Installation
There are many different ways to configure your TV Jockey, depending on how you want to use
it. Please use the diagrams below and the instructions on the following pages to assist you in your
installation.
NOTE: The INPUT button on the front of the device scrolls through CATV IN (for a connection
to a cable television service), CVBS (for connections that use the yellow VIDEO connector on
the front of the unit, like VCRs and some game consoles), S-VIDEO IN (for connections to SVideo sources like some DVD players, game consoles or camcorders), and PC to switch back to
computer input (from the VGA port).
When powered, the TV Jockey will default to TV mode using the input method you have
selected. To switch to monitor view, you can either power off the TV Jockey (using the
POWER button on the right-hand side of the unit or the button on the remote) or use the INPUT
button on the top right-hand side of the TV Jockey or on the remote until the computer monitor
image is displayed on the screen.
