See descriptions above (under the heading "Front Panel") for more information POWER - Turns SVC-VA on or off. DISPLAY - Pressing this button cycles through three levels of brightness on the front panel lights - bright, dim or off. When the Display is set in the "off" mode, the lights will light for a few seconds when any button is pressed. VS ACTIVE - Toggles between the Volume Stabilizer being active or in the bypass mode. AUTO INPUT - Toggles between the Automatic Input Selection mode being on or off. 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. Note: Most systems have a VHF/UHF cable from an antenna or cable company going into the VCR and then a VHF/UHF cable between the VCR and TV. This is OK but you still must connect the A/V cables as shown in figures 5 and 6. Having both the VHF/UHF cable and the A/V cable would allow you to record a program off of the cable on your VCR (cable input) while watching a different program/movie from another device (DVD) via the SVC-VA on your TV via the A/V input. Don't forget, you must select the TV's A/V input (also call video input or line input on some TV brands) not channel 3 or 4 to view the output of the SVC-VA. Page 7 Typical Hook Up #1 Figure 5 below shows a hook-up showing only two input sources. Be sure you use either S-Video or composite video inputs, but not both on the same input. The one SVC-VA output goes to the TV so you can watch and listen on your TV. 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. 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. [. . . ] Normal output level for most consumer equipment is about -10 dbv (aprox. Looking at the 1:1 line, you can see if an input signal is at the 20 dbv level (slightly soft volume wise) it will come out also at -20 dbv. If the unit is set for 10:1 compression, the same -20 input will come out at about -11 dbv as shown in the diagram below. Likewise, if the input signal goes up to 0 dbv, the output will be -9 dbv.
