When you turn on a device (VCR, DSS, etc.) a microprocessor in the VS-560 senses the video input, turns on the VS-560 (when it is in the stand-by mode) and selects the input. When a second input occurs, the unit will switch to the new input. If the second input is turned off, in approximately 3 seconds, the unit will go back to the first input.
