S-video output and the composite (RCA) input, an on-screen warning
appears to remind you to use the S-video input.
Test the input connections.
Press POWER to turn the TitleMaker 2000 off. The input video is passed
through to the output, so you should see the input video on the OUTPUT
monitor.
Troubleshooting Hints
If you do not see the picture you expect, review the following hints:
• Confirm that the POWER light is on.
• Double-check the connections, especially the one from the TitleMaker
2000's VIDEO OUT to your monitor or VCR's VIDEO IN. Most problems
are caused by a cabling mistake.
• Be sure the television is set to monitor the video input you are using rather
than, say, channel 7 (see "Set the OUTPUT monitor's input switch"); and
that the VCR is set to record its video input (see "Set the Record VCR
input"). This is the second most common cause of problems.
• Check the obvious. Is everything turned on, are all switches set correctly?
Are all connections correct, with OUTs going to INs?
• If you see titles when you press PLAY but you never see the screen with
the cursor, confirm that there is nothing — not even an unconnected cable
— plugged into the PREVIEW OUT jack.
• Try swapping cables — if the problem changes when you completely
exchange two cables, you may have a bad cable.
• If you are using S-video connectors, try temporarily using the RCA con-
nectors instead.
• Jumpy or off-color recordings are often caused by poor quality originals or
by the use of commercially recorded videos as the source material. Many
recordings carry copy-protection signals designed to prevent copying.
The TitleMaker 2000 is not designed to remove copy-protection signals.
