Integration Note for other options.
3. Install the switch, the sources, amplifier, displays and speakers.
4. If using Core Module version 4.0, use VIA!Tools to configure the V883/V85 for proper zone
switching.
5. Confirm proper audio and video switching as a stand alone system.
6. Connect the g! system to the switch electrically. See the wiring diagrams for more information.
7. Configure the g! system for the switch and confirm communication between the switch and the g!
system controller. See g! Configuration Details.
