2—Getting Around
6—FOOT SWITCH Jack
You can control a variety of VS-2000 functions using an optional foot switch—such as a
Roland DP-2 or BOSS F5-SU—connected to this jack. See Page 378.
7,8—COAXIAL OUT and IN Digital Audio Connectors
The VS-2000 can both receive and transmit IEC 60958-format digital audio via its
coaxial digital IN and OUT connectors. Each connector carries a stereo digital audio
signal. See Page 135 to learn how to successfully handle incoming digital audio.
You can configure the VS-2000 to record digital audio received from an external digital
device connected to the COAXIAL IN jack—see Page 137.
The COAXIAL IN connector of VS-2000 is compatible with 2ch PCM audio only. If the
VS-2000 receives audio signal in other formats (DTS, Dolby Surround etc.), it outputs
such signals as noise.
The COAXIAL IN and OUT jacks carry only digital audio signals. The IN jack won't
accept standard analog audio signals, and the OUT jack doesn't produce them.
9—MIDI OUT/THRU Jack
By default, this jack functions as a MIDI output jack—connect it to the MIDI input of
any device to which you wish to send MIDI data from the VS-2000 (see Chapter 23,
Page 283). You can also set the MIDI OUT/THRU jack to function as a THRU jack that
passes along any MIDI data the VS-2000 receives from an external device (Page 284).
10—MIDI IN Jack
Connect the MIDI output of an external device to the MIDI IN jack when you want the
VS-2000 to receive and respond to MIDI data transmitted from an external device. See
Chapter 23, starting on Page 283.
11—MOUSE Jack
When you've installed a VS20-VGA VGA/Mouse Expansion Board (sold separately),
connect a PS/2 mouse (purchased separately) to the MOUSE jack. See Page 66.
PS/2
12—VGA OUT Jack
When you've installed a VS20-VGA VGA/Mouse Expansion Board (sold separately),
connect an external VGA CRT color video monitor—purchased separately—to this DB-
15-type VGA output jack. You'll find setup details on Page 66 and learn about using the
VGA on Page 381.
13—Security Slot
You can lock the VS-2000 to a stationary object to protect against theft using
commonly available security cables. If you have access to the World Wide Web,
go to http://www.kensington.com for details.
