A component

switcher consists of three
VS-88V switchers, interconnected
as one group, with one of the switchers set as the Master. A component
switcher can function in the IN SYSTEM or standalone mode. Similarly,
you can configure two
VS-88V switchers for Y/C (s-Video), four VS-88V
switchers for RGBS or five
VS-88V switchers for RGBHV.
To set the
VS-88V switchers in the group to operate as a single component
switcher, do the following with every switcher in the group:
1. Set the same MACHINE # for each switcher (for example, MACHINE #
2).
2. Set DIP-switch # 5 OFF.
3. Set DIP-switch # 6 OFF (
except on the Master, set DIP-switch # 6 ON).
Except for the Master (whose LEDs illuminate and front panel controls
remain unlocked), the LEDs on all switchers in the group are dimmed, and
their front panel controls are locked
