KD-CSW4x1 Operating Instructions
Page
Using the KD-CSW4x1, you can switch the virtually any A/V input device
DVD players
Electronic game boxes
Cable TV, satellite, and terrestrial DTV set-top receivers
Digital video recorders (DVRs)
D-VHS, S-VHS, and VHS VCRs
You can also switch S-Video (with adapter) and composite (single-wire) video signals from VCRs,
digital video recorders, and satellite set-top receivers through the KD-CSW4x1.
Color-coded RCA jacks are provided on the rear panel for fast and easy hook-up.
Switching can be done in any of three ways:
Manually, using the front panel button.
Remotely, using the supplied infrared remote control
Remotely, using a touch panel and RS-232 commands
Connecting Your A/V Equipment
Connecting your A/V equipment to the KD-CSW4x1 is a simple process. Start with Input #1 and
proceed to the next higher input each time you add an A/V device.
First, determine the video signal format you want to connect. If an A/V device has component
YPrPb (three-wire) video outputs, use them for best video quality. If component video outputs
are not available, use the S-Video output instead. Composite video signals can also be switched
through the KD-CSW4x1, but these signals will have the lowest overall video quality. This is
comparative statement for Component, S-Video or Composite formats. The KD-CSW4x1 does not
degrade any HDTV or SDTV video signal.
Next, determine whether you want to use the device’s analog audio outputs or the digital audio
output. Use analog outputs if you are switching audio to the analog inputs of a TV or monitor.
Use the digital output if you are switching audio to an A/V receiver with a digital audio input.
The KD-CSW4x1 is wired with RCA female connectors. Switching S-Video will require special S-
Video to RCA breakout cables for inputs and outputs.

WARNING – do not connect a digital audio output signal to analog inputs
on your TV or monitor! It may damage your speakers!
Connecting a digital TV set-top receiver with componentYPrPb (three-wire) video
outputs to the KD-CSW4x1
Connect the three-wire green, red and blue (YPrPb) jacks on your set-top receiver to the green,
red, and blue (YPrPb) jacks on the KD-CSW4x1. Connect the white and red analog stereo audio
output jacks on your set-top receiver to the white (L/H) and red (R/V) input jacks on the KD-
CSW4x1. If you have a digital audio output jack on your receiver, you can connect it to the black
(PCM) input jack on the KD-CSW4x1. Connect the green, red, and blue (YPrPb) jacks from Output
on the KD-CSW4x1 to the corresponding component video jacks on your TV or monitor. Connect the
white (L/H) and red (R/V) analog audio jacks to the corresponding audio jacks on your TV or monitor.
If you wish to listen to digital audio from your set-top receiver,and you have connected the digital
ouput of your set-top receiver to the PCM input of the KD-CSW4x1, connect a cable from the black
(PCM) output jack to your A/V receiver’s digital audio input.
WARNING – Do not connect this output to analog audio inputs on your TV or monitor!
