Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•
Use only good quality connection cables
1
to avoid 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 that
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
VP-26
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
