'Video shift'

Use this feature to adjust the position of the picture on your TV left or right using D , C to suit your TV set.

'Video output'

Since RGB and S-Video signals sometimes use the same connections on a scart cable, the two signals cannot be transmitted simultaneously. With these settings, you can decide whether RGB or S-Video signals should be transmitted. This setting affects only the scart sockets of the DVD recorder ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/Ooutput socket and EXT 2 AUX-I/Oinput socket).

Please also observe which signals are available at which scart socket of the TV set or how the scart sockets need to be switched.

If necessary, consult the instruction manual of your TV set.

Which settings can I select?
'RGB + CVBS' Depending on the TV set you are using, switching between the
'RGB' and the 'Video(CVBS/FBAS)' signal is done automatically.
If the picture scrolls to the side or the colour quality is poor
on some TV sets when the setting is 'RGB + CVBS', you
must select 'CVBS only'.
'S-video only' Both scart sockets ( EXT 1 TO TV-I/Ooutput socket and
EXT 2 AUX-I/Oinput socket) process only the S-Video signal.
In case the scart socket of the TV set is not suitable for S-Video
(Y/C) signals, you will only see a black-and-white picture,
although the recording will be made in colour.
Moreover, only the video (CVBS, FBAS) signal will be used for
recordings via the EXT 1 TO TV-I/Oscart socket.
Please observe that when making recordings from a video
recorder that transmits only video (CVBS/FBAS) signals through
the scart cable, recordings via scart socket	EXT 2
AUX-I/Omay be made in black and white.
Therefore, use this setting with caution.
'CVBS only' Only the video (CVBS/FBAS) signal is transmitted regardless of
the video signals (RGB, Y/C) on the scart sockets. This setting is
selected automatically when no 'RGB' or 'S-VIDEO' signal is
detected at the scart socket.
When selecting the settings 'S-video only' or 'CVBS only', the RGB signal		?
is switched off.
