INITIAL TESTING

If any of the following steps fail to produce the desired result, turn to the trou-
bleshooting section of the manual (below). You will need at least one video
source, power for that source, and RCA cables to connect the source to the
video input of the AVS10 and to connect the output of the AVS10 to your
monitor. The number of cables you need depends on the number of video
sources you are connecting.
Connect your 12VDC power supply to the AVS10. Be sure it is positive tip!
Connect one or more video sources to the inputs, J1 through J4. Be sure
your video sources are properly powered.
Connect the video output, J5, to your monitor (television or VCR). De-
pending on your TV, you may need to set up the input in the menu sec-
tion. Consult your TV owners manual for help with this.
Select the video inputs to be enabled by switching the appropriate input
on S1. Ex. J1 = VIDEO 1.
Turn on the AVS10. With the SCAN/STOP button out (or off) you should
see each of the sources you connected cycle through in sequence on
your monitor.
Vary the Scan Speed using R2.
Push in the SCAN/STOP button to select a single video source for con-
stant presentation. Releasing the SCAN/STOP switch will restart the cy-
cling of all enabled video sources.
Stand back and admire your work! Your AVS10 is functioning properly.
