Installation of the RCA DH4VS 4-Source Video Switcher

Installing the RCA DH4VS 4-Source Video Switcher

This switcher lets you manage up to four video sources through one video input on your TV. The back panel of the switcher has four inputs and one output. Connect the switcher to your TV first. 

Important: Use either composite video (the yellow jacks) or S-Video on all of your connections. If all of your components (including your TV) offer S-Video connections, use all S-Video connections. Otherwise, use all composite video connections.

Connecting to your TV

1. Make the video connection. Connect EITHER an S-Video cable or a composite video cable to the corresponding OUT1 VIDEO jack on the switcher's back panel. Connect the other end of the cable to the TV's video input jack.
2. Make the audio connection. Connect a stereo audio cable to the OUT1 AUDIO jacks on the switcher's back panel. Connect the other end of the cable to your TV's audio input jacks. Make sure you match the color coding at the end of the cables with the color coding on the jacks—match red with red and white with white.

Connecting to your input components

1. Make the video connection. For the first component, connect EITHER an S-Video cable or a composite video cable to the corresponding IN1 VIDEO jack on the switcher's back panel. Connect the other end of the cable to the component's video output jack.
2. Make the audio connection. For the first component, connect a stereo audio cable to the IN1 AUDIO jacks on the switcher's back panel. Connect the other end of the cable to the component's audio output jacks. Make sure you match the color coding at the end of the cables with the color coding on the jacks—match red with red and white with white.
3. Repeat the video and audio connection steps for your other input components on IN2, IN3 and IN4. As you connect your components to the input jacks, note which component you have connected to each jack in the space provided below. This information is important to have handy.

Connecting to multimedia speakers

The OUTPUT2 jack on the front of the video switcher lets you use multimedia speakers for your sound.

Connect your speakers' mini-jack cable to the OUTPUT2 jack on the switcher. The switcher will route audio for the active component to the speakers.
