Should I connect to my TV or my A/V receiver?
As a general rule, you should connect the PW1000 back panel jacks to the
component you use to switch signals. So, for example, if you use an A/V
receiver switch between your Blu-ray player and satellite receiver, then you
should connect the PW1000 back panel to your A/V receiver.
To use the USB PASS THROUGH jack:
Use a USB cable (not included) to connect the
PW1000 back panel jack to your A/V receiver or TV.
To use the COMPONENT VIDEO and AUDIO jacks:
1. Make the video connection:
Use component video cables (not included) to connect the
PW1000 to your A/V receiver or TV.
2. Make the audio connection:
Use either a digital coaxial cable (not included) or a stereo
audio cable (not included) to connect the PW1000 to your
A/V receiver or TV—use the audio input grouped with the
component video jacks on your A/V receiver or TV.
To use the HDMI PASS THROUGH jack:
Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect the
PW1000 back panel jack to your A/V receiver or TV.
To use the MP3/AUDIO jack: Use a stereo
audio cable (not included) to connect the PW1000
back panel jack to your A/V receiver or TV.

1. Plug the PW1000 into a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug into a 2-prong outlet or use a ground lifter. The POWER and
PROTECTED indicators should be on when you plug in the PW1000. If they aren’t see the
User Manual for troubleshooting tips.
2. Plug in the Always-On outlets. These outlets will be powered when the PW1000 is
plugged in and functioning.
3. Plug in the Switched outlets. These outlets will be switched on and off by the switch
on the front panel.
4. Plug the coaxial cables carrying your satellite, cable, and/or antenna signal into a
SAT/CABLE IN jack. Use a coaxial cable (not included) to connect the corresponding
OUT jack to the signal input on your receiver or TV.
The front of the PW1000
offers 2 always-on
AC outlets and 2 USB
charging ports. These
outlets and ports work
whenever the PW1000 is operational.
USB CHARGING outlets support a wide range of USB-
powered portable devices. The top outlet is optimized for
devices that require extra current, such as tablets. This
outlet can supply up to 2.1 Amps of charging current.
Before using the
2.1 Amp USB outlet,
make sure you have
the switch above
this outlet set to the
right position for your
device—you must
have it set BEFORE you
plug in your device. As
a rule of thumb, leave the 2.1 switch in B position unless
you have an Apple (A) or Samsung tablet (C) product.
