other components which will be connected to this unit.
* When making connections, refer to the illustrations and be sure
to connect the ““IN’’, “OUT”, and ‘’L’’, ‘’R’’ terminals correctly.
* Insert the plugs securely. Improper connection can lead to the
generation of noise.
* The input and output terminals of this unit are color coded as
shown below.
White: Left (L) channel audio signal terminal
Red: Right (R) channel audio signal terminal
Yellow: This is a video signal terminal. Connect a VCR coaxial
cable (750) to it. If an audio pin plug cord is used, the video sig-
nals (picture) may sometimes be degraded.
AC outlets (UNSWITCHED)
This unit is provided with auxiliary AC outlets which are handy for
connecting a video cassette recorder or tape deck to supply power
to these units. It provides power continuously, regardless of whether
the power switch is ON or OFF.
The maximum capacity of these power outlets are 250W. Do not
attempt to exceed this capacity as this is very dangerous. Before
connecting equipment to it, verify the rated power consumption of
the equipment.
e A high voltage flows to the AC outlets and so hairpins or other
metal objects must not be inserted since this will result in an electric
shock.
Small children should not be allowed to play with these outlets.
Connecting unit to monitor television
This unit is provided with a DIRECT MONITOR output terminal and
an EFFECT MONITOR output terminal, enabling you to connect two
monitor televisions to it.

* If you connect a pin plug to the video input (VIDEO IN) or the au-
dio input (AUDIO IN) of a VCR to make a video recording, it may
be necessary, depending upon the particular VCR which is used,
to set the input switch to the external input side. With some types
of VCR, simply inserting the pin plug will cause the input to be
switched to the external input. There are also some types of VCR
which, when connected, automatically cut off the signals from
the television tuner in the unit, thus preventing a television broad-
cast from being recorded.

This unit is provided with auxiliary AC outlets which are handy for
connecting a video cassette recorder or tape deck to supply power
to these units. It provides power continuously, regardless of whether
the power switch is ON or OFF.
The maximum capacity of these power outlets are 250W. Do not
attempt to exceed this capacity as this is very dangerous. Before
connecting equipment to it, verify the rated power consumption of
the equipment.
¢ A high voltage flows to the AC outlets and so hairpins or other
metal objects must not be inserted since this will result in an electric
shock.
Small children should not be allowed to play with these outlets.

stereo amplifier, or the AUDIO IN terminals of a monitor television
which is provided with a stereo amplifier, using a pin plug cord.
VCR connection
By connecting three VCR units to terminals VCR-A, and -B, respec-
tively, you can perform playback, recording and mutual dubbing.
Connect the output terminals of the VCR to the VCR INPUT termi-
nals of this unit, and connect the input terminals of the VCR to the
VCR OUTPUT terminals of this unit.
Correctly connect the video terminal (yellow) and audio terminals
(white and red) so that the colors on the cord match the colors
on the terminals.
* Connect the audio output of a monaural type VCR to the white
L (MONO) terminal on the unit.
* |f you connect a pin plug to the video input (VIDEO IN) or the au-
dio input (AUDIO IN) of a VCR to make a video recording, it may
be necessary, depending upon the particular VCR which is used,
to set the input switch to the external input side. With some types
of VCR, simply inserting the pin plug will cause the input to be
switched to the external input. There are also some types of VCR
which, when connected, automatically cut off the signals from
the television tuner in the unit, thus preventing a television broad-
cast from being recorded.
For details, read the instruction manual of the VCR which you are
using.
VDP (video disc player) connection
Connect the video and audio terminals of the VDP to the VCR-A or
B INPUT terminals at the rear of the unit.
Connecting AUDIO INPUT terminals
You can connect a piece of audio equipment to the AUDIO INPUT
terminals, and use the program source from the audio equipment as
a sound mixing or background video audio source.
When connecting a stereo amplifier: By connecting a stereo amplifi-
er to the AUDIO INPUT terminals, you can use a program source
connected to the stereo amplifier, such as a record player, com-
pact disc player, tuner, or cassette deck, as an audio source for
this unit. ‘
Connect the TAPE REC terminals of the stereo amplifier to the AU-
DIO INPUT terminals of this unit using a pin plug cord.
When directly connecting a compact disc player or tuner, etc.: Con-
nect the OUTPUT terminals of th equipment to be connected, to
the AUDIO INPUT terminals of this unit using a pin plug cord.
IMPORTANT
Before connecting the power plug

order to match that of the area in which the unit is sold. Before con-
necting the power plug to an electrical outlet, check to be sure that
the unit is set to the proper voltage for your area. If the voltage of
the unit is improperly set, fire hazard or damage to the unit may result.
lf you find that the unit is not set to the proper voltage for your area,
follow the instructions listed below:
¢ On units not equipped with a voltage selector
Some units are not provided with a voltae selector due to jaws
and ordinances in the areas in which they are sold; these units
have been preset to a specific voltage. If you wish to use the unit
in an area with a differing voltage, consult your nearest Sansui
Service Station, or the dealer where you purchased the unit.
© Units with 120V/220V/240V VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch
These units are set at either 120V, 220V or 240V with the VOL-
TAGE

