F1:AUDIO LEVEL Control
The setting of this screwdriver adjustment determines the audio input signal level. After system
audio modulation levels are properly set, and with left and right audio signals within the 250
mVrms to 2.5 V rms range, set this control to a point where the OVERMODULATION
indicator just remains off (see item F5).
F2:
TEST TONE Switch
Switch to the ‘ON’ position to enable an internal test tone to aid system audio level setup. See
the ‘Installation’ section of this manual for setup information. The normal position of this
switch is the ‘OFF’ position.
F3:
PILOT LOCK Indicator
Lights to indicate that a video signal is applied to the rear panel VIDEO INPUT connector and
that the STEREO ENCODER is locked to the video horizontal sync.
F4:
POWER Indicator
Lights when the unit is connected to the required source of DC power.
F5:
OVERMODULATION Indicator
Lights to indicate greater than 25 KHz of main channel deviation. After system audio
modulation levels are properly set, and with left and right audio source input, adjust the AUDIO
LEVEL control (see item F1) to a point where the OVERMODULATION indicator just remains
off.

R1:VIDEO INPUT Connector
This is the baseband video input to the STEREO ENCODER which provides the encoder
circuitry with the modulator horizontal sync information.
The baseband video to the modulator must be ‘looped through’ this input using an external ‘F’
type Tee (T) connector.
R2:
COMPOSITE AUDIO OUT Connector
This is the unbalanced composite BTSC format stereo signal output. The output from this RCA
phono receptacle must be connected to the AUDIO INPUT of the modulator.
The connected modulator audio response must be set for ‘Flat’ (pre-emphasis defeated).
R3:
DC INPUT Connector
This 3-pin connector (Male) accepts the appropriate mating DC power cable. Observe proper
orientation and wiring.
R4:STEREO AUDIO INPUT Connector
This is the left and right audio source input connector that accept the stereo L/R
plug, 3.5mm

4. INSTALLATION – AUDIO LEVEL SETTING, continued
4. Set the STEREO ENCODER TEST TONE switch to the ‘OFF’ position. Connect Left and
Right audio source signals to the STEREO ENCODER.
5. Set the ‘Audio LEVEL’ control on the STEREO ENCODER to a point where the
‘OVERMODULATION’ indicator just remains off or flashes occasionally.
The system audio levels are now properly set.
Disconnect the test equipment.
METHOD 2:(If a spectrum analyzer is not available)
1. Connect the STEREO ENCODER, A/V modulator, compatible DC power source, and
video source signal as shown on this page. Keep the ‘TEST TONE’ switch ‘OFF’ for this
procedure.
2. Connect a TV receiver (with MTS stereo capability) to the A/V modulator. Tune the TV
receiver to the same channel as the modulator output.
NOTE:Make certain that the audio response of the A/V modulator is set for ‘FLAT’
(pre-emphasis defeated).
3. Connect the audio source signal (not a tone) to either the LEFT or the RIGHT Audio Input
of the STEREO ENCODER.
4. Set the ‘Audio LEVEL’ control on the STEREO ENCODER to a point where the
‘OVERMODULATION’ indicator just remains off or flashes occasionally.
5. While monitoring the opposite audio channel from the TV receiver audio output, set the
‘Audio’ level control on the A/V modulator for a maximum (stereo) separation condition.
3. INSTALLATION – AUDIO LEVEL SETTINGS
METHOD 1:
Connect the STEREO ENCODER, Audio/Video Modulator, compatible DC power source,
video source signal and test equipment as shown.
Make certain that the audio response of the A/V modulator is set for ‘FLAT’ (pre-emphasis
defeated).

3. Adjust the ‘Audio’ control on the front panel of the connected A/V modulator for a setting
that nulls the aural carrier. If more than one null is found, use the lowest audio gain setting
that produces a null of the aural carrier.
