The PC and DVD Modes
The
VS-41H
has two operation modes that are specific per input: the PC
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
and the DVD mode:
•
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 unit 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 INPUT 3 and INPUT
4, set INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 to the PC mode and INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 to
the DVD mode.
To set the inputs to either the PC or DVD mode, do the following:
1. Turn the POWER off.
2. Press the PANEL LOCK button while turning the POWER on again.
3. Keep pressing and holding the PANEL LOCK button for a few seconds and
then release it.
The LOCK button blinks.
If an input button illuminates, this indicates that that input is set to the DVD
mode.
