Interference from neighboring electrical appliances - These can have an adverse effect on signal quality. Balanced audio lines are less prone to interference, but unbalanced audio should be installed far from any mains power cables, electric motors, transmitters, etc. even when the cables are shielded.

2. The socket-outlet should be near the equipment and should be easily accessible. To fully disconnect equipment, remove power cord from socket. Press the toggle switch on the far left-hand side of the front panel to the ON position. The toggle switch glows. Operate the acceptors. -
Page 10: Selecting An Input
Selecting an Input 9.2.2 Input selection on the Matrix Switchers is made by pressing any of the buttons marked “1” through “8” (CVG- ), or "1" to "6" (CVG-606 marked on the back panel. Connecting a Video/Audio Input/Output 9.2.3 To connect a video/audio Input to a specific output, press the desired output button (upper line), followed by the desired input button (lower row). -
Page 11: Selecting The Sync Source
When RS-485 connection is used for communication between the Matrix Switcher and the PC, DIP switch # 8 should be up ("OFF"). In some applications, it may be desirable for some machines not to reply to instructions received on the RS-232 and RS-485 ports. In this scenario, you would disable the “Reply”, or acknowledgement commands. -
Page 12: Figure 3: Rs-232 Control Connector Wiring
communication between Matrix Switchers is always via RS-485 (see example in Figure 5). The RS-232 port is either a DB-9 (9-pin port) or DB-25 (25-pin port). The cable connecting your switcher to the PC should be wired as shown in Figure 4. A 9-25 pin adapter or 9-9 pin null-modem adapter is included for your convenience. The null-modem adaptor is wired as shown in Figure 4. -

4 machines! In order to switch during the vertical interval when working in this way, the switchers should be configured for operation using the “Ext. Sync”. A sync source should then be connected to all the machines (for RGB this could be the Green channel, and for YUV this could be the Y channel). -

Set DIP switch #4 (RS-485 termination) of the third machine to "ON" and of the second machine to "OFF". If an RS-485 external controller is connected, then DIP switch #4 of the first machine should be set to "OFF"; if no external controller is used, set this switch to "ON". -

Page 17: Switching Malfunctions
Disconnect the source from a channel that is switching successfully and connect the suspect source to it. If the channel continues to switch successfully, then there is something wrong with the Matrix Switcher or the suspect source was not connected properly. - Page 18 O3 – O0 – “OUTPUT”. When switching via RS-232 or RS-485 (for instruction codes 1 and 2), the output to switch is set by these bits. Similarly, if switching is done via the machine’s keyboard, then these bits are set with the output number which was switched.
