Operating Instructions

The PROZOR Bi-Directional Audio Switcher features two rotary switches on the front panel for easy selection.

Note: Only one input can be selected for each output playback. The product does not support multiple output devices to output sound simultaneously.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound Output:
  • Verify all RCA cables are securely connected to both the switcher and your audio devices.
  • Ensure the correct input/output is selected using the rotary switches.
  • Check that your source device is playing audio and its volume is turned up.
  • Confirm that your output device (e.g., amplifier, speakers) is powered on and its volume is adjusted.
• Distorted or Low Sound:
  • Ensure all cables are fully inserted and not loose.
  • Inspect RCA cables for any damage or kinks.
  • If the source signal is too strong, try reducing the volume on the source device.
• Only One Channel Playing (Left or Right):
  • Check the Left (white/black) and Right (red) RCA connections on both the input and output sides of the switcher and connected devices. Ensure they are correctly matched and firmly seated.
