7.3 Choosing the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway Option
You can switch stereo audio signals in one of two ways, either:
Audio-follow-video (AFV), in which all operations relate to both the
video and the audio channels; or
Breakaway, in which video and audio channels switch independently
7.3.1
Setting the Audio-Follow-Video Option
To set the Audio-follow-video (AFV) option press the AFV button:
If the AUDIO and VIDEO configurations are the same, then the AFV

Setting the Breakaway Option
To set the Breakaway option:
Press either the AUDIO (for audio control only) or the VIDEO (for video

If the VIDEO button illuminates, switching operations relate to Video
The STATUS window displays audio or video settings, according to your
selection.
7.4 Confirming Settings
You can choose to work in the At Once or the Confirm mode. When the
VP-88ETH operates in the At Once mode, pressing an OUTPUT-INPUT
combination implements the switch immediately. In the Confirm mode, the
TAKE button must be pressed to authorize the switch.
The At Once Mode
In the At Once mode, you save time as execution is immediate and actions
require no user confirmation. However, no protection is offered against
changing an action in error.
