The default settings can be modified to meet your own requirements. You should, however, note the following input and output signal allocations when doing this.

	S-VHS / Hi8			VHS		RGB
	(= Y/C =S-Video)		(= Video)
	Input	Output	Input		Output	Input
EURO 1	Yes	No	Yes		No	Yes
EURO 2	Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes	No
EURO 3	No	No	Yes		Yes	No

To change the settings, select the appropriate EURO socket with the coloured keys and then select the device to be connected with the P+ and P- keys.
