EVICES
On a low-voltage differential (LVD) bus, if the jukebox senses a single-ended device on the bus, the bus will be oper-
ated as a single-ended bus.
You must not mix high-voltage differential buses with either low-voltage differential or sin-
gle-ended buses. High-voltage signals are on different pins and may damage low-voltage differential circuits.
