2.Monitor Selection

Up to a maximum of 3 monitors can be connected to the TCS-V430A. Monitor 1ST is dedicated to Alpine’s Overhead Monitors through a proprietary mini-DIN connector. This connector carries both video and stereo audio channels. However, a separate DIN- to-RCA adapter is included to interface with any type of NTSC monitor. Monitors 2ND and 3RD are standard NTSC compatible outputs along with RCA-type, Left and Right audio outputs.

Pressing any of the monitor keys once, will activate the functions for that monitor. Repeated pressing will cycle through all of the sources for that monitor, without having to use the SOURCE keys.

Changing Sources

There are several ways to change the source displayed on each of the monitors. Press any of the MONITOR keys. The output to which the monitor is connected and the current source being displayed will be shown in its OSD (On Screen Display) for about 8 seconds.

•Direct AV Source Selection

While the OSD is active, pressing any of the SOURCE keys will change the source for the currently selected monitor. If no further keys are pressed for at least 8 seconds, the OSD will automatically turn off and the last selection will remain active.

For example:

2)The Monitor connected to the the 2ND output will display “MONITOR 2: TV”
