satellite boxes (e.g. Sky), cable
boxes (e.g. NTL, Telewest), digital TV boxes (e.g. Freeview), games consoles (e.g. PS2, X-Box,
GamesCube), camcorders, CCTV cameras, etc.

Picture Quality

Internal amplification minimises signal losses and balances colours for the best possible picture.

Front Panel Indicators

Each of the six source inputs has front panel red LED indicator which lights to show when that source
is selected. The standby LED lights when the unit is switched to standby mode.

B. Source Selector Diagram

This diagram identifies the buttons, functions and connections on the L63AB Audio/Video Source
Selector. While each of the six input connections on the rear panel are labelled for specific sources
(SAT, DVD, etc.) you may, in fact, connect any suitable AV source to any input, as suits your own
specific needs.

Please follow the manufacturers’ recommended instructions for connecting the audio and video outputs
from your satellite receiver, DVD player, VCR, etc.

NOTE: The input labels (SAT, DVD, CATV, VCR, Aux1, Aux2) are for reference only. Any suitable
device may be connected to any input.
