Slide the switch located on the rear panel, from color to black and white to achieve this effect. Note: Some color flashing may occur with some video sources. Video Output Level – You can manually adjust the video output level by turning the Video Output Level Adjust knob on the front panel. Increase the brightness of the video output level by turning the knob as needed. Leave in center position for normal video Video Input Level Lights – These lights indicate the video level of the input signal. It is normal for the lights to fluctuate on different scenes or tapes.
