When this switch is pressed in, the signal being recorded is video enhanced. When it is out, the signal being monitored is video enhanced. DETAIL Control-This rotary control is used to compensate for detail loss (i.e. increase subtle textures and eliminate smeaing). SHARPNESS Control-This rotary control is used to increase the sharpness of the picture (i.e. sharpen edges and contours). VIDEO LEVEL Control-This rotary control is used to increase the overall level of the enhanced video signal. 0 REAR LEVEL Volume Control Wher using the AVC-50 as a rear speaker amplifier, this control raises or lowers the volume to only the speakers connected to the rear panel speaker terminals. • Video Input Source Indicators These indicators light to show which video input source is selected. Audio Input Source Indicators These indicators light to show which audio input source is selected. CO PICTURE SELECTOR This seesaw type button is used to select the video source you wish to monitor (Video Cassette Recorder 2, Video Cassette Recorder 1, Video Disc Player, or Television Tuner).

OREC OUT PICTURE Selectors These buttons are used to select the video source to be sent to the Video REC OUT terminals, enabling video recording of any source, even while monitoring another • REC OUT SOUND Selectors These buttons are used to select the audio source to be sent to the audio REC OUT terminals, enabling audio recording of any source, even while monitoring another • BASS EXTENSION Switch This switch is used to activate a Yamaha circuit which effectively extends the low frequency output of the amplifier. • HIGH FILTER Switch This switch is used to activate a Yamaha circuit which effectively eliminates high-frequency noise from the audio signal. It is most effective with video sources. lJ REMOTE CONTROL Sensor This s useo !C) receive signals from the remote control unit. 6
