Press the INPUT SELECT button of a channel to which an image is being input. Verify that the image is correctly
shown on the television monitor or projector connected to the OUTPUT connector.
Try switching the input channel, and verify that the image shown in the television monitor or projector is switched
accordingly.
* The input from the S-video connector takes priority for channels 5–8.

Move the video fader to the bus A position.
Switch between inputs by successively pressing the INPUT SELECT
[1]–[PC/8] buttons for bus A.
Move the video fader to the bus B position.
Switch between inputs by successively pressing the INPUT SELECT
[1]–[PC/8] buttons for bus B.
When you use the [PC INPUT SELECT] switch to switch the PC input, it will take some time for the input to stabilize.
We recommend that you use a monitor to verify the image.
In addition, selecting the PC input may cause the image display position to be skewed for some computers. Use the
PC input adjustment menu to adjust the screen display position. For details, refer to “Adjusting the PC Input Image”
(p. 54).
* When displaying moving images from a PC input, skew or flickering may occur in the image. For details, refer to
“Skewed or Flickering Images (Tearing)” (p. 55).
You can output a blue back to the final output image and to the preview of the final output image. Blue back output is
switched on/off using “No Signal Blueback” in the “Utility” menu.
* For details on menu operations, refer to “Menu Operations” (p. 23).
