Sim2 Multimedia RTX 55TV Selecting the AUDIO-VIDEO Source, Looping TWO Sockets Together

SELECTING THE AUDIO-VIDEO SOURCE

Having connected any external appliances to the RTX 55TV by plugging in the relative cables, the socket to which each one is connected must be selected via the OSD before the corre- sponding audio/visual signal can be reproduced. This is done internally of a menu activated by pressing the AV button [10], dedicated to selection of the sockets. Proceed as follows:

Press the AV button [10] to display the list of socket ports available and select the code of the one to which the external appliance is connected.

We can now look in detail at how to make a correct selection of the socket from which the RTX 55TV picks up the audio-video signal.

The menu displays the following options:

AV	(RF)
AV-1	(SC1)
AV-1-RGB	(SC1)
AV-2	(SC2)	OK
AV-3	(CVBS)
AV-3 YC	(SVHS)

•“TV” displays the signal coming from the AERIAL SOCKET. Note: If the intention is to connect a video recorder to this socket, the audio-video signal must first be tuned and stored before you can view it on the screen, as described in “Tuning and storing channels Manually”.

In this instance, set number “0” as the “Programme” number and number “36” (or whatever number is specified in the video recorder handbook) as the “Channel”.

•“AV-1”displays the signal from the SCART 1 SOCKET; plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.

Note: This socket can also receive an RGB video signal, and accordingly, if the external appliance is one that supplies an RGB signal to the socket, select the next option “AV-1 RGB”.

•“AV-2”displays the signal from the SCART 2 SOCKET; plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.

•“AV-3”displays the signal coming from the CINCH VIDEO SOCKETS into which a cable with an RCA type connector has been plugged. Plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.

•“AV-3 Y/C” displays the signal coming from the SOCKET into which a cable with a mini-DIN type connector has been plugged. Plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.

•“AV DVD” displays the components signal coming from the three sockets Y, Cr and Cb, or the RGBs signal coming from the four sockets G, R, B (which coincide with Y, Cr, Cb) and Sync. Plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.15 kHz inputs only are ac- cepted.

•“Graphic Mode” displays the signal coming from the GRAPHIC INPUT socket. Plug the audio cables into the AUDIO L/R sockets serving this group of connectors.

Making this selection, your RTX 55TV will be switched to

GRAPHIC MONITOR mode.

Certain adjustments can be made to the “HI-FI”and “SUB- WOOFER” socket ports, which carry audio signals only; these are described further on.

LOOPING TWO SOCKETS TOGETHER

The RTX 55TV can be used as an interfacing ‘bridge’ through which to route an audio-video signal ENTERING the appliance from an external appliance connected to one of the three soc- kets listed below, and LEAVING by way of the Scart 2 socket (labelled AV-2), to which another appliance is connected. The connection between the two sockets is made as follows:

1)Press the AV button [10] to display the connections menu and select the code for the socket to which the source appliance is connected;

2)Press the blue button [3] to display the Other Functions

menu; select “Output AV-2” and then select one of the three following options:

•“TV” if the signal comes from the AERIAL SOCKET.

•“AV-1”if the signal comes from the SCART 1 SOCKET.

•“AV-3”if the signal comes from the CINCH VIDEO SOCKETS.

TUNING AND PROGRAMMING (TV MODE)

This section explains how to tune terrestrial channels received via the aerial. You can tune and store channels in programme numbers using one of two procedures: MANUAL or AUTO-

MATIC.
