you see fit. Just be sure to connect the video "Y" signal to the
green connector, "Pb" to the blue, and "Pr" to the red connectors.
When connecting digital audio, you may use either the orange
RCA for SPDIF coax, or the black Toslink optical connectors. The
Avalon will auto-select whichever signal is active.
Outputs
Having a true matrix switch allows you to treat each output as a
'zone'. For example, Output 1 can be the home theater zone, and
output 2 can be the master bedroom zone. In this case you would
run a set of component video cables plus a digital audio cable to
each zone. The maximum length of cable to each zone will vary on
the quality of the cable used, but if high quality cable is used, the
Avalon can support zones 300 feet away.
Connect the digital audio outputs to your surround processor or
AV receiver. You only need to connect either the optical or coax to
the receiver, not both.
USB
If you plan to use the USB communication feature of the Avalon,
connect the USB cable to your PC's USB port (flat end), and the
other end (square end) to the Avalon matrix switch.
Optionally you may choose to connect this cable later when you
are prepared to install the driver CD-ROM. Connecting the cable
will activate MS Windows plug and play wizard.
Power
Once all the input and output connectors are in place, connect the
supplied power cable to the AC input. If you are not in North
America, you may use your own standard IEC320 power cable
with the Avalon matrix switch. The Avalon will detect whatever
