Machine Noise Information Ordinance 3. GSGV,
January 18, 1991: The sound pressure level at the
operator position is equal or less than 70 dB(A)
according to ISO 7779.

Improper operations, in particular alternation of high
voltage or changing the type of tube may result in x-ray
emission of considerable dose. A unit altered in such a
way no longer meets the standards of certification, and
must therefore no longer be operated.

FCC INFORMATION (U.S.A. only)

CAUTION: Changes or modification not approved by

JVC could void the user's authority to operate the

BASIC CONNECTION EXAMPLE

Notes:

•

Before connecting your system, make sure that all units are turned off.

•

The illustration below shows some examples of different connections. Terminal connections may differ depending on the component connected.
Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the unit(s) you are connecting.

•

Each pair of input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are bridge-connected.

•

If you’re not connecting any equipment to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any other cables to the bridged output (OUT)
terminal as this will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto terminate function).

•

When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video components.
(For example, if both terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except during playback. This is caused by the same video
signal “looping” between the VCRs, and is not a malfunction.)

•

Select the video input signal (INPUT A(VIDEO) or INPUT B (VIDEO/Y/C)) with the INPUT SELECT buttons on the front panel. When both
VIDEO B terminals are connected (input) at the same time, the Y/C terminal has priority.

HOW TO USE EXTERNAL
CONTROL

 ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL

This monitor is provided with an external control terminal. MAKE (make contact) or TRIG. (trigger) system can be selected by
the setting of REMOTE SYSTEM in the <SET-UP MENU>.
MAKE (make contact system) : The function is controlled by short-circuiting or disconnecting each control terminal with pin 15

(GND).

TRIG. (trigger system) : The function is controlled by short-circuiting with pulses (for about 1 second) (short-circuit/open

with the 15th pin GND).

* The 14th pin (REMOTE ENABLE) is controlled with MAKE even though TRIG. is selected.

Note:

● When this monitor is externally controlled, the following buttons are disabled.
MAKE: INPUT-A and B, UNDER SCAN on the front panel.

*1 : OFF stands for disconnection, and ON stands for short-circuit.
*2 : Do not connect.
*3 : Setting REMOTE ENABLE to ON enables remote control from the REMOTE terminal.
*4 : INPUT REMOTE setting in the set-up menu (REMOTE SYSTEM shown only when MAKE is selected.)

For the D-sub pins 2 and 3, 2-pin or 1-pin control can be set with INPUT REMOTE in the set-up menu.

•2-pin control: Only the specified signal line in INPUT-A or B is short-circuited.

•1-pin control: Switches between INPUT-A and INPUT-B only with the 2nd pin of the D-sub connector.
OFF: INPUT A
ON : INPUT B

Connections

Connect (short-circuit) the 15th terminal (GND) to each of the 1st through 14th terminals in the
3-lines 15-pins D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.

NOTES :

● When both INPUT A and INPUT B are selected (short-circuited) under the MAKE system, INPUT A has priority.

● To control INPUT A and INPUT B in MAKE mode, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when

another switch is turned on.
To control INPUT A and INPUT B in TRG. mode, we recommend using the return switch, which stays ON while pressed.
