Connect TitleMaker 3000’s PREVIEW OUT to the VIDEO IN
jack ofthe PREVIEW monitor using acomposite (RCA-style)
cable. (If the monitor only has an RF (cable/antenna) jack,
you will need a spare VCR or an RF modulator to convert
the RCA-style output to RF.)
n Test the PREVIEW connection (if used).
Turn the PREVIEW monitor on. Activate DEMO by pressing
ACCENT and DEMO simultaneously. You should see a se-
ries of titles. Press any key to stop the demo.
n Align video output (optional).
Television screensdo not normally show theentire picture. A small amount
of each edge is normally cut off. The amount that each edge cuts off can
vary, making the image slightly off center. For normal television viewing,
this is not very important but titles tend to make any imbalance noticeable.
TitleMaker 3000 allows you to adjust the picture to center it on the screen.
To adjust the centering, pressSHIFT + POSN (Position).The indicator light
comes on the keyboard and a large rectangle is displayed on the screen.
Use the arrow keys to adjust the rectangle until it is centered and press
NEW LINE/OK. The new centering will be remembered even if you un-
plug the unit. To cancel any changes you have made, press UNDO.
You can bring centering back to the original factory setting by pressing
SHIFT + POSN (Position) again while the rectangle is displayed.
