Connect the OUTPUT monitor to the MX-1 OUTPUT jacks:
• If you will be recording the Mixer's output (as in a video production
setup), connect the MX-1 video OUT to the VIDEO IN of the Record VCR
(B). Then connect a television or monitor to the Record VCR (A), as
described in the manual that came with the VCR.
You can use either S-video (Y/C) or composite (RCA-style) cables to
connect the MX-1 to the VCR. You can use S-video, composite, or RF
(cable/antenna) cables to connect the VCR and the television/monitor.
Connect the MX-1 audio OUT (marked L and R) to the Record VCR's
AUDIO IN (C).
• If you will not be recording the Mixer's output, connect the MX-1 video
OUT to the VIDEO IN of a monitor. You can use S-video (Y/C) or compos-
ite (RCA-style) cables for this connection. If you are using a television with
no VIDEO input (that is, it has only an RF (cable/antenna) jack, you will
need a VCR or an "RF modulator" to connect the MX-1 to it.
Connect the MX-1 audio OUT (marked L and R) to the monitor's AUDIO
IN or to an external amplifier and speakers.
Set the OUTPUT monitor's input switch.
If the television/monitor you are using has an input selection switch, set it
so it is displaying the correct input. For instance, if you have connected to
the monitor's VIDEO 1 input jack, you would choose VIDEO 1 as your
input. Refer to the manual that came with your monitor for details.
Set the Record VCR input.
This step is important. Set the VCR's controls so that it will record what-
ever comes into its VIDEO IN jack, rather than recording a broadcast
channel. Different VCRs use different methods to do this. Your VCR's
manual should explain how, probably in a section that discusses copying
tapes from a camcorder. Here are some common examples:
• Most VCRs have an input selector switch that goes between LINE (or AUX,
EXT, A/V, or S) and TUNER:
Set the switch to LINE. Some VCRs have more than one VIDEO IN jack
(perhaps one is S-video and one is composite). Set the switch to match the
jack you are using to connect to the MX-1.
• Some use a button on the remote control or an on-screen menu to choose
an external line source.
