Radio Shack ARCHER 15-1275, Owner'S Manual, Page: 3 / 17

Your ARCHER® Color Processor was developed by Radio Shack to improve
the overall perform ance of your home video system. It may be used to improve
the color reproduction of programs from a VCR or video disc player. It may also
be used to im prove recordings made from one VCR to another or direct
camera-to-VCR recordings.
This unit will not create a color picture from a black and white recording.
FEATURES
• MODE Switch — Allows you to com pare the processed color signal (COLOR
position) with the unprocessed signal (BYPASS position) by moving a single
switch.
In the B/W position, you will see a pure black and white picture. Artificial
color lint will be eliminated.
• INTENSITY Control — Varies the intensity of the brightness in the TV
picture. This is sim ilar to the contrast control on your TV, but the range is
greater.
• CHROMA Control — Varies the intensity of the colors in the TV picture from
faded to “ saturated." This control works with the BURST control to
compensate for tapes that were recorded with too little or too much color.
• BURST Control — Adjusts the burst signal to give the most useful operating
range of the CHROM A control.
• HUE Control — Adjusts the hue of the color picture. This function is similar
to that of the tint control on your TV, but the range is greater. Use this
control to com pensate for tapes recorded with too much red, green, or bfue.
• SOURCE A/B Switch — Selects the signal to be processed by the Color
Processor from one of two video inputs (VCR, video disc player, or other
video source). The selected signal is sent to both OUT jacks (A/B).
Important Note
Your Color Processor must be connected to video equipm ent that has separate
audio and video jacks, such as a VCR, video disc player, or a true TV
“ monitor."
To use this unit with a regular TV (with only VHF/UHF terminals) you must
connect an RF modulator between the Color Processor and the TV, to convert
the signals to regular VHF TV signals. Radio Shack's Video Stabilizer/RF
Modulator (Cat. No. 15-1271) and Video Enhancer/Stabilizer (Cat. No, 15-1270)
contain such modulators, as do all VCRs.
