DAILY OPERATION

Using the Media Connector

1. Plug the micro USB end of the power cable into the USB port on the back of the Media

Connector. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB power adaptor. Also, the USB

cable could be plugged into a computer for power.

2. Connect the audio source(s) to the Media Connector using the 3.5mm cables provided.

3. Set the audio source volume to provide sound through the Topcat Access.

4. Use the AUDIO IN volume control on the front of the Media Connector to increase or

decrease the audio source sound level.

NOTE: The Media Connector can be used as the primary volume control for connected

audio sources. When it is powered on and registered to Topcat, it locks out Master Volume

and Tone controls on the Topcat.

USE THE MEDIA CONNECTOR AS THE MASTER AUDIO VOLUME CONTROL FOR OTHER

AUDIO INPUT SOURCES

When two or more audio sources are connected, you will need to normalize volume settings

by setting all connected audio sources to the same sound level while leaving the Media

Connector AUDIO IN volume control set to its center setting. The Media Connector is an

audio mixer using a master volume control to adjust the volume of all audio sources at once.

Use the following procedure to set audio source volumes:

1. Connect the multimedia audio sources to the Media Connector using the 3.5mm cables

provided.

2. Set the AUDIO IN volume control on the Media Connector to its center position.

3. Turn on an audio source that does not have an accessible audio level control (DVD, VCR

player).

4. Adjust the Media Connector AUDIO IN volume control so the audio level playing through

the speaker is appropriate for the classroom.

5. Turn o the first audio source.

6. Turn on the second audio source. Use its volume control to balance the audio output to

the same audio level played through the speaker as the first source.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining audio sources.

8. Now, the Media Connector’s AUDIO IN volume can be used to increase or decrease the

volume level for all audio sources as desired.
