Connecting the P170/P170v
The P170/P170v must be connected to some video source, and to an AC
wall outlet. The P170/P170v can also be connected to a computer
monitor, audio source/s, additional video source/s and to an external
amplified stereo speaker system. (Only the P170v can be connected to a
composite or S-VHS video source.)
The following steps describe the connections needed.
1. Turn off all equipment.
2. Plug the MagnaByte
®
P170/P170v into an AC wall outlet.
3. Audio input can be amplified by the P170/P170v and heard over the
built-in speakers. Connect a stereo or mono audio source, such as
the auxiliary output of an amplifier, a wireless microphone system,
CD player, or tape player to the
COMPUTER 1 AUDIO
or
COM-
PUTER 2 AUDIO
jacks.
NOTE: The audio input must be connected with the appropriate video
input. For example, if an external audio source is desired with
COMPUTER 1 VIDEO
, the audio source must be connected to
COMPUTER 1 AUDIO
.
4. If desired, connect an external amplified, mono or stereo speaker
system to the
OUTPUT AUDIO
jack on the P170/P170v.
NOTE: When a cable is plugged into the
OUTPUT AUDIO
jack, the
built-in speakers are disabled.
5. Only the P170v can be connected to composite or S-VHS video
sources such as VCRs or LaserDisc players. If desired, use the com-
posite video cable to connect the video source to the
TV1 VIDEO
or
TV2 VIDEO
jack on the P170v as shown in Figure 9. (If your video
system has S-VHS capabilities, use the cable supplied with your
video system to connect to the
S-VHS
jack on the P170v.)
NOTE: The
TV2
audio input (
L
and
R
) is used for both the
TV2 VIDEO
and
S-VHS
audio sources on the P170v only.
