POWER AND CONNECTIONS

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet. The off state for this unit is called 
standby mode. In standby mode the unit is designed to consume a reduced quantity of power compared to normal operating modes.

The AC wall outlet should be installed near to the unit and be easily accessible.

Do not plug in or attempt to operate an obviously damaged unit.

OPERATING THE UNIT

Once you have connected the switcher as described above, you must be certain that the input are being fed appropriate signals 
and are not suffering from signal loss due to cabling problems or problems with the source device.

If the input signals to the switcher are appropriate, switch the power switch to <ON> and you should see and hear the signals on 
the devices you have connected to the various output connectors of the switcher.
