Operation

Choosing a Location

You can place the selector on almost any ﬂat surface. For the best results, do not place it on top of a TV or other electrical appliance.

IMPORTANT: If you place the selector on the top of your TV, electromagnetic interference

from the TV might distort the sound from any devices connected to the selector. If this happens, move the selector away from the TV.

Connecting Your Selector

Use stereo audio/video cables with phono plugs (not included) to make all connections. For the best performance, use high-quality audio/video cables. The selector’s color-coded jacks make it easy to connect devices. Yellow jacks are for video, red jacks are for right audio, and white jacks are for left audio.

For convenience, you can tilt the selector forward to access the jacks on the back.

1. Connect each device’s audio outputs to a set of INPUT (1-3) R/L and INPUT 4 (R/L/ RECORD) jacks on the back of the selector, or the R/L jacks on the front of the selector.

2. If a device does not have an S-Video cable, connect its video output to the selector’s

INPUT (1-3) VIDEO and INPUT 4 (VIDEO/RECORD) jacks on the back of the selector or the VIDEO jack on the front of the selector. If the device does have an S-Video cable, connect it to the INPUT (1-3) S-VIDEO and INPUT 4 (S-VIDEO/RECORD) jacks or the S-VIDEO jack on the front of the selector. Note: Do not connect a device’s video output to both INPUT VIDEO and INPUT S-VIDEO.

3. If your TV or monitor does not accept an S-Video cable, connect its video input to the

selector’s OUTPUT 1 VIDEO or OUTPUT 2 VIDEO/RECORD. If the TV or monitor has an S-Video cable, connect it to OUTPUT 1 S-VIDEO or OUTPUT 2 S-VIDEO/RECORD.

Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 12V DC and delivers 300mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must ﬁt the selector’s POWER jack. The supplied adapter meets these speciﬁcations. Using an adapter that does not meet these speciﬁcations could damage the selector or the adapter.

To avoid injury, do not connect the adapter to a ceiling outlet.

Note: Do not connect the TV or monitor’s video input to both OUTPUT VIDEO and OUTPUT S-VIDEO on the selector.

4. Connect the TV or monitor’s audio inputs to the OUTPUT 1 R/L or OUTPUT 2 R/L/ RECORD.

5. Connect the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug to POWER jack, and then connect the

adapter’s AC plug to a standard AC outlet.

Note: To use the VCR, DVD-R or PVR, be sure to connect the VCR, DVD-R or PVR’s output/ input to the selector’s INPUT 4 RECORD/OUTPUT 2 RECORD. When you turn on the

VCR, DVD-R or PVR, the selector switches to that input so you can view the program from a connected TV.

Using Your Selector

The selector is pre-set to auto sensing mode. Turn on the TV and the device you want to view. The selector cycles through all inputs and recognizes the connected device based on

the priority of the front panel input, and then INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, INPUT 4. The

indicator on the front of the selector lights for that device.

If you turn on two devices at the same time, the selector selects the device with top priority

based on the priority of the front panel input, INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, and then INPUT 4.

You can also manually select the desired device by pressing the button on the front of the selector. The selector automatically switches to that input, and its indicator lights.

Note: If you see a blue screen on your TV, or the selector does not switch back to the

previous device when you turn off your VCR, this is normal. To switch back to the previous device, press the corresponding button for that device.

Thank you for buying the RadioShack Audio/

Video Selector Switch. It allows you connect up to ﬁve audio/video devices to your TV or VCR, and switch between them without having to swap cables. Please read this user’s guide before installing, setting up and using your new selector.
