Operating a Single Machine

To achieve the best performance:

￿Use only good quality connection cables1 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 VS-1616SDIaway from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.
