Likewise, connect the outputs on the VS-502 to the inputs on the TV/VCR/Receiver/etc. . . Note: If you have one or more devices which 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 VS-502. 2) Use just the left connector for the audio of that source. Page 9 Fig. 6 - Basic Hook-up #2: Connecting Different Video Types Below shows a hook-up with 3 input sources. Input 1 is being used as a composite video input with stereo left and right audio. Input 2 shows how to connect S-Video while using the optical digital audio input. Input 3 unlike (figure 5) is now being used as a component video input along with a coaxial digital audio connection. The VS-502 component output goes to the TV monitor along with the left and right stereo audio. Input 1 and 2 are being upconverted from composite and S-Video to component video. Figure 6, VS-502 Notes: Remember to select the A/V or AUX input on the TV. Is does not convert the digital signal to analog L+R signals or vise versa. This device will convert optical to coaxial and vice versa. Page 10 Operation When AC power is first applied, all outputs will be muted and all the lights will come on for three seconds and then go out. The Auto Input and Volume Stabilization modes will be active as default. When the unit detects an active video input (composite, SVideo, or component video), the Power / Standby light will turn off and the active input will be selected. Power As long as AC power is not lost, the previous status (last selected input, Volume Stabilizer mode and AUTO SELECT status) will be resumed when Power / Stand-by is pushed. If AC power was lost, the unit will default with input #1 selected, Volume Stabilization on and Auto Input on. Inputs Pushing a input button on either the front panel or on the IR remote will cause the current input and associated LED to go off and the new input to come on. Auto Input Mode If the Auto Input mode is on, as a new input becomes active, the VS-502 will automatically change to the new input. If you want to go to another A/V source, simply select the input using the front panel button or the remote. If you don't want the VS-502 to automatically select an active input, turn the Auto Input mode off. [. . . ] The Input 1 LED will be blinking, to indicate that the unit has entered into Digital Audio Mapping Mode. Press the Digital Audio Input that you would like to map to Video Input 1. (For example, pressing Input 2 at this point would map Digital Audio Input 2, to Video Input 1. ) 5. At this point the Digital Audio Input can be selected for Video Input 2. [. . . ]
