V883 INSTALLATION MANUAL
SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Video image is not optimal
(i.e., fuzzy, blurry, smeared,
ghosted, or dull). 1. In-house video wiring picking
up noise from high-voltage lines
or other source of interference.
Video Quality
Verify/correct video wiring.
2. In-house coax runs have sharp
bends or using poor quality
cable. Make gradual bends in coax when
running wire. Use high-quality
RG-6 coaxial cable.
3. Video wiring bad/damaged.
4. Incorrect 75 Ohm DIP switch
setting when sharing sources or
utilizing multiple chassis. Verify/correct 75 Ohm DIP switch
settings.
Verify/correct component video
input/output wiring. 1. Component video cables con-
nected to wrong type (Y, P
B , P R )
of inputs/outputs at V883 or
TV/monitor.
Do not run video wiring near AC
lines. If necessary, cross AC lines
at 90 degrees.
Video image colors incorrect,
scrambled, jagged lines, etc.
2. One or more component video
connections (Y, P
B , P R ) not
made.
Verify/correct component video
input/output wiring.
SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Video does not appear on desired
TV/monitor. Front of V883 displays
correct source/zone.
1. V883 output cables incorrectly
routed. TV/monitor connected
to incorrect output.
Video Switching
Incorrect source displays on
TV/monitor. Front of V883 displays
correct source/zone.
Incorrect programming. Verify/correct IR programming.

Verify/correct video input wiring. V883 input cables incorrectly
routed. Source connected to
incorrect V883 input.
Verify/correct video output wiring.
Incorrect source displays on
TV/monitor. Front of V883 displays
incorrect source/zone.
Component video sources display
correctly, composite source does
not display at all.
1. Composite video source not
connected to same type (Y, P
B , P R )
input as TV/monitor.
Ensure same type (Y, P B , P R ) input
& output used for all composite
video sources and TVs/monitors.
2. TV/monitor has incorrect input
selected. Select correct composite video
input on TV/monitor.
