• The video signal output from this connector is not
synchronized with the video signal output from the
line-out connectors (COMPONENT OUTPUT, S
VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT2). When the unit is in
the EE mode, the output pictures are delayed by
several lines. When played, the picture is not
externally synchronized — only vertically
synchronized. You cannot adjust the sync and
subcarrier phases.
• If DV input has been selected, color and luminance
may be distorted in the EE mode, depending on the
monitor type.
