Connect a measuring instrument such as a waveform monitor to the HD output jack, and adjust the white balance while watching the waveform.

First, set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [MANUAL].

Adjust PB and PR output amplitudes to the minimum with [R]/ [B] volume controls.

Adjust PR with [R] volume control, and PB with [B] volume control.

If measuring instrument is not available, adjust the picture on the monitor screen until it turns white. In this case, high- precision white balance cannot be obtained.
