FEATURES

Your RadioShack Amplified Video Selector makes it easy to

connect up to five video sources and up to three TVs or VCRs.

Then, with the press of a button, you can select any of the video

sources for viewing or recording on each TV or VCR.

Five Input Jacks 



let you connect up to five standard video

signal sources, such as a VCR, a video disc player, a satellite

receiver, a TV antenna, and cable TV.

Three Output Jacks 



let you send the signal sources to up to

three TVs or VCRs, so that you can view or record each video

source.

Three Built-In Amplifiers 



eliminate almost all signal loss

caused by switching and splitting of the TV signals, while maintain-

ing the separation between output signals.

Coaxial Connectors 



provide secure, reliable connections.

This amplified video selector complies with FCC limits for high

isolation. These limits help ensure that your video sources do not

interfere with other devices.

Note to Cable TV System Installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's atten-

tion to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper

grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground be

connected to the grounding system of the building as close to cable

entry as practical.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Use standard coaxial cable with F-connectors for all connections.

Caution: Do not plug the video selector into an AC outlet until you

complete all connections.

INPUT JACKS

Your video selector has five input jacks that let you connect up to

five different video signal sources that you can view or record.

Note: The CABLE INPUT and ANT INPUT jacks are specially

designed for the wide frequency range of cable TV and VHF/UHF

antenna signals. Use these jacks to connect cable TV and VHF/

UHF antenna signals. The other inputs are designed to receive

only Channel 2/3/4 signals. Do not connect antenna or direct cable

signals to these inputs.

From a VCR

To connect a VCR to the video selector, connect the VCR's VHF

output to the video selector's VCR INPUT jack.

From Cable TV From Auxiliary Devices

15-2100.fm Page 5 Wednesday, December 8, 1999 8:11 AM

Note: This input is designed to receive the Channel 3/4 output from

your VCR.

From Cable TV

To connect direct cable TV signals to the video selector without a

cable box, connect the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the video selector's

CABLE INPUT jack.

From an Antenna

To connect an antenna to the video selector, connect the antenna's

75-ohm coaxial cable to the video selector's ANT INPUT jack.

Notes:

• If your antenna wire is 300-ohm twin-lead, you need a

300-to-75-ohm matching transformer.

• If you have separate VHF and UHF antennas, use a signal

combiner.

You can find the necessary connection accessories at your local

RadioShack store.

From an Auxiliary Device

To connect an auxiliary device (such as a computer or video disc

player) to your video selector, connect the device's output to the

video selector's AUX-1 or AUX-2 jacks.

Note: These outputs are designed to receive the Channel 2/3/4

outputs from your auxiliary devices. If your auxiliary devices use

other output channels, they might not work properly with this selec-

tor.

15-2100.fm Page 6 Wednesday, December 8, 1999 8:11 AM

OUTPUT JACKS

Your video selector has three output jacks that let you connect up

to three TVs or VCRs for viewing or recording of your video signal

sources.

These three jacks are identical and can be used for three TVs,

three VCRs, or any combination of TVs or VCRs. The jacks are

labeled to help you associate the front panel's labeling (TV VIEW-

ING, VCR RECORDING, and REMOTE TV VIEWING) with a specific

output device.

Note: If you receive combined VHF/UHF antenna signals and your

TVs or VCRs have separate VHF and UHF terminals, use a VHF/

UHF splitter to connect the selector to the TVs or VCRs.

All of the required accessories are available at your local

RadioShack store.

To a TV Set

To connect the video selector to a TV set, connect one of the video

selector's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's VHF/UHF input.

To Main TV To Remote TV

To an Output VCR

To connect the video selector to an output VCR, connect one of the

video selector's OUTPUT jacks to the VCR's VHF/UHF input.

To a Remote TV

To connect the video selector to a remote TV, connect one of the

video selector's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's VHF/UHF input.

OPERATION

Before you use the video selector, connect all the other equipment

in your video system and double-check all connections. You can

view or record the same source on all three output devices, or you

can view or record a different source on each device.

1. Plug the video selector into a standard AC outlet. The video

selector's POWER indicator lights.

Caution: The video selector's power cord has a polarized AC

plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug fits into an

outlet only one way; do not force it!

2. Turn on the desired output devices (TVs or VCRs).

3. Use the video selector's front panel buttons to select the

desired video source for each TV or VCR.

4. If necessary, turn on the selected video signal source. Antenna

and direct cable signals are always active.

5. If you plan to record to one or more VCRs, set the selector’s

front panel button to select the desired video source for the

recording VCR:

When video is from: Set switch to:

Normal TV ANT

Cable TV CABLE

15-2100.fm Page 9 Wednesday, December 8, 1999 8:11 AM

Notes:

• Cable and VHF/UHF TV signals are automatically active when

you turn on the video selector's power.

• Some computers have RadioShack-type output jacks. For the

best results, use a shielded video cable to connect a computer

or similar device. Your local RadioShack store sells the neces-

sary cables and adapters.

• If you use a long run of coaxial antenna cable or receive weak

UHF/VHF signals, you might need an additional amplifier

(available at your local RadioShack store.)

• VCRs and cable TV boxes usually convert their output to either

Channel 3 or 4. Be sure that you set the main TV, remote TV,

and output VCR to the correct channel. If you have more than

one output device that converts programs to Channel 3 or 4, it

is best to set them to different channels to avoid signal interfer-

ence.

VIDEO DUBBING

You can easily copy tapes from one VCR to another by connecting

two VCRs to the video selector. This process is called

dubbing

One VCR is the playback VCR and the other VCR is the recording

VCR.

1. Connect the playback VCR's VHF/UHF output to the video

selector's AUX-1 or AUX-2 input jack. Then, press the button

(AUX-1 or AUX-2) under VCR RECORDING that corresponds to

the input jack you used.

2. Connect the video selector's VCR output jack to the recording

VCR's VHF/UHF input.

3. If you want to monitor the dubbing process on the main TV or a

remote TV, press the button (AUX-1 or AUX-2)under TV VIEW-

ING or REMOTE TV VIEWING that corresponds to the input jack

you used in Step 1.
