Troubleshooting

If one or two colors are missing on one of the S-Video monitors,

make sure all connections to the splitter are secure. Make sure the

monitor connectors are tight.

One common cause of problems with S-Video connections is

the reversal of the Y (luminance) and C (Chrominance) channels.

This is a common mistake made when trying to make S-Video

connections using separate coax cables and connections for the Y

and C channels.

Of course, if you have any questions about the operation of these

splitters or are experiencing difficulties, please give us a call or

FAX us a question or description of your problem.
