4. System Control 4.1 Input Switching The button “SOURCE/MODE/3s” on the front panel can be used to select input and switch mode. 4.1.1 Manual switching mode Press “SOURCE/MODE/3s” button to toggle between input 1~4, the corresponding indicator illuminates green for easy identification. 4.1.2 Auto switching mode Press and hold the button “SOURCE/MODE/3s” for 3 seconds or more to switch between the manual and auto modes. (Default: Manual mode.). Once you enter auto switch mode, the “AUTO” LED will light up. The auto switch mode abides by the following principles: New input Once it detects a new input signal, the switcher will switch to this new signal automatically. Power Rebooting The switcher has a power off memory function. If the last selected signal is still available, the switcher will still output the signal. If not, the switcher will detect all the input signals with priority from “IN 1” to “IN 4” ports. The next available signal will be transferred to the output. Source removal Removing the current input signal, the switcher will detect all the input signals connected. The next available signal will be transferred to the output. For example, the selected input signal is “IN 2”, if you disconnect the current input source, the AVG-UHMS41-V2 will transfer the next available signal to the output. It will choose this source according to the following order: “IN 3”, “IN 4”, “IN 1” and so on, until it finds a signal.
