3.3  Recommendations for Best Performance 

To achieve the best performance: 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels 

(often associated with low quality cables) 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position 

your

VM-216HDMI

 away from moisture, 

excessive sunlight and dust
