  4. Select Output Standard:

    Locate the PAL/NTSC switch on the side of the converter. Slide the switch to select the desired output video standard (PAL or NTSC) that matches your display device's supported format.

5. Operating Instructions

Once all connections are made and the power is supplied, the converter will automatically begin processing the video signal. Ensure your display device is set to the correct AV input channel.

The M-616 converter is designed to convert video signals only. It does not support the conversion of program signals (e.g., broadcast TV channels directly). It processes the composite video (CVBS) and stereo audio (L/R) signals.

For optimal performance, ensure that the input video signal is stable and clear. The converter will adapt the incoming signal to the selected output standard (PAL or NTSC) based on the switch setting.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Kesoto M-616 converter, please follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the converter. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols, as they may damage the device.
  • Storage: Store the converter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the converter to strong impacts.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the device is placed in an area with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
