, Y/C, RGBS or RGBHV Switcher
A component 2 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:
Set the same MACHINE # for each switcher (for example, MACHINE # 2)
Set dipswitch # 5 OFF
Set dipswitch # 6 OFF (
except on the Master, set Dipswitch # 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 3

VS-88V switchers:

button followed by the OFF button on the Master to reset all the connections prior to normal operation
