Notes

  • S-Video requires a breakout adapter which has chroma and luma on seperate RCA plugs.

Common Repairs

  • No color for S-Video: Clean the rear input switch with deoxit -spray directly into the side of the switch from inside the case, so that you saturate the row of pin contacts inside. Rapidly run the switch back and forth for a good 5 seconds to clean up the contacts.
  • Video drops out after a few seconds or minutes: Try cleaning the rear input switch as described above. If problem persists then order a cap kit and recap.
