Note: The Audio cables (Red/White) can be connected to your stereo receiver
instead of your TV if you want to play the audio through your stereo instead of
your TV.
The Neuros OSD supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. Pressing the
NTSC/PAL/SECAM button on the remote will switch between NTSC, PAL and
SECAM. NTSC is used in the U.S..
Step 3-Connecting to Video Source
Your Neuros OSD will allow you to record video from any source. You can
connect to virtually any video source (DVD players, VCRs, Game Consoles,
Camcorders, TiVo, etc) with the included RCA composite cables
(cable with Red, Yellow, and White plugs on one end), while some
video sources allow the higher quality S-Video cable to be used.
1. Connect one of the included RCA Composite
A/V cables to the A/V IN port on the right
side of your OSD.
Note: If using S-Video, connect both the S-Video and the
RCA cables.
2. Connect the RCA composite cable ends to the corresponding A/V OUT plugs
of your video source (Yellow=Video, Red=Audio Right, White=Audio Left). If
using the S-Video cable, you will still need to connect the Red and White
RCA plugs, but not the Yellow one.
