20
This section describes how to:
• Use the IN and OUT buttons (see Section 7.1)
• Read the 7-segment displays (see Section 7.2)
• Confirm settings (see Section 7.3)

7.2 Understanding the 7-Segment Displays
The VP-4x8AK has two displays:
• The STATUS 7-segment display
• The REL. AUDIO LEVEL (dB) 7-segment display
7.2.1 The STATUS 7-Segment Display
During normal operation, the STATUS display shows which inputs are
switched to which outputs, as illustrated in Figure 11. In the VIDEO mode,
the display shows the video signal setup and in the AUDIO mode, it sho ws
the audio signal setup. In the AFV i t s hows both signals (see Section 7.6).
