User’s Guide

How to install, set up, and use your new DVDO product

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

The VS4 package contains the VS4 switch unit, a power supply and two infrared

remote control units.

Remove and unwrap the components from the package. The infrared remote con-

trols each contain a clear plastic battery protection tab. This tab must be removed

from the remote control units before use.

Connect the power supply to the VS4 unit as shown in the picture below.

Plug the power supply into a power outlet.

Connect HDMI cables (not included) from the HDMI or DVI source(s) to the VS4

inputs.

Connect an HDMI cable from the VS4 output to an HDMI or DVI display or to an-

other HDMI receiving device, such as an AV receiver.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

The VS4 comes with two remote controls. The “Simple” remote can be used to

turn the VS4 unit on or off as well as select between the input sources.

The “Professional” remote control enables discrete command functions

of the product.

AUTOMATIC SOURCE SELECTION

The VS4 HDMI switch can automatically detect when an input device is powered-

on or powered-off. Using this information, the VS4 will automatically select the first

input device which is powered-on. To make use of this feature, keep at most one

input device powered-on at any given time. This will allow the VS4 to automati-

cally select the appropriate input device.
