14VIDEO INPUT JACKS: There are two video input jacks on the back of the CDG X-3 Mark II. They both serve the same pur- pose and can be used to connect two external players at a time. They are labeled separately, “DVD” (digital video disc) and “LD” (laser disc), to allow you to easily identify which jack you have connected to which player. When a DVD or LD player has been properly connected, (See “CONNECTING OTHER COMPONENTS TO THE CDG X-3 MARK II”), the television monitor connected to the CDG X-3 Mark II will display lyrics and graphics from the discs being played on the external player(s). To connect an external player use an RCA connec- tor cable. Connect either the DVD or LD VIDEO INPUT jack on the back of the CDG X-3 Mark II to the “VIDEO OUTPUT” jack on the external respective player. The basic rule is “IN- PUT” connected to OUTPUT”.
