4—Setting Up and Basic Operations
Install a VS20-VGA and Connect a PS/2 Mouse and ASCII Keyboard
A mouse and ASCII keyboard can make operation of the VS-2000 even easier. When
you install a VS20-VGA VGAMouse Expansion Board (purchased separately), the
VS-2000 supports the use of a PS/2-type mouse and keyboard. (A PS/2 mouse and
keyboard must be purchased separately.)
Many of the VS-2000's operations can be performed using a mouse instead of the
VS-2000's top-panel controls, as described on Page 70. A mouse also allows you to
operate the VS-2000 from the screen of a connected VGA monitor (purchased
separately)—see Page 381. You can perform a wide range of operations—and navigate
the VS-2000—using a connected ASCII keyboard (Page 72).
Connect the included mouse and keyboard to a PS/2 "Y" connector—
available at most computer supply stores—attached to the
VS20-VGA's PS/2 MOUSE jack.
You may need to activate your ASCII keyboard. See the keyboard
settings on Page 66
Install a VS20-VGA and Connect a VGA Monitor
When you connect a color VGA monitor (purchased separately) to a VS20-VGA
(purchased separately) installed in your VS-2000, the VS-2000 becomes even easier to
use. By manipulating its controls onscreen using your mouse, everything becomes a
simple matter of pointing and clicking. You can use the VGA as your main display and
the VS-2000's internal LCD as a supplemental Info Display, or the other way around.
See Page 381 to learn more.
You can use any standard VGA display that has a refresh rate from 60-75 Hz. Connect
your monitor's DB-15-type VGA cable to the VS20-VGA's VGA OUT jack.
Connect Monitors or Headphones
The connections you'll make depend on how you'll be listening to the VS-2000:
•
When using the COAXIAL OUT for monitoring, you'll need to configure the
VS-2000 as described in "If You're Using DS-Series Monitors" on Page 75.
•
•
Connect All Other Devices
Connect any other devices to the appropriate VS-2000 jacks or connectors. If you're
unsure which jack or connector to use, consult the device's documentation.
64
If you're going to be listening to the VS-2000 through DS-series monitors, you can
connect the VS-2000's COAXIAL OUT to the monitors' COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT.
Make sure the DS-90's or DS-50A's Digital Input Select Switch is set to COAXIAL,
and that its Input Select Switch is set to DIGITAL INPUT. See your DS-series
Owner's Manual for more information.
If you're using other monitors, connect the VS-2000's MONITOR L and R jacks to
the left and right inputs, respectively, of your speaker system.
If you're using headphones, connect them to the PHONES jack.
