Typical Hook up

• Step 1
  Connect the AC adapter to 120-220 VAC and plug the DC cord into the 5 VDC input on the rear of the VS-560.

• Step 2
  We have provided three sample hook-up diagrams (pages 10-12) to help you determine how to connect the components of your system. You can use the last page of this manual as an organizer for your equipment. Read the following notes before installing the VS-560 into your system.

Note: The VS-560 does not convert analog audio to digital audio or visa versa.

If you have a combination of standard composite video (RCA type jacks) and S-Video (mini-din jacks) on your equipment, use a single A/V source per input.

• Composite Video conversion: The VS-560 has a composite to component converter. You can feed a combination of composite, and component to the VS-560 and feed only a component signal to your TV. This lets you use just one component input on your TV and all sources will automatically be displayed there.
• S-video Conversion: The VS-560 has an s-video to component converter. You can feed a combination of s-video and component to the VS-560 and feed only a component signal to your TV. This lets you use just one component input on your TV and all sources will automatically be displayed there.
• HDMI: The VS-560 has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. The HDMI is version 1.3 and supports the following resolutions: 480i, 480p,720p,1080i and 1080p.
• Digital Audio Conversion: The VS-560 has 5 digital audio inputs – and 2 digital audio outputs. The device will convert optical to coaxial and visa versa.

Note: The VS-560 will not scale or convert from CVBS, S-video or Component video to HDMI.

Basic Hook-up #1: Connecting Two Sources

This would be a typical configuration if you want to watch video and listen to audio on your TV. The connection illustration below shows only two input sources. Only inputs 3 and 5 are being used. Note that the composite input from the VCR (Input 3) is delivered by Output B to the TV as a composite signal. Also note that the s-video input from the DVD player (Input 5) is delivered by Output B to the TV as an s-video signal. Only one input can be selected at a time.

The VS-560 does not convert composite video to s-video.

Note: Remember to always connect the outputs on your VCR/DSS/DVD/etc… to the inputs on the VS-560. Likewise, connect the outputs on the VS-560 to the inputs on the TV/VCR/Receiver/etc…

Note: If your device does not have a stereo audio output, you can:

1. Use a “Y” adapter (available from any electronics store) to split the mono signal into two signals to feed both the Left and Right inputs on the VS-560.
2. Use just the left connector for the audio of that source.

Basic Hook-up #2: Connecting Different Video Types

The connection diagram below shows a hook-up with 3 input sources. Inputs 1, 2 and 4 are being used. Input 1 is being used as a composite video input with stereo left and right audio from the VCR. Input 2 is being used for S-video from the DVD player, while the DVD’s optical audio output is connected to the optical digital audio input on the VS-560. Input 4 is being used as a component video input from the set top cable box along with a coaxial digital audio connection. The VS-560 component output goes to the TV monitor along with the left and right stereo audio. The digital audio output goes to the stereo receiver. Input 1 and 2 are being up-converted from composite and S-Video and output as component video.

Notes

• Remember to select the A/V or AUX input on the TV.
• The VS-560 does not convert the digital signal to analog L+R signals or visa versa.
• This device will convert optical to coaxial and visa versa.

Basic Hook-up #3: Connecting HDMI sources

The connection diagram below shows a hook-up with 2 input sources having HDMI. Note: the HDMI output from the set top cable box is connected to HDMI input

1. The HDMI output from the DVD player is connected to HDMI input #2. The

HDMI output of the VS-560 is connected to the TV’s HDMI input allowing you to view either source. HDMI carries both the digital audio and video signal.

Note: The VS-560 does not convert composite, S-video or component video to HDMI.

Operation

• When the VS-560 is first powered up, the Auto Input Mode LED light and the Power / Stand-by LED light will come on. The Power / Stand-by light will be lit dim red. The Auto Input Mode light will be blue. When the unit detects an active video input (Composite, S-Video, Component or HDMI video), the Power / Standby light will turn blue and the active input will be selected.

Power

• If AC power is lost or the unit is turned off, the previous status (last selected input, Volume mode and AUTO SELECT status) will be resumed when the Power / Stand-by button is pushed.

Auto Input Mode

• If the Auto Input mode is on, as a new input becomes active, the VS-560 will automatically change to the new input. If you want to go to another A/V source, select the input using the front panel button or the remote. If you don’t want the VS-560 to automatically select an active input, turn the Auto Input mode off. Please note when you activate Auto Input mode, it scans the inputs when the VS-560 is on or in the stand-by mode. A new input becoming active will cause the unit to wake from standby, and select the new input.

Note: If an input goes off and back on in less than 5 seconds, the VS-560 may not sense the input change. No input change will occur.

Volume Equalization Adjustment

Volume Equalization lets you control the dynamic range of the audio signal to accommodate your needs.

To set the Volume Equalization level for the analog inputs:

1. The Volume Equalization setting appears to the left of the input display name.
2. To change the setting, press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds or until you hear a beep. The Volume equalization setting will begin to blink, indicating it is ready to be changed.
3. Use the Channel (< >) buttons, to set the Volume Equalization level as desired.
4. To save the new setting, press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds or until you hear a beep.

Note: You can set the Volume Equalization level for inputs 1-6. You cannot set the Volume Equalization level for HDMI inputs 7-9. The setting for inputs 1-6 is the same for all inputs, and stored in memory.

Digital Audio Conversion

The VS-560 converts the coaxial and optical digital audio inputs and sends the signal out both the coaxial and optical outputs simultaneously. This lets you connect a single digital audio cable (either optical or coaxial) between the VS-560 and your receiver and feed the VS-560 with both coaxial and optical inputs.

Digital Audio Splitter – Simplifies your hook-up by splitting off the digital audio from the HDMI inputs, and routes the signal to the optical and co-axial audio outputs

Note: It does not convert the digital audio signal to analog L+R signals or visa versa.

Note: The volume equalizer only works on analog L+R signals and does not work on the coaxial and optical signals.

How it Works

This section has more technical information about the VS-560. In the block diagram below you can see how the audio and video inputs are selected and fed to the output buffer amplifiers (Only the left audio channel is shown). Notice how the VOLUME ADJ button allows you to bypass the Volume Equalization circuitry [- -]. The diagram also shows how the selected video (composite, S-Video, or component) signal is fed to the output buffer amplifiers and into the converter which then feeds outputs A and B. The VS-560 does not convert composite, S-Video, or component video signals to HDMI.

Simplified Block Diagram

Automatic Input Sensing

When the Auto Input mode is on, the VS-560 constantly scans the Composite, S-Video, Component and HDMI video inputs, waiting for a video input signal. 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. If the first input goes off, the unit will turn itself off and return to the stand-by mode in about one-minute and wait for an input to become active.

Note: The Automatic Input Sensing only senses video signals, not audio signals.

LCD Screen

When powering up from Stand by mode, the VS-560 displays settings for various inputs on the LCD screen, as shown below. You can either select a pre- programmed name or create your own names for the inputs to identify the devices you have connected.

The VS-560 comes with 29 pre-programmed display names. To select a pre- programmed name for any input:

1. Select the input you want to name by pressing the CHANNEL < > buttons.
2. Press and hold the D.NAME button for 3-4 seconds or until you hear a beep. The six character spaces will begin to blink.
3. Press the CHANNEL < > buttons to scroll through a list of pre-programmed names, shown in the chart below. Select the desired name from the list.
4. To save the name for that input, press and hold the D. NAME button for 3-4 seconds or until you hear a beep.
