External Sync Function

Other Functions

The PRV-LX1 can use an externally input sync signal (black burst) in order to synchronize the output video signal to an external signal (during DVD disc playback).

This function allows switching of the video without the need for connecting a time base corrector (TBC) component, thus allowing video switching without distortion (V roll) of the TV monitor’s image.

When the SET UP section = [Operation] = [Video Settings] = [DV OUT] command is set to “Enabled”, [External Sync] is automatically set to “Disabled”. Thereafter, even if [DV OUT] is returned to the “Disabled” setting, external sync will remain off, so manual resetting is required.

When synchronizing two or more recorders

When inputting sync signal from one sync generator to two or more recorders:

Be sure to set the final recorder’s termination switch to ON, and the other recorders’ termination switches to OFF.

When applying sync to a single recorder, set the termination switch to ON.

Caution:

The Function Menu’s SET UP section =

[Operation] = [Video Settings] = [Test Signal] command can be used to output a test pattern signal. To turn off the test pattern, press the STOP button or the FUNCTION button, or if a mouse is connected, click both right and left buttons simultaneously.

=[Test Signal]

The external sync function is applicable only to DVD disc playback.

The black burst sub-carrier component is not locked.

During the approximate 5 seconds until the external sync signal is locked, the image at each video output connector will be distorted.

Input the external sync signal before beginning DVD playback. The signal will not operate if input after playback has begun.
