You can set up the YCS to automatically select the active, connected input. If both inputs are active, selection defaults to input 2 (S-video). You enable autoswitching by connecting pins 4 and 5 of the rear panel captive screw connector with a small piece of wire that functions as a jumper. Autoswitching remains in effect as long as the jumper wire is connecting these two pins together.

When autoswitching is in effect, the green Auto Switch LED on the front panel lights, and the front panel input selection buttons are disabled.

To enable autoswitching, do the following:

1.

Cut a small piece of wire to use as a jumper, and insert the

 

ends of the wire into pin holes 4 and 5 of the provided

 

5-pin captive screw plug, connecting pins 4 and 5 together

 

as shown in figure 2-13, below. Use an Extron Tweeker or

 

other small screwdriver to tighten the plug’s pin 4 and 5

 

screws, so that the wire ends remain securely in place.
