If the system were wired incorrectly and the VSX8000 Out channel and Amplifier channel were reversed
due to a physical wiring error, then the signals that were routed to the VSX8000 output channel would now
be physically connected to the amplifier. This type of problem could cause the system to immediately
generate feedback into the room since the microphones would be routed unintentionally to the amplifier
rather than to the codec - a result that is certainly not desired! This example underscores the importance of
ensuring the physical connections are the same as the SoundStructure devices expect.

Note: Physical Wiring Must Match Virtual Wiring
The physical wiring of a system must match the virtual wiring page definition or the
system does not operate properly.
There are two options if the actual system wiring doesn't match the wiring defined by SoundStructure Studio:
1 Rewire the system physically
2 Rewire the system virtually
Rewiring the system physically requires access to the equipment rack, ensuring the physical cables can still
reach their new locations, and moving rear-panel phoenix connectors.
Rewiring the system virtually requires moving signals on the wiring page. This can be done by clicking and
dragging the virtual channels signals to their desired inputs and outputs. It is generally simpler to move the
virtual signals than the physical wiring.
