Page 10 Operation When AC power is first applied, all outputs will be muted and all the lights will come on for 1 second and then go out. The Auto Input and Volume Stabilization modes will be active as default. When the unit detects an active video input (composite, SVideo, or component video), the Power / Standby light will turn off full and the active input will be selected. Power As long as AC power is not lost, the previous status (last selected input, Volume Stabilizer mode and AUTO SELECT status) will be resumed when Power / Stand-by is pushed. If AC power was lost, the unit will default with input #1 (both View and Record) selected, Volume Stabilization on and AUTO SELECT on. View Inputs Pushing a view input button on either the front panel or on the IR remote, will cause the view current input and associated LED to go off and the new input to come on. If the Auto Input Mode is on, the selected input will over ride the current input until another input is selected or another input is automatically detected. Record Inputs Pushing a record input button on the IR remote, will cause the current record input and associated LED to go off and the new input to come on. To set the record input from the IR remote control, first press the record button on the remote control, which will cause all of the record input LEDs to become lit. Within 3 seconds press the number of the input you wish to direct to the record output. Auto Select Mode If the Auto Select Mode is active, the unit will select a video signal from the View video inputs. If a second input becomes active, the VS-712EX will automatically change to the new input. If you want to go to another A/V source, simply select the input using the front panel button or the remote. If you don't want the VS-712EX to automatically select an active input, turn the AUTO SELECT mode off. Please note when you activate Auto Select Mode, it scans the inputs when the VS-712EX is on or in the standby mode.
