FOUR INPUT AUDIO/VIDEO REMOTE SWITCHER
GENERAL INFORMATION
• The RS41AV is a low noise, wide bandwidth, unity gain, infrared remote controlled switcher for line level
stereo audio and video baseband signals.
• It selects audio and video signals from any one of four sources and sends them to one output with no signal
loss.
• It allows additional source selections for the inputs of A/V receivers, VCR's, TV monitors, etc.
• A hand-held programmer, model RC68+ (available separately), is the source of the four IR input switching
commands for the RS41AV (see Fig.4). Normally the installer would "teach" these commands into a
Xantech Learning Remote, Key Pad or other learning device for eventual use by the customer.
• The space saving "flat pack" design allows great flexibility in mounting and positioning.

RS41AV PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. INPUT jacks. Connect to the corresponding output jacks of the source components (satellite receiver,
VCR, camcorder, laser disc player, TV surveillance camera, CD player, AM/FM tuner, cassette tape
deck, etc.).
2. OUTPUT jacks. Connect to the corresponding input jacks of AV receivers, TV monitors, VCRs, etc.
3. POWER 15VAC V V terminals. Connect the leads of the 15V AC Power Supply (included) to these
terminals (lead polarity is not required).
4. G and IR IN terminals. Input terminals for the IR control signal. Connect a 2-conductor cable from
the emitter or signal output port of any Xantech Connecting Block, IR receiver, Key Pad, or Controller
here. The positive lead connects to "IR IN" and the negative to "G".
5. IR CONFIRM LED. Lights continuously when power is applied. Flashes when RC68+ (and RC68)
IR commands are received.
6. Mounting Holes.

Summary of Contents for Xantech RS41AV

  • Page 1 FOUR INPUT AUDIO/VIDEO REMOTE SWITCHER GENERAL INFORMATION • The RS41AV is a low noise, wide bandwidth, unity gain, infrared remote controlled switcher for line level stereo audio and video baseband signals. • It selects audio and video signals from any one of four sources and sends them to one output with no signal loss.
  • Page 2 Similarly, Fig. 3 illustrates a system where the RS41AV is used to provide additional source selection capability for an A/V receiver. For instance, if a given A/V receiver only has six inputs, using the RS41AV would allow expansion up to a total of nine.
  • Page 3 Fig. 3 Expanding the Source Switching of an AV Receiver INSTALLATION 1. Code Groups: If more than one RS41AV is used in a given system, or it is included in an IR controlled system with other Xantech products that respond to RC68+ commands, different code groups can be assigned to avoid mutual interaction.
  • Page 4 3. The power supply for the RS41AV may be connected to the switched AC outlet on the rear of an A/V receiver, if an A/V receiver is used in the system. 4. Fig. 3 assumes the use of an A/V receiver having baseband video switching capabilities.
