The default setting for DIP switch 1 is RS‑232. 

VDC  connections  to  the  Yamaha  backplane  (switches  2,  3,  and  4),  are  not 

supported  on  all  Yamaha  digital  products—currently  only  the  LS9  series 

products  can  make  use  of  this  option;  consult  Yamaha  for  compatibility 

information.  

VDC Slot Assignments - Backplane VDC Port 

Combinations of switches 2, 3, and 4 within SW8 are used to assign Virtual 

Data  Cable  Slots  for  the  backplane  VDC  port.  The  following  table  lists  the 

possible settings for the 14 VDC Slots available in a Pro64 network. 

Note that RS‑232/422 communication always requires a pair of Virtual Data 

Cable Slots and that this pair must always be an odd‑even combination of 

VDCs. The down position is 

off

 and the up position is 

on

 for each DIP switch.
