When Using Balanced Inputs

The VS-880EX features balanced (TRS) INPUT jacks, each one configure as follows.

However, some audio devices have the opposite HOT (TIP) and COLD (RING) configuration. Using such equipment as is may result in poor sound placement, disintegration of the left-right balance, and a loss of the separation between left and right sounds when using stereo inputs. In such instances, you need to switch the phase of each channel.

1.Press [CH EDIT (SELECT)] for the channels whose phase you wish to switch.
