Inputs 1, 2 and 3 can be set in priority according to your needs. The VS-311H

switches to the secondary input upon loss of the primary input signal, and back to

the primary input when a signal is detected.

The following table describes the priority setup:

Priority Switching Applications

In the following example, DIP-switches 1, 2, and 3 are set to OFF, OFF and OFF

respectively, meaning that the highest priority input is IN 1; IN 2 is the secondary

input; and IN 3 the third. DIP-switch 4 is set ON, enabling AUTO mode operation.

If all the inputs are connected, you can, for example, press the INPUT SELECTOR

2 button to switch IN 2 to OUT. The plasma display shows the IN 2 signal.

If the HDMI signal on IN 2 is cut off, the switcher automatically switches IN 1 to the

output, and if that fails too, IN 3 is automatically switched to the output. If, in the

meantime, the IN 2 signal is restored, IN 2 will take priority once again.

Connecting the Contact Closure Remote Control PINs

The contact closure remote control pins operate in a similar way to the input

buttons.

For example, you may override (equivalent to pressing a different input button) the

presently routed input by using the remote control contact closure. To do so,
