15-1977 OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack A/V Selector with
Composite/S-Video Conversion is a time-
saving switch box for your home audio/video
system. The selector lets you connect four
audio/video devices directly to your TV and
VCR. Once connected, each device can be
accessed with the touch of a button or remote
control. This helps to avoid the need to plug
and unplug each device when changing
audio/video sources (for example, switching
from a DVD player to a camcorder or video
game system). Two Audio/Video Outputs

let you
connect up to four sources to two different
TVs or stereo VCRs.
Built-in Composite/S-Video Composite
Circuit — lets you convert composite video
(RCA) to S-Video, or S-Video to composite
video.
Built-in Auto-Learning Function

lets you
operate the selector with most remote
controls.
Standard Color-Coded Phono Connectors

make connections simple.
Easy Push-Button Selection

lets you
quickly set the input source for each TV or
VCR.
Permanent Memory of Learned Codes —
retains learned codes, even if the AC power
fails.
S-Video Jack

transmits the best picture
for your video.

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.

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. Do not use audio cables for video.
The selector’s color-coded jacks make it easy
to connect devices to the selector. Yellow
jacks are for video, red jacks are for right
audio, and white jacks are for left audio.
1. Connect the sound outputs for each
device to a set of INPUT R/L (1-4) jacks
on the back of the selector.
2. If a device does not have an S-Video
cable, connect its video output to the
selector’s
INPUT V (1-4) jack for that
device.
If the device has an S-Video cable,
connect it to the
INPUT S-VIDEO (1-4 ) jack
for that device.
Do not connect the device’s video output
to both
INPUT V (1-4) and INPUT S-VIDEO
(1-4) jacks.
3. If your TV or monitor does not have an
S-Video cable, connect its video input to
the selector’s
OUTPUT V (1 or 2) jack.
If the TV or monitor has an S-Video
cable, connect it to the
OUTPUT S-VIDEO
(1 or 2) jack.
Do not connect the TV or monitor’s video
input to both
OUTPUT V (1-2) and
OUTPUT S- VIDEO (1-2) jacks.
4. Connect the TV or monitor inputs to the
OUTPUT R/L (1-2) jacks.
5. Connect the supplied AC adapter’s
barrel plug to DC 9V , then connect the
adapter’s AC plug to a standard AC
outlet.

You must use a Class 2 power source that
supplies 9V DC and delivers 500 mA. Its center
tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit
the selector’s DC 9V jack. The supplied adapter
meets these specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could
damage the selector or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
selector before you connect it to AC power.
• When you finish, disconnect the adapter from
AC power before you disconnect it from the
selector.
