PREPARATION

mConnecting to S VIDEO terminals

If your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. and your monitor are equipped with “S” video terminals, connect them to this unit’s S VIDEO terminals, and connect this unit’s S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the “S” video input of your monitor. With this connection, you can play back and record high quality pictures. Otherwise, connect the “composite” video terminals from your video cassette recorder, LD player, etc. to the VIDEO terminals of this unit, and connect this unit’s VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal to the “composite” video input of your monitor.

Note

If video signals are sent to both S VIDEO input and VIDEO input terminals, the signals will be sent to their respective output terminals.

Notes about the Video superimpose

If you watch a video source that is connected to both S VIDEO and VIDEO input terminals of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from only the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal.

When no video signal is input to either S VIDEO or VIDEO input terminals of this unit, signals of screen display information are output from both S VIDEO MONITOR OUT and VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminals with a color background.

*For China and General models, if the PAL/NTSC switch on the rear panel is set to “PAL”, nothing will be output from either S VIDEO MONITOR OUT or VIDEO MONITOR OUT terminal in this case.

S VIDEO terminals

This unit provides you with S VIDEO terminals in addition to standard type VIDEO terminals.

S VIDEO terminals transmit video signals separated into luminance (Y) signals and color (C) signals. In comparison with S VIDEO terminals, standard type VIDEO terminals transmit “composite” video signals.
