Installation
Step 1
Turn off power to the input and output devices,
and remove the power cords from them.
Step 2
Attach the switcher to the input and output devices.
See “Power, video, and audio connections” in
chapter 2 for details and diagrams.
Input options are:
• RGB for PC 1 and PC 2
• RGB, S-video, or composite video for Input 3
• S-video or composite video for Vid 1 & Vid 2
• Balanced/unbalanced stereo audio for all inputs

CAUTION
Connect sleeve to ground (Gnd).
Connecting the sleeve to a negative
terminal will damage the circuits.
Step 3
With AC power still removed, connect control
devices and accessories, including an RS-232
controller. See “Control device connections” in
chapter 2 for details and wiring diagrams.
Step 4
Connect power cords and apply power to the
switcher, the input and output devices, and the
RS-232 controller.
Step 5
Set up (configure) the System 5cr Plus via front
panel controls, RS-232 SIS commands, or the
Windows-based control program.

Front Panel Controls
See “Front Panel Controls and Indicators” in chapter 3 for details. Refer to the Windows-based help
program for details on settings.
Audio indicator LEDs (Max, Clip, and Min) — These light in response to changes made via the front panel
volume control knob or RS-232 or control software.
Max/Min LEDs (red) – Light when the volume control knob reaches its maximum/minimum limit.
They do not indicate anything about the audio level.
Clip LED (green) – Lights when the audio output level starts to peak (overdrive) and the signal is
clipped, often when the input level is too high.
Volume control knob — Adjusts audio volume (audio gain) for the amplified output. It can be used as a
master volume control for both audio outputs if all the inputs have the same level.
IR function LEDs (Tx, Config, Retry) — These indicate stand-alone functions and also are used in
combinations during IR learning. See the LED codes table (page 3-7) for details on LED combinations.
Transmit (Tx) LED (green) – Lights when the System
5cr Plus transmits infrared signals.
Configure (Config) LED (amber) – Lights steadily when the System
5cr Plus is in setup (config.) mode.
Retry LED (red) – Lights when the System 5 does not recognize a command during IR learning.
