Thank you for buying the RadioShack Tilting, Auto-Sensing 5-Way Stereo
A/V Selector. It allows you connect up to five audio/ video devices to your
TV or VCR, and switch between them without having to swap cables.
OUTPUT 1
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.

POWER — Plug the AC adapter here.
Operation
Use stereo audio/video cables with phono plugs (available at your local
RadioShack store and online at RadioShack.com) 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. To open the front cover, insert your
finger tip or a flat-bladed screwdriver into the cover gap.
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 has an S-Video cable, connect its
video output 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.
Note: Do not connect the TV or monitor’s video input to both
OUTPUT VIDEO and OUTPUT S-VIDEO.
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.
The selector is pre-set to the auto sensing mode. Turn on the TV and
the device you want to view. The selector cycles through all inputs
based on the priority of the front panel input, and then INPUT 1,
INPUT 2, INPUT 3, INPUT 4. The selector goes to the device with the
top priority that is powered on. 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 INPUT4.
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. When you turn off that device, the
selector cycles through all inputs then goes to the device with the top
priority that is powered on.
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.
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 the TV.
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.
