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, its a good idea to read any  
connection information in other componentsuser 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 Safeguardssheet packed with your monitor.  
An t e n n a / Ca b l e 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.

Au d io / Vid e o / S-Vid e o In p u t s  
(In p u t 1, In p u t 2, In p u t 3)  
The audio jacks provide stereo sound. If your device has only one audio  
output, you need to connect a Yadapter 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.

Component Video Tip  
Au d io / Co m p o n e n t Vid e o In p u t s  
To ensure maximum picture quality, use  
three video-grade cables for the Y, PB, and  
PR connections.  
These jacks let you connect a compatible DVD player. 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 e sse n t ia l t o m a t ch

Audio Output Tips  
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 the A/V receiver.  
You may want to adjust the monitor’s  
tone control and audio processor  
settings to enhance the audio output  
when connecting an A/V receiver to the  
Variable output jacks.  
VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are  
controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote  
control.  
You can turn off the monitor’s internal  
speakers by using the “Speaker” control  
in the Audio menu. (See the “Audio  
Menu” section for more information.)  
EXT SPEAKERS lets you connect external left and right speakers to the  
monitor. The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the monitors  
internal speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external speakers. INT  
sends audio only to the monitors internal speakers.

Viewing the (S)VGA 2 Input  
1. Turn on the monitor and the HDTV digital 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 the VGA 2 input.  
If your RCA or PROSCAN HDTV digital 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) input channel in order for you to  
view the signal. There are two situations in which this would occur:  
Direct Channel Tuning  
When recording from the HDTV digital receiver;  
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.)  
When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program  
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.

This section defines the buttons of the remote and  
how to program it to control other components.  
The universal remote can be programmed to control  
most brands of remote controllable VCRs, satellite  
receivers, and cable boxes. If you have an RCA, GE,  
or Pr o Sc a n component, you probably dont need  
to program it at all.  
Modes of Operation  
Because this universal remote can control  
several different components (DVD  
player, VCR, Cable Box, etc.) it uses  
operational modes triggered by the  
component buttons. For example if you  
want the remote to control the TV, you  
would press the TV button to put the  
remote into TV mode before you could  
control the TV.

The universal remote can be programmed to control most brands of  
remote controllable VCRs, satellite receivers and cable boxes. The remote  
is already programmed to control most Pr o Sc a n , RCA and GE TVs,  
VCRs, DVD players, laserdisc players and satellite receivers.  
Modes of Operation  
Because this universal remote can control  
several different components (DVD  
player, VCR, Cable Box, etc.) it uses  
operational modes triggered by the  
component buttons. For example if you  
want the remote to control the TV, you  
would press the TV button to put the  
remote into TV mode before you could  
control the TV.  
Te st in g t h e Re m o t e  
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed,  
turn a device ON, such as a VCR, point the remote at the VCR, and press  
the VCR1 button. Then press POWER or CH ^ (channel up) or CH v  
(channel down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If  
not, the remote needs to be programmed.

functions of your monitor.

The V-Chip inside your TV comes turned off,so if you choose not to  
implement it, you can just ignore it.  
When turned on,the V-chip reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip  
the programs age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If  
you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, This  
channel is not approved for viewing,when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to  
provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-  
based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of Not Rated, and programs that are  
considered unratedbecause no code has been sent by the broadcaster.  
The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.

PIP buttons  
While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should  
get you started. While watching the TV, follow these steps to use your  
VCR to supply the picture for PIP.  
1. Press the PIP button on the remote. The PIP window appears on the  
screen.  
2. Turn on the VCR.  
3. Press the TV button, then press WHOINPUT until you see the VCR  
signal displayed in the PIP window. The PIP window should display  
the channel that you have the VCR tuned to.  
4. At this point, in order to change the program in the PIP window,  
you need to change the channel on the VCR because that is the  
signal source for the PIP picture.  
5. Use the channel up and down buttons and the other PIP buttons,  
MOVE, SWAP and CH CTRL to adjust the two pictures.  
A typical use of SWAP is to scan through  
channels in the PIP window, and when  
you find a channel you like, press SWAP  
to display that channel in the main  
picture, sending the current channel to  
the PIP window.  
You must change the mode between the  
TV and VCR after every SWAP.

To see a different picture in the PIP  
window, you must connect another  
video source, like a VCR. This connection  
requires audio/video cables.  
Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on  
the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.  
Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source, like a  
VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your monitor with audio/  
video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.  
Contact your cable company for more information.

Ra d io In t e r f e r e n c e  
This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device in accordance with the  
specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the  
equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is receivingthe  
interference).  
Change the position of the multimedia monitor with respect to the radio or television equipment that is receiving  
interference.  
Move the multimedia monitor away from equipment receiving interference.  
Plug the multimedia monitor into a different wall outlet so the receiver and equipment receiving interference are on  
different branch circuits.  
If these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for  
additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, How To Identify  
and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,  
Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
