Introduction About the MediaLink Switchers The Extron MediaLink™ switchers (MLS 306, MLS 506, MLS 506MA [70V/100V], and MLS 506SA) are a family of rack-mountable, six-input (three video/S-video, three RGB/computer video) switchers with audio control. The MLS 506, MLS 506MA, and MLS 506SA can also accept component video input. Each can be used in stand- alone applications or can be connected to a MediaLink Controller (MLC 206) to add control functions for integration into small to mid-sized aud

2. Remove the switcher from the rack, or furniture and set it on a level, stable surface. 3. Remove the cover of the switcher (the top half of the enclosure) by removing the screws, then lifting the cover straight up. Set the cover down on a level surface, and save the screws for later use. Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the CAUTION switcher. Doing so could damage the switcher. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it.
