is for the S-video and one for the composite video input. Each
set includes current values for color, tint, contrast and
horizontal shift settings.

2. The Min and Max LEDs both blink once when a
picture control adjustment is turned through the
default value.
3. The picture control adjustments increase or decrease
a value that is stored in nonvolatile memory. The
memory stores two sets of four values, one set for
each input. Each set includes the current values for
the four picture control adjustments.
Min LED — Blinks to indicate the minimum limit has been
11
reached for the picture control being adjusted.

adjustment is at its limit unless its adjustment knob
is being turned.
2. When the CD 900 is in executive mode (see "Setting
Up the CD 900/Rear Panel Controls"), the picture
controls are disabled and the Min and Max LEDs
both light.
3. If picture control is not available for the video type in
use (such the Tint control when the input type is
PAL), the Min and Max LEDs blink continuously
when the unavailable control knob is turned.
Operation
Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices
(DVD player, laserdisc player, DSS receiver, etc.) and the output
device. Set the input devices to output video in accordance with
their own operating instructions. The image should appear on
the screen.
For each input, adjust the picture controls (Color, Tint, Contrast,
and H Shift) for the best possible image.
To output RGB video
1.
Set the RGB/component DIP switch to the on/left
position.
2.
Set the H/HV/SOG switch to the correct position for the
video format (see "(2) H/HV/SOG switch" on page 3-3.
