Wiring the Captive Screw Connector

The 3-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector is used for optional
remote contact closure control of the YCS SW2 A and/or to
enable autoswitching between inputs connected to the YCS.
The following figure shows the pin assignments for the captive
screw connector.

If the contact closure inputs remain latched, front panel
input switching is disabled.

Autoswitching

You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active,
connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to
input 2 (S-video). Autoswitching remains in effect as long as the
jumper wires are connecting the three pins together.
When autoswitching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on
the front panel lights, and the front panel input selection buttons
are disabled.
To enable autoswitching,
1.
Cut two small pieces of wire to use as jumpers.
2.
Insert the ends of one wire into pin holes 1 and 2 of the
provided 3-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 1 and 2
together as shown in figure 2-14, on the next page.
