[. . . ] Be sure to install the two AAA batteries in the SRC-1 remote before using. Slide the cover open on the SRC-1 remote in the direction of the arrow and install the batteries as shown inside the unit. Page 5 Typical Hook up This shows a overview of a typical system with the SVC-VA using 4 A/V sources, a TV and Surround system. The outputs of up to 4 devices can feed into the inputs on the SVC-VA. It can then select one of the devices to watch on your TV and/or listen on your receiver. Refer to the diagrams on the next few pages for more detailed connection diagrams. Figure 4, Overview of typical system Step 1 Connect the AC adapter to 120 VAC and plug the DC cord into the 15 v input on the SVC-VA. Power supply Use the 15V DC adapter (included) to provide power for the SVC-VA. The adapter connects to the unit as shown in the diagram at left and plugs into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Step 2 You need to determine how you want to use your system. If you want to watch and listen to the video sources on your TV and / or your surround sound receiver, see figure 5 on page 8. This diagram only shows inputs 1 and 2 being used. Inputs 3 and 4 are connected in the same manner. If you want to be able to watch the video sources on your TV, listen on your surround sound receiver and tape from the sources plugged into the SVC-VA, see figure 6 on page 9. The second output (audio only) goes to the stereo receiver so you can listen to music or surround sound audio using your stereo receiver. Figure 5, Hook-up in typical system Note 1: Use of the S-video output requires TV to have S-video input. Note 2:Connect L&R audio output to hear audio from TV set with stereo receiver off. Note: Remember to always connect the outputs on your VCR/DSS/DVD/etc. Likewise, connect the outputs on the SVC-VA to the inputs on the TV/VCR/Receiver/etc. . Note: If you have one or more devices that are not stereo and have a single audio output, you have two options. 1) Use a "Y" adapter (available from any electronics store) to split the mono signal into two signals to feed both the Left and Right inputs on the SVC-VA. 2) Use just the left connector for the audio of that source. Page 8 Typical Hook Up #2 Figure 6 below shows a system with 3 sources. It also illustrates using the dual outputs to record on a VCR, watch the video on the TV and listen to the sound on a surround system. As shown below, you can record inputs 1, 2 or 3 (not 4 as you would be trying to record to itself) and record video and audio on the recording VCR from the selected source. Figure 6, SVC-VA with recording VCR Note: Remember to select the A/V or AUX input on the recording VCR to record the output of the SVC-VA. Note: It is advisable to turn auto input selection off to avoid the SVC-VA from selecting input #4 and getting feedback. Note: If you are using a source with s-video then you must use an s-video connection to the recording VCR and to the television. Page 9 Operation When AC power is first applied, all outputs will be muted and all the lights will come on for 1 second and then go out. [. . . ] Stand-by light is dim (normal in stand-by mode) Is power light on?Make sure inputs and outputs are not reversed. Make sure inputs and outputs are not reversed. Push STANDBY button so unit is in the ON mode. [. . . ]
