Video
VIDEO OUT
You can connect Pa900 to a TV or video monitor.
Pa900 is compatible with the NTSC, PAL and
SECAM TV standard. When connecting a SECAM-
compliant TV set, select the PAL standard. However,
in this latter case, the image will be shown in black and white.
1. Connect the instrument's video output to the video input of
the television set. Depending on the type of television set, you
can use a cable of the type "RCA-to-RCA" (if the television set is
equipped with a Video Composite input), or "RCA-to-SCART"
(if the television set is equipped with a SCART connector). You
can buy the needed cables at a store that sells television equip-
ment.
2. Turn the instrument on, and press the GLOBAL button to gain
access to the Global mode. Go to the Audio & Video > Video
Out page, and select the video standard (PAL or NTSC).
3. Turn the television set on, and tune it on the correct AV input.
4. In the same page of the Global, use the Colors parameter to
choose the preferred set of colors for the lyrics and the back-
ground.
USB Device Connector
Use this connector to connect Pa900 to a personal
computer.
DEVICE

Speed). Use it to connect the Pa900 to a personal computer, and
transfer data to/from its internal memory (Disk). You can enable

MIDI over USB is supported, so you can use this connector

to make full use of this type of connection, are supplied in the
Accessory Disc that comes with the instrument, or can be down-
loaded from our.

the Controllers > Foot Controllers page of the Global mode.

ing a DS1H Damper pedal.

(master keyboard, MIDI guitar, wind
controller, MIDI accordion...), to a
series of expanders, or to a computer
