Connections
Before connecting
●
Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
●
Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
●
Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
•
When connecting a cable to the unit or a device connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby metallic objects
to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
•
Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the unit or to the unit body. The longer the cable,
the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it
is more susceptible to noise.
•
When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a
straight manner.
●
Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied with
the device nor available as an option.
●
If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is large, it may come in contact with the periphery such as a
back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug size for the
terminal alignment.
●
If video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble. In this case,
a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
●
When the sync signals output form PC or video equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing settings of
video output, the colour of the video may be disturbed temporarily.
●
The unit accepts Composite video signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals, analogue RGB signals and digital signals.
●
Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.
●
Use cable compensator when you connect devices to the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may not
display properly.
●
Refer to “Preset Signals” (see page 102) for the types of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.
