This button specifies the zooming area in the multi-
screen output picture. Pressing this button displays the
“+” sign representing the center of the area to be
enlarged. While the “+” sign is displayed for 5 seconds,
move the “+” sign with the cursor buttons to the desired
position and press the Increment (+) button. The desig-
nated area is enlarged.

MENU/ESC Button (MENU/ESC)
Pressing this button for 2 seconds or more opens the
Setup Menu of the Video Multiplexer. If pressed for less
than 1 second, it functions as the Escape button and
returns you to the previous menu.
To close the Setup menu when the setup is completed,
press the button for 2 seconds.
Notes:
• Make sure to distinguish between 1-second and 2-
second operation of this button.
• Opening the Setup menu does not affect the
recording signal (REC OUT) output from the rear
panel.
!4
VCR/Camera Selection Button (VCR/CAM)
This button selects either VCR playback or the camera
picture for display on the monitor. At the same time, it
disables or enables recording on the VCR, since the
connected VCR performs only playback or recording at
a time. The playback picture is displayed on the moni-
tor if you start playing back the VCR while the LED
(Green) is on. The camera picture is displayed on the
monitor while the LED is off. The camera picture is
recorded on the tape if you start the VCR recording.
Notes:
• If PLAYBACK AUTO is set to ON in the setup,
pressing this button is ignored, instead this button
follows the VCR status automatically. VCR is select-
ed while playing back, and CAMERA is selected
during non-playback mode of the VCR.
• There may be a delay of a few seconds after
switching this button between VCR and CAMERA
when PLAYBACK AUTO is ON.
* The picture may be disturbed for a moment after
switch between VCR and camera.
• Blinking of the LED is a warning that the ID code is
missing in the playback signal. This may happen
when using certain VCR types. In this case, the
playback picture goes straight to the monitor
instead of through the Video Multiplexer. As a
result, the playback picture will not be recognizable
unless only a single channel is recorded throughout
the tape.
The 4A screen is a compressed picture of channels
1 through 4, the 4B of channels 5 through 8, the 4C
of channels 9 through 12, and the 4D of channels
13 through 16. The 9-segment screen shows the
pictures of channels 1 through 9 in a 3x3 pattern.

ture recorded on the tape. When the VCR is in playback
