6.1 
The PC and DVD Modes 
The VS-81H has two operation modes that can be set individually for each input: 
the PC mode (default) and the DVD mode: 
• 
Use the PC mode when connecting one or more computers to the inputs 
using a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable 
For example, the Kramer HDMI-DVI gold-plated cable in various lengths (3”, 6”, 10” and 
15”). 
• 
Use the DVD mode when connecting one or more DVDs to the inputs 
In the PC mode, an input always has access to the EDID (default or acquired) to 
prevent the computer from resetting if the output is not connected.  
In the DVD mode, an input only has access to the EDID when it is switched to the 
connected output.  
The PC mode and the DVD mode can be applied to a single unit or to several 
inputs. For example, if you want to connect computers to INPUTS 1 and 2, and 
DVD machines to INPUTS 6 and 8, set INPUTS 1 and 2 to the PC mode and 
INPUTS 6 and 8 to the DVD mode. 
To set the inputs to either the PC or DVD mode, do the following: 
1. Turn 
off 
the 
VS-81H POWER. 
2.  Press the PANEL LOCK button while turning the POWER on again.
