for details.

Step 4

Connect power cords

and turn the equipment on.

Step 5

Test the system:

select an input from the front panel buttons or via

the control software; observe the display and listen to
the audio output. If you use the MediaLink

Control

Software, set the volume control in the Controller (MLC)
Config
section to “Switcher”, as shown at right. Make
any needed cabling corrections.

To avoid damage to your hearing, the Aux/Mix
input and the selectable audio inputs’ levels
and output volume should be set as low as
possible before you test the sound system.

Step 6

Adjust the Aux/Mix level:

turn the front panel potentiometer while

listening to the audio
output. See

page 3-3

.

Step 7

Set up the switcher.

In

the Switcher (MLS)
Config
part of the
MediaLink Control
Software, set the per-
input audio adjust-
ments, RGB delay
period (MLS 102 VGA),
and the output volume.
