To achieve the best performance:

• Use only good quality connection cables

1

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that

may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
SP-11HD away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal q ualit y due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associa te d with low quality cables).
