Adjusting the Signals

You can adjust each signal level of the component output signal and the chrominance signal gain level of the composite signal.

Connect the reference video (black burst) signal one- to-one with a device that generates the reference video signal, or make a loop-through connection. If the device has a terminal switch, terminate the connection properly.

You need both a waveform monitor and a vectorscope to display the component signals.

Notes

•You cannot adjust the Y level of the component signal, that of the composite signal and that of the S- video signal independently.

•The chrominance levels of the composite and S-video signals are affected by the adjustment of the R-Y and B-Y levels of the component signal.

•Adjust the output level while playing the tape.

•You cannot adjust the signals output from the DV jack.

Adjusting the component signal level

1 Play back a tape to output the signals from the Y, R-Y and B-Y connectors of the COMPONENT OUT connectors.

The waveform monitor displays the relevant information.

2 Adjust the Y, R-Y, and B-Y signal levels in PB LEVEL on the VIDEO SET menu.

Y LEVEL: Adjusts the Y signal level.

R-Y LEVEL: Adjusts the R-Y signal level.

B-Y LEVEL: Adjusts the B-Y signal level.

For details on “PB LEVEL,” see “VIDEO SET menu” on page 86 (GB).

Adjusting the chrominance signal gain level of the composite signal

1 Play back a tape to output the signals from the VIDEO OUT connector.

The vectorscope displays the relevant information.

2 Adjust the chrominance signal gain level in PB LEVEL on the VIDEO SET menu.

For details on “PB LEVEL,” see “VIDEO SET menu” on page 86 (GB).
