M300/ M301 Re:connect Video switch Installation In order to be able to work comfortably with the wealth of multimedia devices that are available, the video and audio signals need to be controlled intelligently. The M300 and M301 Video switch from REVOX offers you this comfort in some impressive ways. It can receive many different video and audio signals and then transmits them on to the correct devices.
M300/ M301 Re:connect M300 SCART version M301 RCA plug version The M300 is connected to the M51 DVD MKII module using a fully switched, 21-pin SCART cable as shown in the figure below. The SCART cable delivered with the M51 fulfils these requirements perfectly. You will need two RCA stereo pairs for the video signals and two RCA stereo pairs for the audio signals to connect the M301 with the M51 DVD RCA module.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Video switch principle Essentially, the M300/ M301 video switch is a set of external connections where different video output and different recording devices can be connected. Connecting a video switch adds an additional 6 video sources (Video 1...6) to the M51 Source menu. These additional video sources appear automatically in the M51 Source menu.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Connection options The figure below gives you an overview of the connection options that the M300 and/ or M301 offer. In order to make this possible, there must either be a SCART connection to the television or the TV audio output must be connected to the Audio IN on the monitor field on the M300/M301 with a stereo RCA cable.

M300/ M301 Re:connect Format ⇔ Quality Video format The quality of the picture reproduction depends to a large extent on the video format you use. Using the video switch, you connect different video formats to the inputs as well as the monitor output. The more parameters that affect the picture, such as brightness, colour and contrast, that are grouped together, the worse the quality of the picture will be.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Monitor connection panel SCART output features The monitor connection panel is set out the same for the M300 and the M301 versions of the video switch. If your device is fitted with a SCART input, this is the recommended connection to use as you can also output a 6/12 voltage through the SCART connector. This switching voltage automatically switches on the TV device with the correct input, once an RGB signal is present from the M51 or the Video 5 or Video 6 sources.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Video switch operation Selecting the recording source Selecting the video source The different sources are selected through the SOURCE menu. Press the Source button on the M51 and the following menu appears: If you want to make a recording using a device such as a video recorder, for example, the M51 needs to know which source is to be recorded from. To do this, select the source as described previously in the Selecting the video source chapter and then press the Record softkey.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Modifying source names Free selection of the listening source while recording The video switch offers you the option of selecting your own names for the inputs. You no longer have to remember which external device is connected to which input. You can assign names that tell you immediately what is connected where. The M51 also offers you the option of listening to one source at the same time as you record another.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Edit function The following name changing options are available: The Å Cursor softkey moves the [ ] cursor to the left Please note The CursorÆ moves the [ ] cursor to the right Whenever you can change a setting using the rotary control knob in the next section, the area to be modified appears in the display between two square brackets [...]. At the same time, the small red Jog light next to the knob on the M51 lights up.
M300/ M301 Edit characters Re:connect Once the required source name has been selected in this way, it can be saved with the Store softkey. ½[ ] The actual modification of the individual characters (letters and digits) is done through the rotary control knob. When you turn the knob, upper case letters appear in alphabetical order, followed by lower case and then the digits from 0 - 9. This order can be reversed by turning the knob in the opposite direction.
M300/ M301 Re:connect Restoring standard names You are then returned to the Setup menu. If you want to change a modified source name back to the factory setting, select the corresponding video source from the SOURCE menu. The standard name is now restored. In our example, this would be Video-1. This is possible with: Video 1 to Video 6 and TV You call up this function by pressing the Setup key for about 2 seconds and then pressing the Source softkey.
