BASIC CONNECTION EXAMPLE
N tes:
• Before connecting your syste , ake sure that all units are turned off. • The illustration below shows so e exa ples of different connections. Ter inal connections ay differ depending on the
co ponent connected. Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the unit(s) you are connecting.
• Each pair of input (IN) and output (OUT) ter inals are bridge-connected. • If you’re not connecting any equip ent to a bridged output (OUT) ter inal, be sure not to connect any other cables to the
bridged output (OUT) ter inal as this will cause the ter inating resistance switch to open (auto ter inate function).
• When aking a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) ter inals on the onitor to separate video
co ponents. (For exa ple, if both ter inals are connected to the sa e VCR, resonance ay occur except during playback. This is caused by the sa e video signal “looping” between the VCRs, and is not a alfunction.)
• Select the video input signal (INPUT A(VIDEO) or INPUT B (VIDEO/Y/C)) with the INPUT SELECT buttons on the front panel.
When both VIDEO B ter inals are connected (input) at the sa e ti e, the Y/C ter inal has priority.

Pr blems
N p wer supply.
N picture with the p wer n. N s und. Shaking picture. N c l rs, wr ng c l r, r dark picture. Unnatural, irregularly c l red, r dist rted picture. Dark stripes appear at the t p and b tt m f the screen, picture vertically squeezed. Functi n butt ns n the fr nt panel d n t functi n. The INPUT SELECT butt ns d n t functi n.
P ints t be checked
Is the power plug loosened or disconnected? Is the ain power turned OFF? Is the video signal output fro the connected co ponent? Is the input signal selected properly? Is the video cable disconnected? Is the audio signal output fro the connected co ponent? Is the volu e output set to ini u ? Is the audio cable disconnected? Is the onitor close to a device generating a strong agnetic field? Is the color syste selected properly? Has the picture control setting (CONTRAST, BRIGHT, CHROMA or PHASE) been changed? Is the onitor close to a speaker, agnet or any other device generating a strong agnetic field? Is the aspect ratio set to 16:9? Has control of the buttons been locked? (Has the CONTROL LOCK function been set to ON?) Is input selection under external control? (Has the INPUT REMOTE function been activated (ON)?)
Measures (Remedy)
Fir ly insert the power plug. Turn the ain power ON. (See page 6.) Set the connected co ponent correctly. Select the required video signal input with the Input select button. (See page 7.) Connect the video signal cable fir ly. (See pages 12 and 13.) Set the connected co ponent correctly. Adjust the speaker volu e with the VOLUME/ SELECT button. (See page 7.) Connect the audio signal cable fir ly. (See pags 12 and 13.) Move the device away fro the onitor until the picture stabilizes. Set COLOR SYSTEM in the <MENU> screen to AUTO. (See page 8.) Set each picture control to the standard setting. (See page 7.) Move the device away fro the onitor and turn the onitor’s power off. Wait at least 30 inutes, then turn the power on again. Set ASPECT RATIO in the <MENU> screen to [4 : 3 (4 – 3)]. (See page 8.) When controlling externally, ASPECT RATIO should be set to [4 : 3 (4 – 3)]. (See page 14.) Set CONTROL LOCK in the <SET-UP MENU> screen to OFF. (See pages 9 and 10.) Set INPUT REMOTE in the <SET-UP MENU> screen to OFF. (See pages 9 and 10.)
TROUBLESHOOTING
S luti ns t c mm n pr blems related t y ur m nit r are described here. If n ne f the s luti ns presented here s lves the pr blem, unplug the m nit r and c nsult a JVC-auth rized dealer r service center f r assistance. The f ll wing are n t malfuncti ns: ●When a bright still i age (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it ay appear to be colored. This is due to the
structure of the cathode ray tube and will be deleted when another i age is displayed.
●You experience a ild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This pheno enon is due to a nor al buildup of static
electricity on the CRT and is not har ful.
●The onitor e its a strange sound when the roo te perature changes suddenly. This is only a proble if an abnor ality
appears on the screen as well.
●If two or ore onitors are operated next to each other, their i ages ay shake or be distorted. This pheno enon is due to
utual interference; it is not a alfunction. Move the onitors away fro each other until the interference disappears or turn the power off on any onitor that is not being used.

HOW TO USE EXTERNAL CONTROL
ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL This onitor is provided with an external control ter inal. The function is controlled with H and L (short-circuit/open with the 15th pin GND) N te: ●The ASPECT RATIO or INPUT function can be controlled via the REMOTE ter inal by setting ASPECT REMOTE or INPUT
REMOTE to ON in the <SET-UP MENU> screen. (Refer to pages 9 and 10.)
C nnecti ns
Connect (short-circuit) the 15th ter inal (GND) to the 2nd or 10th ter inals in the 3-line 15-pin D-sub connector. Do not connect other ter inals.
