AVT-5541 Automatic Router allows you connect four Composite, or S-Video or Component and Stereo Audio sources and select which of them is routed to the output. Multiple input devices, such as S-VHS or Hi-8 VCR's, DVD Players, Video Game Consoles, Satellite Receivers, etc., can be connected to two destination devices without moving cables around. The AVT-5541 functions in two modes, Automatic or Manual. In the Manual mode, the front panel push button selects which input is chosen. In the Automatic mode, the input signal that is present is automatically selected, so you choose the source by turning its power On and leaving the power switched Off to the other sources. This eliminates the need for an additional Remote Control to operate the switcher. If more than one source signal is present, a front panel LED flashes to alert you to switch power off to all but one device. The award winning circuit employed in the AVT-5541 insures that no signal degradation takes place, so the quality you put in is the same as the quality you get out.
