5.Connecting a television monitor or projector (MONITOR OUT)

The DTR-8.3 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.

Using an RCA video cable, connect the video input jack (composite) of the device to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the DTR-8.3. Or if the device has an S video input jack, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the DTR-8.3 using an S video cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, connect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the DTR-8.3.

For USA and Canadian models:

Note that the OSD Menu data will be output to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks. When you connect any OSD-specific monitor TV to the VIDEO connectors, you can disable the OSD output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. To disable the OSD output, select Setup Menu Preference OSD Setup Component Video, and then select “Not Activated” (See page 63).

For Australian model:

Note that the OSD Menu data will be output to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO and S VIDEO jacks, and will not output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jack.

6. Connecting a video cassette recorder (VIDEO 1)

Using RCA video cables, connect the video output jack (composite) of the video cassette recorder to the VIDEO 1 VIDEO IN jack of the DTR-8.3 and connect the video input jack of the video cassette recorder to the VIDEO 1 VIDEO OUT jack of the DTR-8.3. Or if the video cassette recorder has S video input and output jacks, connect them to the VIDEO 1 S VIDEO IN and OUT jacks of the DTR-8.3 using S video cables. Or if the video cassette recorder has component video outputs, connect them to one of the banks of COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks on the DTR-8.3.

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the VIDEO 1 input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks.

If you connect the video cassette recorder to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks, this must be changed at Setup Menu Input Setup Video Setup Component Video (see page 51).

Using RCA audio cable, connect the audio output jacks of the video cassette recorder to the VIDEO 1 AUDIO IN jacks of the DTR-8.3 and connect the audio input jacks of the video cassette recorder to the VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT jacks of the DTR-8.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

If you are connecting a digital output device to the VIDEO 1 jack instead of a VCR, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the VIDEO 1 input source is set for digital input at the COAX 2 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at Setup Menu Input Setup Digital Setup (see page 49).
