Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of

unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video,

audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have

redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/TBUS-204 to check for up-to-date user manuals,

application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving the Best Performance

•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,

high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor

matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

•Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

•Position your Kramer TBUS-204 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other

equipment that is installed inside a building.

dimensions from the Kramer website at www.kramerav.com/downloads/TBUS-204.

2. Place the included cut-out template (that is included with your TBUS-204) on the surface

of the table exactly where you want to install the TBUS-204.

3. Attach the cut-out template to the table with the included screws.

4. Following the inside edge of the template, cut a hole in the table surface with a sabre or

keyhole saw according to the dimensions shown in Figure 3 (not to scale).
