adding VS8F-2 or VS8F-3 expansion boards (both sold separately).A total of two boards

Each VS8F-2 board provides two effects.If you install two VS8F-2 boards, you will be
able to use a maximum of six stereo effects (EFFECT 1 through EFFECT 6). The effects
provided by the VS8F-2 are the same as the effects of the built-in effects processors.
VS8F-3 (sold separately)
Installing a VS8F-3 lets you use external plug-in effects.In order to use the VS8F-3, you
will need to install system software that supports plug-in effects.Refer to the VS8F-3

Installation Precautions
•To avoid damaging internal components as a result of static electricity, please
carefully observe the following precautions whenever you handle a VS8F-2/VS8F-3.
• Before you touch the board, always first touch a metal object—such as a water
pipe—so you’re sure any static electricity you may have been carrying is
discharged before you touch the VS8F-2/VS8F-3.
•When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of its
electronic components or connectors.
•Save the bag in which the VS8F-2/VS8F-3 was shipped, and put the board back
into the bag should you need to store or transport the board.
• Use the correct Phillips screwdriver—a Number 2 screwdriver—for the size of the
VS-2000’s screws. The head of the screw may become stripped if you use the wrong
screwdriver.
•To remove a screw, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, turn
the screwdriver clockwise.
•When installing a VS8F-2/VS8F-3 effect expansion board, remove only the specified
screws.
• Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the VS-2000.
• Re-attach the VS-2000’s bottom cover after the installation—do not leave its internal
components exposed.
• Do not touch any printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
• Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
Install only the specified circuit board(s), Model No. VS8F-2/VS8F-3. Remove only the
specified screws.
