General Information
The Model 1166/56 High Deniion AoSeleco
™
complements a wide array of home theater signal sources,
video displays and audio systems. It performs selection of up to six input sources by infrared control, by a
unique AutoSelect™ process, RS-232 signals, or by manual selection. These inputs may be DVI (1166 only)
or component video and digital or analog audio, or combinations of these signal types, all delivered to the
viewer with their original vividness, brightness and clarity. A special feature of the Model 1166 is its built-in
Component-to-DVI converter, which enables the DVI output to be active regardless of the type of video avail-
able at the selected input.
NOTE: This manual addresses Model 1166 and 1156 generally but also includes references to DVI capability
which is available only on the 1166. If you are installing a Model 1156, ignore any references to DVI.
