Installing the Component Video  
Switcher  
Chapter 2  
When installing the Component Video Switcher, note the  
following:  
Setting up the  
Component  
Video Switcher  
Place the Component Video Switcher on a flat and level  
surface.  
When installing the Component Video Switcher in a cabinet,  
make sure the back of the cabinet is open to allow adequate  
ventilation, prevent heat buildup, and prolong the life of the  
unit.  
Place a board under the Component Video Switcher if it is  
located on a carpet to allow adequate ventilation on the  
bottom.  
This chapter provides information on the  
Component Video Switcher regarding  
installation, hookups and settings.  
Make sure the weight is equally distributed on each of its four  
feet.  
Do not place anything on the top of the Component Video  
Switcher that might block the ventilation holes and cause  
malfunction.  
Do not place anything on the front or rear panel that might  
damage the Component Video Switcher’s control buttons and  
connectors.  
Use caution when placing the unit on surfaces that have been  
specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or  
discoloration of the surface may result.

Notes  
Use the M4 × 11/32 inch (8mm) screws (attached to the Component  
Video Switcher) for installing the rack-mount brackets onto the  
Component Video Switcher. In case the screws are missing, use M4  
screws with a maximum diameter of 1/2 inch (12mm).  
Use screws with a minimum diameter of 3/16 inch (4mm) when you  
mount the Component Video Switcher into the rack.  
Make sure you check the rack manufacturer’s specifications before you  
mount the Component Video Switcher into the rack. This is to ensure  
mechanical stability.

Precautions  
Chapter 3  
On safety  
Other  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the  
Component Video Switcher and have it checked by a qualified service  
technician before operating it any further.  
Information  
On power sources  
This chapter provides additional  
information that will help you understand  
and maintain your system.  
Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage of the unit  
is identical to that of your local power supply. The operating voltage is  
indicated on the nameplate on the back of the unit.  
If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, be sure to  
disconnect it from the AC power source. To disconnect the lead, grasp  
the plug itself; never pull the cord.  
Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the  
wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.  
On placement  
Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat  
build-up in the Component Video Switcher.  
Do not place the unit on a soft surface such as a rug that might block  
the ventilation holes on the bottom.  
Do not place the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place  
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly  
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of  
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.  
On operation  
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,  
moisture may condense on the surface of the unit or inside the unit.  
Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case,  
turn off and leave the system until the moisture evaporates. Do not  
use the system until the moisture evaporates, otherwise it may cause a  
malfunction.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning the  
Component Video Switcher, please consult your nearest Sony  
dealer.
