(A) SOLITAIRE: display
This display on the frontpanel is used for various
functions, depending on the current menu.

Behind this access panel are the front ports of
the CASABLANCA SOLITAIRE. Please do not
open it by hand. Read the following text!
(C) SOLITAIRE: Open
By softly touching this sensor button, the lid (see
item (B)) opens and offers you free access to the
front ports.
Beforehand please make sure, that your system
is on stand-by even running - power must be
present.
If you want to close the lid (e.g. for transport),
please pull out the cables and touch the button
"Open" anew, making the access panel close
automatically.
(D) SOLITAIRE: Power button
By softly touching this sensor button, the system
is switched on.

of your CASABLANCA SOLITAIRE. Please read

(1) Video IN (RCA)
This CVBS (RCA) input is used to connect (via
RCA cables) from a VHS or Video8 input device.
(2) L/R Audio IN (RCA)
To capture audio you must connect the cable to
the Audio IN L and R inputs. Sources for mi-
xing (e.g. CD player) can also be connected here
when needed.
(3) S-Video IN (YC)
If you have a Hi8 or SVHS input device, then you
should use the YC (s-video) input because pictu-
re quality will be better than CVBS (RCA).
(4) Mic. IN
You can connect a microphone to this input to
record commentary. This is a stereo input with
a 3.5 mm jack. You can use an adapter if your
microphone has a 6.3 mm jack plug.
You can also connect a mono microphone, but
be sure to set the corresponding Mono mode in
the Audio Record screen.
(5) DV IN/OUT
This "DV" connection serves as input and out-
put for MiniDV/DV decks, cameras and other
equipment with DV connectability, such as PC
systems with firewire cards, and offers optimum
quality. Be sure that only one DV device is con-
nected at any time, or errors may occur.
