A DVS5.1 Overview A Description of the DVS5.1 The DVS5.1 is a 5 input, Digital Audio / DVI video switch. Channel selection can be done using front panel buttons, or by using any user supplied, standard or programmable, IR remote control. Also available is an optional RS-232 module allowing extended control of the DVS5.1 using a standard serial port. The RS-232 module must be purchased separately. Features The DVS5.1 is a DVI-D only switch.
Front Panel Operations Operating the DVS5.1 is straight forward and is simply a matter of plugging the DVS5.1’s power supply into an available A.C. outlet, and then plugging the DVS5.1’s power supply into the back of the DVS5.1. To operate the DVS5.1 manually, press the power button, located on the very left of the DVS5.1, to cycle power. Press any one of the five input select buttons to switch the DVS5.1 to the selected input. If the DVS5.
Using the DVS5.1 with a Remote Control Remote operations of the DVS5.1 are accomplished through the use of just about any remote control. A remote control is not supplied with the DVS5.1, yet the versatile programming modes of the DVS5.1 allows the DVS5.1 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Programming your Remote Control" on page 7, describes how to setup your remote control. After your remote control is programmed, the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the DVS5.
Programming your Remote Control Setting up your Universal Remote Control For remote control operations, the DVS5.1 requires either a universal remote control to be programmed as one of eight pre-programmed devices. Or, alternatively, the DVS5.1 can be taught to use most existing remote controls. The simplest way to begin using the DVS5.1 is to program your Universal Remote control to act like the remote used to control a Awia DVD. Once this is done you will be able to immediately start using your DVS5.1.
Using Alternate Remote Codes Using Alternate Component Keys on your Remote The DVS5.1 will also respond to alternate component key codes. Allowing you to use an unused TV, VCR, RCVR or one of the added AUX positions many remotes include. Setting up the DVS5.1 to respond to alternate component codes is a two step process. You must first program your universal remote control to behave as one of the alternate components. You must then configure the DVS5.1 to respond to the alternate component codes.

At this point only the power indicator should be glowing red. 2 On your remote control press the buttons in the following sequence. After each button press verify that the remote IR indicator flashes. If you make a mistake, you can start over by pressing POWERTOGGLE twice.
Learning New Remote Codes Teaching the DVS5.1 to use learned remote control keys If your remote does not have one of the pre-programmed component codes, or you simply want to re-map the DVS5.1 functions to other keys on your remote, the DVS5.1 can be taught to use new keys. To teach the DVS5.1 to respond to new keys, you need to have the remote control you want to use ready, and setup in the manner you want it to be used.

Bright / Dim / Auto-dimming Modes Setting the Display intensity modes of the DVS5.1 The front panel display of the DVS5.1 can be set to Bright, Dim or an Auto-dimming mode where the display brightens for 4 seconds after any function is selected and then auto-dims. Setting the mode is simply a matter of toggling between the three modes: • Bright Mode. When pressing the SETDIMMODE key to toggle to this state, the display will turn bright and remain that way. • Dim Mode.
Setting Power On Defaults The DVS5.1 power on default mode When toggling between Standby mode and PowerOn, the DVS5.1 will remember all it’s current settings. After completely powering down the DVS5.1 (by unplugging the AC wall adapter), upon restoring power (by plugging the AC wall adapter back in), it will power up in a user settable default mode. This is useful in situations where the DVS5.1 is externally switched by a power strip.
Restoring the DVS5.1 to Factory Defaults Restoring the DVS5.1 to the factory defaults Resetting the DVS5.1 to the factory defaults is done by removing power to the DVS5.1. The AC wall adapter must be unplugged, so that the DVS5.1 is completely without power. The SETUP key is then pressed and held while power is restored to the DVS5.1. After about three seconds the power indicator will flash three times indicating the DVS5.1 has been reset to factory defaults.

Typical Applications (Cont’d) Some Notes on DVI Cable Lengths DVI cables vary greatly in quality, and as a result, the maximum length of the DVI cable will vary. Using high quality cables, it is possible to extend to lengths as long as 50 feet. Low quality cables may fail at lengths as short as 6 feet. Cable failures are typically seen as sparkles or random dots in the video. Contact your Zektor dealer for recommendations on cable brands. Rack Mounting The DVS5.
