Getting Started
Throughout this manual you will find detailed discussions on all the features of the
product. But below are a few points to get you going with the Digital Video Machine
right out of the box!
Playing a Test Video
Every DVM comes with a Compact Flash card that is preloaded with an Alcorn
McBride test clip. The card is already installed in the DVM’s Compact Flash socket.
To get the DVM to play this test clip, please follow these step-by-step directions.
• Don’t plug anything in yet!
• Connect the red and white audio RCA jacks to an amplifier capable of
playing line level in signals.
• Set the Volume Control knob to 50%. At 50%, the notch in the volume knob
should be facing straight up (12 o’clock).
• Connect a video monitor to the yellow composite video RCA connector.
• Plug in the DVM with the included power supply. The status LED should
briefly blink green and then remain off. If this is not the case, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for assistance.
• Press the black test button located on the front-panel beside the status LED.
• Verify you see the status LED turn Green. At this time, you should be seeing
video and hearing audio.
NOTE: If you have any trouble identifying any components mentioned is this guide,
