There are a number of possible ways to hook up the amplifier to your video components, like a DVD player, and
hook up to your amplifier to your TV, but some of them won't allow you to use the on-screen display of this unit.
To avoid this one simply needs to follow two rules.
1
Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the amplifier as you use to
hook up the amplifier and your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD and
the amplifier, use composite video cords to hook up the amplifier to your TV. If you use S video cords to hook
up your DVD and the amplifier, use S video cords to hook up the amplifier to your TV.
2
Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel (for example, video 1). Your TV may have a
number of input channels and if you don't select the proper one you won't be able to use this amplifier's on-
screen display, or, in fact, see any picture from this amplifier at all. If you are unsure how to choose an input
channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.
You might, for example, use both composite and S video cords to hook up your video components with this
amplifier and then use composite video cords to hook up this amplifier to your TV. This arrangement would still
NOT let you see the on screen displays from this amplifier on your TV. The best idea is just to use one type of
video cord for all your video component and TV hook ups.
Switching video system between PAL and NTSC
This amplifier is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) and you need to set the
amplifier to the type of video system you have, either PAL or NTSC. If you do not match the system on the
amplifier with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. People with multi-system TVs, don’t need to
worry about changing the setting. If necessary, follow the instructions below to switch the type of video
system.
1
Put the amplifier in the STANDBY mode.
2
While holding down the LOUDNESS button
press the STANDBY/ON button.
The video system type, either "PAL" or
"NTSC", appears in the display. It will be
shown for about seven seconds and then
the amplifier returns to normal operating
mode.
Be careful to press the LOUDNESS button and NOT
the DIRECT button, which will accidentally clear all
your speaker settings (see warning p.69).
