However, if all audio signals to be connected are balanced, they may be wired with (+) to tip and (-) to sleeve (the input/output grounds are connected directly, bypassing the VSX41). The VSX41 may also be used as a 1-in/4-out video (or audio) "router", with a single input being switched to one of four outputs (see Applications on page 9).
