AV1 OUTPUT SIGNAL SELECTION
The AV1 IN/OUT connector accepts only a composite
signal (regular video signal), but can deliver either a
composite video signal or a Y/C signal (a signal in which
the luminance and chrominance signals are separated)
according to the setting of the rear panel AV1 OUT switch.
●If your TV's SCART connector is compatible only with
the regular video signal, set this switch to COMP.
●If your TV's SCART connector is compatible with the Y/C
signal, set this switch to Y/C. You will better enjoy high-
quality S-VHS pictures.
IMPORTANT:
●Set your TV to the VIDEO (or AV), Y/C, or RGB mode
according to the type of your TV's SCART connector.
