What Switch Settings Should I Use?
To translate component video to VGA, make sure the input switch is
in the "YPbPr" position. For VGA passthrough from a PC, set the
switch to "VGA".
In most situations, you should turn on dip switches 2 and 5, and turn
off all other switches. If this doesn't work for you, make sure your
source is properly configured (see below)
before attempting other dip switch combinations.
Dip switches in detail:
| 1 | default off; enables RGBs composite sync (can reduce flicker on some LCDs)
do not enable switches 1 and 2 at the same time |
| 2 | default on; enables RGBHV separate sync (most compatible)
do not enable switches 1 and 2 at the same time |
| 3 | default off; changes input method, but generally most compatible in the off position |
| 4 | default off; lowers the black level (slightly darker image) |
| 5 | default on; enables standard brightness curve (disable for brighter picture, but may appear washed out) |
| 6 | default off; brightness bost (may appear pale) |
No Image Displayed / Monitor Says "Signal Out of Range"
First, the basics: Make sure the VGA cable to your monitor is connected
to the "VGA Out" port, and that the VD-Z3 is switched to "YPrPb" input.
To work properly with the CSV-955A, your video source must be set to
480p, 720p, or 1080i mode. Many sources default
to 480i mode, which is not supported.
If you are using a source with two sets of component outputs, make sure
you use the Y Pb Pr output, and not the Y Cb Cr output.
If your video source has only one set of component video output, you will
probably need to change its setting to progressive-scan output.
In most game consoles, you will need to connect the component cables
in order to access the progressive-scan options. If you don't have any
way to connect the component cables to a monitor during this setup
process, try connecting the green plug to a regular TV's yellow video
input port.
Setup guides are available for various consoles:
If none of the above helps and you are trying to use 720p or 1080i
mode, change the output mode to 480p. Some monitors do not understand
widescreen signals.
Image Stretched Too Tall
Some 4:3 monitors may vertically stretch a 720p or 1080i signal. For
4:3 monitors, 480p is the recommended resolution. Alternatively, some
sources will allow you to select the shape of your monitor.
Image Stretched Too Wide
If your widescreen monitor is stretching the image, there are several
possible solutions:
- Configure your video source for widescreen (16:9 or 16:10) aspect ratio
- Configure your video source for 720p or 1080i output
- Set your monitor to 4:3 display
