중요 참고 사항:

The adapter extends from the back of the GameCube. To prevent potential stress or damage to the GameCube's Digital AV Out port, it is recommended to provide support for the adapter and the connected HDMI cable. This can be achieved using a small prop or a custom-made bracket.

4.1 On-Screen Display (OSD) and Remote Control

The included IR remote control allows you to access and navigate the adapter's On-Screen Display (OSD) to customize video settings. Use the directional buttons to navigate and the 'A' button (MENU/OK) to select options. The 'B' button (EXIT) is used to go back or exit the OSD.

Available settings may include:

  • Scan filters (e.g., scanlines)
  • Aspect ratio adjustments (e.g., 4:3, 16:9)
  • Brightness, contrast, and color settings
