Note the following points when you switch video using the touch panel.

• Move the video fader all the way to the end of its stroke. The bus of one end is the target for switching. The touch panel cannot be used for

switching if the fader has not been moved all the way to one end.

• The touch panel cannot be used for switching while the menu screen is displayed. Exit the menu when you switch using the touch panel.
