The ChannelPlus SVS-52 is a five input audio/video selector. The SVS-52 has
inputs for S-video, composite video, analog audio and digital audio. The selected
video output is available on two separate but equal outputs. The SVS-52 also has
video convertion for viewing S-video on composite or viewing composite video on S-
video. A remote control is included for easy input selection.

S-VIDEO/COMPOSITE SELECTION
AUTO DETECTION
Select the desired output by pressing one of the five buttons on the front of the unit. The
unit will show which input is selected by an LED over each button.
Press and hold the button for two seconds to toggle between S-video and composite
mode. This selection is remembered for each input. Both S-video and composite outputs
will show the selected type. For example, if S-video is selected for input 2, it will be
available on both the S-video outputs and the composite outputs. The SVS-52 makes the
conversion between S-video and composite and composite to S-video with an active comb
filter circuit.
When the auto detection LED is on, the SVS-52 will automatically search all five video
inputs to find the active video signal. If this feature is off, the user must select which input
to view manually.

MOUNTING
The front panel light intensity can be changed by pressing the button on the front.
Each button press selects one of four different brightness levels including turning the panel
off completely.
Input 5 on the SVS-52 is available on the front panel for connecting video cameras or
game consoles. Its operation is the same as the other four inputs.
The SVS-52 will remember all settings when the power fails. When power resumes, the
SVS-52 will power up in the same state as when power was removed - all front panel
settings and IR learning will be remembered.
The SVS switchers can be mounted in standard 19” racks by attaching the included
mounting ears. Remove the rubber feet on the bottom of the unit to ensure clearance
when inserted into a rack.

IR OPERATION
MULTIPLE SVS-52 UNITS WITH THE IR REMOTE
The SVS-52 can be controlled via the included remote control. The remote can be used to
control three different switchers (using buttons A, B and C). Your unit is set at the factory
for unit A. Make sure you press “A” on your remote before using it. Press buttons 1
through 5 to select an input. Pressing a number button twice quickly will toggle the unit
between S-video and composite (this is the same function as pressing on the front
panel). The remote can also be used to toggle the auto detect feature.
The included remote contains three separate codes sets to allow control of up to three
SVS-52 units. The SVS-52 is set at the factory for unit A. To control a second SVS-52,
press B on the remote and teach the unit all six buttons. Use C for a third unit. Now the
remote can control three separate units. Just press A, B or C before pressing the inputs
buttons to select which unit to control.

IR LEARNING - INPUT SELECT AND AUTO DETECT
NOTES ON DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS/OUTPUTS
To use another IR remote with the SVS-52, press and hold the button for three
seconds. The learn LED will flash to indicate the SVS-52 is in learn mode. Then press an
input button to be learned. The LED will light for that input. Point the remote at the IR
window on the front of the SVS-52. Press and hold the desired key on the remote for two
seconds then release. The LED for that switch will go out indicating that the code has been
learned. If the light does not go out, check the remote and try again. Press another SVS-
52 button to repeat the process for all input selects and . When finished, press
the button to exit the learn mode. The learn LED will stop flashing. The included
remote will no longer function after programming with another remote. To reactive the
remote, follow the above steps to relearn.
Inputs 1 and 3 on the SVS-52 have TOSLINK connectors in addition to the coax digital
inputs. Inputs 1 and 3 can use either TOSLINK or COAX but not both. If both TOSLINK
and COAX connectors are used, the TOSLINK connector input will be ignored (even if no
active signal is present on the COAX input). There are two COAX outputs and one
TOSLINK output - all three are active regardless of the type of digital input used. The SVS-
52 automatically converts digital inputs to both COAX and TOSLINK outputs.
