41 Basic settingsVideo Norm MenuA series of different picture norms exists in the videofield. The most important of these are Standard Video(also known as FBAS, CVBS or Composite), S-Video(also known as YC or S-VHS) and Component Video(RGB or YUV; also YPbPr / YCbCr).The TV / monitor output of the K6 supports all threevideo norms. The Standard Video signal and the S-Videosignal are always available simultaneously. For thesources DVD and STB the K6 also generates a Compo-nent Video signal (assuming that a suitable device isconnected to the Component Video In input). The K6also features a VCR output which simultaneously gener-ates Standard Video and S-Video.For the Component Video output the colour norm can beswitched between RGB and YUV.To ensure that the Standard Video and S-Video outputsalways supply a picture signal, you must set which of thetwo signals is generated by the source devices con-nected to the inputs STB and VCR. The K6 then gener-ates internally the signal not produced by the device.As there are separate outputs for Standard Video, S-Video and Component Video it may be necessary toswitch to the corresponding input on the picture displaydevice.For further details on connecting and configuring sourcedevices see also the section entitled 'Installation,using the K6 for the first time'.NotesSome picture display devices support automatic formatswitching between 4:3 and 16:9 in S-Video mode. Theswitching voltage for this must be present at the C-pin ofthe YC signal, and the K6 generates this for the sourcesDVD and STB.AV signals fed in at the VCR input are not available atthe VCR output.If compatibility problems occur between the picture dis-play devices and AV source devices connected to thesystem, we recommend setting all the devices to theStandard Video norm, as virtually all equipment supportsthis norm; see also the section entitled 'Trouble-shooting'.CautionThe RGB signal does not contain synchronisation infor-mation. If you are using this mode an CVBS or YC con-nection must also be present between all the devicesusing this norm to ensure that the picture is correctlysynchronised; see also the section entitled 'Installation,using the K6 for the first time'.RGB / YUV out:This setting selects the desired colour norm for theComponent Video input and output.RGB For picture display devices with Com-ponent Video RGB connections.YUV For picture display devices with Com-ponent Video YUV connections (YPbPr/ YCbCr).STB in:In Standard Video and S-Video modes this setting se-lects whether the source device is connected to theCVBS socket (Cinch socket) or YC socket (Hosidensocket) of the STB input.CVBS CVBS connection (Standard Video)YC YC connection (S-Video)VCR in:In Standard Video and S-Video modes this setting se-lects whether the source device is connected to theCVBS socket (Cinch socket) or the YC socket (Hosidensocket) of the VCR input.CVBS CVBS connection (Standard Video)YC YC connection (S-Video)
