ensure the AC power supply is disconnected
perform these instructions at a clean, dry workspace
unless working at a properly-equipped ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge) workstation, do not touch any electronic components on the circuit board

Table 1: Changing VC-1 Default Settings
Step	Title	Description	Reference Photo
1	Remove top chassis lid	Place chassis upside-down on work surface. Use phillips screwdriver to completely loosen four retaining screws as shown in photo. It is not necessary to remove the screws at this time
2		Grasp the unit as shown, and turn upright on work surface. Note that four retaining screws will fall out onto work surface.
3		Gently lift the upper lid up and off of the enclosure. IMPORTANT: be sure the front and rear panels remain seated in the chassis bottom retaining slots while removing the lid.
4	Connect video source	Connect a suitable video source to the VC-1 input connector.
5	Power=ON	Set unit power switch to ON. Verify unit has power by observing flashing lights during boot sequence.
6	Set MODE	Locate MODE switch SW1 as shown in photo. Press and release switch until desired mode indicator is lit (click here for additional details).
7	Set LEVEL	Locate LEVEL switch SW2 as shown in photo. Press and release switch until desired level indicator is lit (click here for additional details).
8	Power = OFF	Set unit power switch to OFF.
9	Install top chassis lid	Orient the lid so that the "input" and "output" labels correspond with the rear panel connectors. For units without a silkscreened overlay on the lid, identify the "front" of the lid by locating the machined area on the inner retaining lip - refer to photo. Orient the lid so that this machined area is aligned with the power switch on the front panel.
10		Lower the lid onto the chassis, ensuring that both front and rear panels are "trapped" within their respective retaining lips in the chassis bottom and top lid.
11		Grasp the unit as in Step 2 above, and place the enclosure on the work surface, ensuring the top lid remains installed on the chassis.
12		Install four retaining screws.
