Step 3: Install the VS-88UT
To rack mount the machine attach both ear brackets to the machine (by removing the five screws
from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets) or place the
machine on a table.
Step 4: Connect the inputs and outputs
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VS-88UT. For best results, we recommend that you
always use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VS-88UT.
