7.1 The PC and DVD Modes
The
VS-161HDMI
has two operation modes that are specific per input: the
PC mode
1
and the DVD mode:
The PC mode is used when connecting a computer or several computers
to one or more of the inputs via a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable
2
The DVD mode is used when connecting a DVD or several DVDs to the
inputs
When in the PC mode, the input has access to the EDID (default or acquired)
to prevent the computer from resetting if an output is not connected. In the
DVD mode, the EDID of the connected output is available only when the
input to which the DVD is connected, is switched to the output.
The PC mode and the DVD mode can be applied to a single input or to
several inputs. For example, if you want to connect a computer to INPUT 1,
another computer to INPUT 2, and DVD machines to all the other inputs
(from INPUT 3 to INPUT 16), set INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 to the PC mode
and all the other inputs to the DVD mode.
To set the inputs to either the PC or the DVD mode, do the following:
1. Turn the POWER off.
2. Press the PANEL LOCK button while turning the POWER on again.
The INPUT buttons blink simultaneously.
3. Keep pressing and holding the PANEL LOCK button for a few seconds and
then release it.
The PANEL LOCK button blinks.
If an input button illuminates, this indicates that that input is set to the DVD
mode.
If an input button is not illuminated, this indicates that that input is set to the
PC mode.
