CV and S/YUV LED's will alternate as a confirmation. If the encode button is pressed and held again the DAC-2 will go back into its initial “default mode”. This is confirmed with the 12bit and 16 bit encode LED's staying light for about 2 seconds.
REAR PANEL CONNECTION: Note: The DAC-2 can't provide Component Y.U.V. and S (Y/C) output at the same time.

If you plug in the S (Y/C) cable at the S (Y/C) output jack, you will only enable the S (Y/C) signal output.
