Video input level display method
Whether the video input signals are being supplied
can be monitored on the level meter of the signal level
display window.
Check the video input level using 75% SMPTE color
bar signals. The level will not be displayed properly if
other video signals are used.

Betacam component level. To set them to the M
II
level, first consult your dealer, and then set SW1 on
the VIDEO JACK circuit board (located inside the
connector panel) to the M
II position.
