Video Connections

(9) COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUTS 1 THROUGH 6

These are the default video inputs. Connect the composite video output cables coming from your video sources to these inputs. Note: Take care to use inputs with the same name for the composite video, S-Video and analog audio cables from a single source. E.g. cables from a VCR (VideoCassette Recorder) should go to the VCR-VIDEO, VCR COMPOSITE VIDEO and VCR ANALOG inputs. The composite video signal is selected from these signals, and the signal is fed out from the COMPOSITE VIDEO record (REC) and monitor (MON) outputs. On Screen Display information is added to the MON output.

(10) COMPOSITE VIDEO RECORD AND MONITOR OUTPUTS

Connect the Composite Video input of your VCR to the COMPOSITE VIDEO REC output. Connect the Composite Video input of your display device (TV) to the COMPOSITE VIDEO MON output. The On Screen Display (OSD) information is present at this output. You can also use the COMPOSITE VIDEO MON output even if there is no composite video source connected. The S-Video signal you have selected is down-mixed to this output and you can use it for monitoring. Even on OSD video outputs, the OSD info can be turned off by going to the MENU function and selecting DISPLAY, then selecting OFF.

(11) COMPOSITE VIDEO ZONE AND MONITOR OUTPUTS (MONITOR WITHOUT OSD)

This is an additional Composite Video and Monitor output. You can use it for example to give a different signal to a TV located in another room called zone 2. On this Monitor output the On Screen Display (OSD) is not displayed.

(12) S-VIDEO INPUTS 1 THROUGH 6

Connect the S-Video output cables from your video sources to these inputs. Note: Take care to use inputs with the same name for the Composite Video, S-Video and analog audio cables from a single source. S-Video signals are of higher quality than Composite Video signals. So if you have a source device with S-Video outputs, we recommend you to use them, together with the S-Video inputs on your display. S-Video inputs are also automatically down-mixed to feed the Composite Video MON OSD output for displays that are without S-Video inputs.

(13) S-VIDEO MONITOR OUTPUT (WITHOUT OSD)

On this S-Video Monitor output, the On Screen Display (OSD) is not displayed.

(14) S-VIDEO MONITOR OUTPUT (WITH OSD)

On this S-Video Monitor output, the On Screen Display (OSD) is displayed, but you can switch it off by using the menu.

(15) S-VIDEO RECORD OUTPUT

Connect the S-Video input of your VCR to the S-VIDEO REC output. Connect the S-Video input of your display device (TV) to one of the two S-VIDEO MONITOR outputs (see items 13 and 14).

(23) COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Connect the three component video cables from your DVD player, HDTV tuner or HD Satellite Receiver to any of the three sets of Component Video Inputs. Make certain you follow the color coding of the jacks and cables or the labels Pb, Pr, and Y. Sometimes these are called Cb, Cr and Y instead. Connect the Component Video outputs of the ATP 8500 to the Component Video inputs on your TV.
