Frequently Asked Questions - AT-COMP500 Atlona

How do I connect my devices to the AT-COMP500?

Connect your composite video and stereo audio sources (e.g., DVD player, gaming console) to the input jacks (yellow for video, white/red for audio). Then connect the output jacks to your TV or projector. Select the desired input using the front panel button.

Why is there no picture on my TV?

Ensure all cables are securely connected. Check that the correct input is selected on the switch and your TV is set to the corresponding input channel. Verify that your source device is powered on and outputting a composite signal.

Does this switch support audio?

Yes, the AT-COMP500 supports stereo analog audio via left (white) and right (red) RCA jacks for each input and one output.

Can I use this switch with component video?

No, the AT-COMP500 is designed for composite video (single yellow RCA) only. It does not support component video (YPbPr).

How do I switch between inputs?

Press the front panel button repeatedly to cycle through the three inputs. The corresponding LED will light up to indicate the active input.

Does the switch require external power?

Yes, it requires a 5V DC power adapter (included). Plug it into a power outlet to operate.

Can I control the switch with a remote?

No, the AT-COMP500 does not support remote control. Input selection is manual via the front panel button.

What should I do if the switch is not recognized?

Check power connection and ensure the adapter is plugged in. If LED is off, try a different outlet. If still not working, contact support.

Is it possible to connect more than three sources?

No, this switch has exactly three inputs. For more sources, consider a larger switch or daisy-chaining multiple units (not recommended).

How to clean the switch?

Unplug the switch and wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