tion of more than 7 watts.
* Although it is possible to use a VHS type video camera directly,
the remote control start/stop operation may sometimes be reversed
depending upon the video camera used.
* The CAMERA terminal of this unit is a ‘‘round 10-pin J type ter-
minal’’. Consequently, when connecting the unit to a beta type
video camera (14-pin K type terminal), it is necessary to use a com-
mercially available adapter. Consult with the shop where you pur-
chased your unit.
* The CAMERA REMOTE terminal on some VCRs is of small diamter,
which may prevent the remote control cord from being used.
In such a case, it is necessary to use a 3.5 dia. 2.5 dia. conver-
sion jack.
* Some VCRs provided-with a CAMERA terminal do not have a
CAMERA REMOTE terminal. When a video camera is connected
to this unit it is not possible to remotely control such a VCR.
Connecting CONTROL Terminal
When using a VCR which is provided with a REMOTE PAUSE termi-
nal, you can control recording/pause of the VCR by connecting the

unit, or the START/STOP button of the video camera. Aiso, you can |
automatically control recording/pause of the recording VCR by syn-
chronizing the fader with the VCR.
When using the control function, connect the CONTROL terminal of
this unit to the REMOTE PAUSE terminal of the VCR using the con-
trol cable provided with the unit, then set the FADER switch to
AUTO".
Depneding on the particularly VCR used, the START and PSUE
operations may sometimes be reversed. In such a case, set the
POLARITY switch to the (—) side. for example, in the case of a
SANSUI or JVC VCR, set the POLARITY switch to the (+) side,
and in the case of a PANASONIC VCR, set it to the (—) side.
You cannot controi a VCR which has different control format such
as a VCR which does not have a REMOTE PAUSE terminal or one
which has a special plug, even though it has a REMOTE PAUSE
terminal. Also, there are some types of video cameras which can-
not be controlled by this unit. In such a case, set the control switch {] 2 Sees o Be wa

Method of operation when FADER switch at back of unit is
set to “AUTO”
When using a VCR which can be controlled by this unit, set the FADER
switch to AUTO. When using the auto mode, the picture will fade
out, then the VCR will pause, and the video alone will appear once
again on the monitor. You can thus stand by until the next fade-in
scene while watching the video on the monitor. This function is ex-
tremely convenient for tape editing, or for recording a television pro-
gram while cutting out the commercials. For example, to fade in and
fade out using blue, carry out the following procedure:
1,
AWN
ol
Press the ‘‘BLUE’’ BACKGROUND COLOR switch.
. Set the fade duration using the FADE DURATION CONTROL.
. Set the recording VCR to recording/pause.
. When the AV AUTO FADER switch is pressed, the audio will dis--
appear and only the video will remain.
. Next, press the IN/OUT switch. The picture will first fade out,
then the VCR recording/pause condition will be cancelled, and
recording will start while the video and audio fade in simul-
taneously.
. If you press the IN/OUT switch once again at the scene which you
wish to fade out, the video and audio will fade out simultaneous-
ly, and upon completion of fade-out, the VCR will once again go
into a recording/pause status. Subsequently, the video alone will
appear on the screen.
By repeating steps 5 and 6, you can perform continuous record-
ing using fade-in and fade-out.
By using the BACKGROUND COLOR switches, you can, for ex-
ample, fade in using WHITE and fade out using BLUE.
Also, by using the FADE DURATION control, you can, for exam-
ple, fade in for 5 seconds and fade out for 7 seconds.
When you wish to monitor the video and audio while fading in or
out, or after fading out, press the AV AUTO FADER switch to can-
cel the fader function.
*
When recording using the control function and auto feeder func-
tion, avery slight time will elapse between when the START
or PAUSE signal is sent to the VCR and when the VCR actual-
ly goes into the recording status. Asa result, the recorded pic-
ture may sometimes fade in or fade out in a shorter duration
than that set by the FADER DURATION control. In such a case,
increase the setting of the fade duration by a corresponding
- amount.

When you are not using the camera, disconnect the camera cable
from the CAMERA terminals.
Even in the case of a video deck which does not enable the con-
trol functions of this unit to be used, you can control the AV auto
fader of this unit using the start/stop switch of the camera.
By performing recording/pause operations of the video deck along
with the operation of the start/stop switch of the camera, you can
easily perform fade-in and fade-out recording.
* When the unit is switched ON, the IN/OUT (START/PAUSE)
switch is set to fade-out (switch indicator is out). If the AV
AUTO FADER switch is pressed ‘‘ON’’ when the unit is in this
status, the video and audio will fade out (if the FADER switch
at the back of the unit is set to “AUTO”, the video alone can
be monitored).
