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. See pages 4-8 to 4-10.
