Overview

3 Overview

The VS-401YC is a 4x1 switcher and distribution amplifier for s-Video and

stereo audio signals, that lets you switch and distribute any of the four inputs

to two identical outputs.

In particular, the VS-401YC:

 Features video input and output signals on 4p connectors and audio input

and output signals on RCA connectors

 Has four selector buttons for selecting the input to switch to the two

identical outputs

 Lets you disconnect the input

from the outputs by pressing a selected

button a second time

To achieve the best performance:

 Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 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 Kramer VS-401YC

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

1 Except for the sync signal on input 1, resulting in a black screen display
