40 SAVANT APP, HOST, AND LAMP CONTROL USER GUIDE
ADVANCED CONFIGURATIONS: Setting Up a System with an Input Switcher
An input switcher is any device that lets you select the source of audio/visual (AV) content for your
entertainment system. One of the most popular types of input switchers is an AV receiver (AVR),
which controls the switching of AV inputs to your TV and the routing of audio through your system.
When you have an AVR, your system becomes more complex because it includes one and possibly
two input switchers. Typically, the AVR handles the volume control and all input switching in your
system. However, some systems use their TV as the input switcher and use the AV receiver mainly
to route audio. When adding a system with two input switchers to your Savant Home, you will be
asked to select inputs from both switchers.
Take a moment to note how your AVR or input switcher is connected to other components before
adding these devices to your Savant Home. Then do the following:
1. Make sure you have completed all the steps in “Before You Start” on page 18.
2. Determine if you need Savant Blasters, as described in “Determining if You Need Savant
Blasters” on page 35.
The Savant App displays panels asking you to describe your configuration.
3. Tap Select in the panel that best describes your system.
4. Follow the instructions for adding your devices and indicating which device controls input
switching in your entertainment system.
– When prompted, identify your AVR as the volume controller for your system.
– If you selected Option 1 or 2 above, other devices you add to your system will automatically
map to the input device identified in the panel you selected. If you selected Option 3, the
Savant App will ask you to select either your TV or your AVR as the input for the device
being added.
