outlets available on your TV set. Plug the Power Supply adaptor to the MODIX and then into the
electrical outlet.
Using Composite Video(CVBS, Yellow) : An easy way of transferring video signals.
Connecting the Y(green), Pb(blue) and Pr(red) cable : HD component and Progressive Scan
output are available and require a special type of cable and TV set.(Not supplied)
