CONNECTING COMPONENTSTOYOUR
MONITOR
Your monitor has several input and output jacks that you can use with
many different types of components. This creates a great number of
connection variations.Therefore, the following section shows the
different types of jacks and examples of the types of components that can
be connected to those jacks. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to read
any connection information in other components’ user manuals as well.
BeforeYou Connect
Protect against power surges:
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
• Turn off the monitor and/or component before connecting or
disconnecting any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to
the “Important Safeguards” sheet packed with your monitor.
ANTENNA/CABLE IN
The ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack lets you connect a screw-on or push on
antenna or cable lead. Use this if you want the monitor to receive signals
through a coaxial cable from an antenna or other source, such as aVCR.
Screw-on coaxial cable
Push-on coaxial cable
You can use coaxial cables to connect devices such as:
• Antenna or cable leads
• Cable boxes
• VCRs
• Satellite receivers

Connections & Setup

AUDIO/VIDEO/S-VIDEO INPUTS
(INPUT1, INPUT2, INPUT3)
The audio jacks provide stereo sound. If your device has only one audio
output, you need to connect a “Y” adapter to your component and to both
the left and right inputs on the monitor.
The video jack provides better picture quality than coaxial cable, because
it carries only video signals.
If your device has S-Video output, use an S-Video cable to connect the
video jacks.This method separates the video signals into two separate
signals: one for color, the other for brightness.This helps prevent the signal
from degrading and results in a sharper image.
RCA cable
S-Video cable
You can use Audio/Video and S-Video jacks to connect devices such as:
• VCRs
• Satellite receivers
• DVD players
• Laserdisc players
• Camcorders
• Internet devices

Audio/Video cable
You can use Audio/Video jacks to connect devices such as:
• compatible A/V receivers
• compatible recording equipment
• PCs with a compatible graphics card
AUDIO/COMPONENTVIDEO INPUTS
These jacks let you connect a compatible component video source,
such as a DVD player or digitalTV converter box. Unlike a single
video input, component video maintains the video signal as three
separate signals.The component video connection provides optimum
quality.The audio jacks provide stereo sound. It is essential to match
the color coded connectors between a compatible device and the
monitor.

In PC Mode...
In PC mode, the last selected source (for

is what you were watching on INPUT 1,

Component Video Tip
To ensure maximum picture quality, use
three video-grade cables for theY, PB, and
PRconnections.
To View the Component Video

First, press theTV button on the remote to
make sure that the remote is in TV mode;
then press the INPUT button to scroll

AUDIO OUTPUT
FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor.This audio
output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver when you want to
control the volume through theA/V receiver.
VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output.Volume levels are
controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote
control.
EXT SPEAKERS lets you connect external left and right speakers to the
monitor. The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the monitor’s
internal speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external speakers. INT
sends audio only to the monitor’s internal speakers.

A/V Receiver & Speakers
1. Use RCA cables to connect either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT from the monitor to an A/V receiver.
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor.
This audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver
that has its own volume control.
• VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output.Volume
levels are controlled by the volume controls on the monitor
and monitor remote control.
2. Use speaker wire to connect the monitor to external speakers.
• The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the monitor’s
internal speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external and
internal speakers. INT sends audio only to the monitor’s
internal speakers.

The (S)VGA (SuperVideo Graphics Adapter) inputs let you connect
your monitor to a personal computer and internet devices.These inputs
can provide up to 800 pixel x 600 pixel resolution. How images are
displayed, however, depends on other factors such as the type of
device connected to the monitor, the media being transmitted,
graphics cards and memory allotments.
Scan Rates
The computer scan rates supported are:
• VGA 640x480, 60Hz progressive
for Projection—screens over 36”
640x480, 60/72Hz progressive
for DirectView—screens 5-36”
• (S)VGA 800x600, 60Hz progressive
• XGA 1024x768, 43Hz interlaced (available only for
DirectView—screens 5-36”)
Make sure that you appropriately adjust the display properties for your
computer.
You can change the picture mode settings for the (S)VGA inputs by
using the Picture Mode menu.To access the Picture Mode menu, press
the TV button and then the FETCH button on the remote.
Computer/Text is the default setting for the (S)VGA 1 input.This
input and setting is recommended for most PC connections when
viewing text and graphics.Text may appear crisper inText mode.
Video is the default setting for the (S)VGA 2 input.This input and
setting is recommended for high definition television (HDTV)
converter connections. Also, computer games may appear better in
Video mode.The appearance of text inVideo mode may be
improved by turning down the picture’s sharpness and contrast
(see the section “Menus and Features” for details).

1. Connect the supplied (S)VGA cable to your HD receiver and to the monitor. Due to
copyright restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition programs in high
definition format using this product.To view material in standard definition instead, you
must connect the Audio/Video jacks to the monitor.
2. Connect an RCA-type cable from the HD receiver’s AUDIO Right, Left, and VIDEO jacks to
the AUDIO IN Right, Left, andVIDEO jacks on the monitor.
3. Connect an Audio cable from the HD receiver’s AUDIO Right and Left jacks to the
monitor’s VGA Left and Right Audio inputs.
4. Connect an optional S-Video cable from the HD receiver’s S-VIDEO jack to the monitor’s S-
VIDEO jack.
Viewing the (S)VGA 2 Input
1. Turn on the monitor and the HD receiver.
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the
video inputs until you get to theVGA 2 input.
If your RCA or PROSCAN HD receiver switches from a high definition
output to a standard definition output, the monitor will automatically
switch from the high definition (S)VGA2 input channel to the standard
definition INPUT2 (VID2) channel in order for you to view the signal.
There are two situations in which this would occur:
• When recording from the HD receiver;
• When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.
Direct Channel Tuning
You can set up the monitor to
automatically tune to the (S)VGA 2 input
when you press the DIRECTV button on
the remote.This is called auto tuning.
(See “Setup” for more information.)

USB INPUTS/OUTPUT
USB (Universal Serial Bus) inputs let you connect PC-type peripheral
devices to the monitor.This includes devices such as joysticks,
keyboards, and pointing devices (mouse, trackball). There are three
USB inputs and one USB output that connects to a PC.The monitor
acts as a hub to the PC.
NOTE
The USB port will function even when
the monitor is in standby mode (off but
plugged in).
NOTE
When you plug in headphones, the
monitor’s internal and external speakers
are turned off.
When connecting devices that use a
monaural cable, such as some
camcorders, use the left input jack to get
sound from both speakers.
