| Q3: |
Why does the IC sometimes fail when it is turned on? |
| A3: |
We suggest that you connect a capacitor (0.1uF) between SLEEP and Vcc to make sure that the IC is reset when it is powered on. |

| Q4: |
Why do the colors look incorrect? |
| A4: |
It could be that the output waveform is not at the correct level. You have to adjust the value of the resistor connected to FADJ. A suggested value of the resistor is 850 ohms. |

| Q5: |
Can I use S-video and composite video at the same time? |
| A5: |
No. Only one format can be chosen at a time. In the CS8552, you can select S-video or composite video. But in the CS8553, you can only select composite video. |
