CON N ECTI NG COMPON ENTS TO YOU R 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 folFowing 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 . Before You 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 a VCR . Pcaubslhe - on coaxial r You can use coaxial cables to connect devices such as : • Antenna or cable leads • Cable boxes • VCRs • Satellite receivers 4

AU DIO / VI D EO / S - VI D EO IN PUTS ( 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 . VIDEO L AUOIO R S - VIDEO RCA If you are using an S - Video cable , you cable must also use an RCA audio cable . S - Video cable _ ENLA _ GED VlEW _ You can use audio / video and S - Video jacks to connect devices such as : VCRs • Satellite receivers DVD players • Laserdisc players • Camcorders Internet devices To View the Video Inputs . . . First , press the TV button on the remote to make sure that the remote is in TV mode ; then press the WHO - INPUT button each time you want to move to the next video input channel . 5

SELECTED AUDIO / VIDEO OUTPUTS Selected Video Output Provides audio and video output from the last selected source ( except When viewing a component connected SVGA jacks ) . to the SELECTED VIDEO OUTPUT , you get the following results based on the VIDEO provides video output . It gives better picture quality than just a displayed input : coaxial cable because it carries only video signals . • Viewing VGA Inputs ( in PC mode ) , no AUDIO L and R provide stereo sound . They give better audio quality than video is displayed just an RF coaxial cable because they carry only audio signals . • Viewing component video or S - Video input , video is displayed in black and white • Viewing composite video INPUT I , 2 , 3 , or FRONT , video is displayed in SELECTED OUTPUTS _ color . You can use audio / video jacks to connect devices such as : compatible AN receivers • compatible recording equipment • PCswith a compatible graphics card AUDIO / COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS To ensure maximum picture quality , use three video - grade cables for the Y , PR , and These jacks let you connect a compatible component video source , such Component Video Tip 1 PRconnections . as a DVD player or digital TV 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 . Green Blue Red . ed - - O O RCA cable White - To View the Component Video Input . . .
