Connecting the Inputs
Before using the VS-226, make certain that the HDMI or DVI HDTV source is
producing a picture on its regular monitor. If it is, connect either an HDMI cable or
a DVI cable via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable between the output of the HDTV
source and the HDMI input of the VS-226.
If a HDMI cable is used, digital audio will be stripped from the HDMI bitstream
and applied to the coaxial audio output connector plus the L/R stereo audio
output connectors. If a DVI cable and HDMI adapter is used, the source audio
will need to be digital format and connected to the coaxial input connector.
Note: If the coaxial input is used for the audio source, the output must also be
coaxial audio and the L/R audio output connectors will be muted.
4.2
Connecting the Output
Determine if the device you will be using accepts an S-Video input or a
Composite Video input or both. If you have a choice, you’ll want to use the S-
Video input as it will produce the best picture in most cases. Next, position the
PAL/NTSC switch to the proper position. In the United States you will generally
set the switch to the NTSC position, elsewhere you will set the switch to PAL.
To use the HDMI bypass output, simply connect a HDMI cable between the
bypass output and the display.

Connecting Power to the Unit
The VS-226 Scan Converter is shipped with a Power Adapter to convert
100~240VAC@50-60Hz to 5VDC. Connect the DC Output from the Power
Adapter to the back of the unit and then plug the Power Adapter into an AC
Receptacle. When the unit is receiving power, the Power LED indicator will
illuminate.

OPERATING THE UNIT
After connecting the input of the VS-226 to an HDTV source and the output to an
appropriate display, apply power and the unit will automatically detect the
resolution being output by the HDTV source. Select the proper television
standard (NTSC/PAL) and an image will appear on the display.
A typical use of the VS-226 would be to connect the HDMI bypass to your regular
high definition display and connect the CV or SV video output plus the
appropriate audio signal to your VCR or DVR so that you can record the HDTV
input signal in standard definition while you continue to view the program in
HDTV.
