• If the display will not be used for a long period of time, it should be unplugged from the wall outlet.

English

Connecting the Antenna

Connecting CATV

Your DV3250 LCD Display has an internal 75 ohm coaxial cable connector, so antennal hook-up is very easy.When connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable, secure it firmly to the antenna connector. Some cable TV companies provide "pay per view" programming. Since the signal for these paid channels is encoded, most cable TV companies provide their own tuners/ decoders. You must install a tuner/ decoder to be able to view locked encoded programming. If you require special instructions on how to install cable service, please contact your cable TV provider. The tuner/ decoder provided by your cable TV company can be used according to the following instructions.

You must have an RF switch with two inputs (A and B) (not supplied).

The "A" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the display's CH/ buttons to view unlocked channels. The "B" input on the RF switch (not supplied) allows you to use the channel selection button on your cable box to view locked encoded programming via the tuner/ decoder.

Setting up Your Display 7

English

Antenna

The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for color TVs than on black and white models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple explanations

for the connection of various types of antennas.

1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a round cable with an F-shaped connector which requires no tools. Attach the cable directly to the input (not included).

2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input (not included).

Installation of an Outdoor Antenna

For best reception it is recommended that an Outdoor antenna be used. A: Use a combination VHF/UHF outdoor antenna.

B: Use separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the antenna input on the rear of the display.

Connecting Audio and Video Signal Sources

• Before connecting any component, please familiarise yourself with the location and type of

each input.

• If incorrect connections are made, picture or color quality may be adversely affected. Please

ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.

• Before connecting external devices, turn off the power to the display for safety.

Setting up Your Display8

Connecting Composite (AV) Video Signal

Connect the Composite (AV) output of your AV equipment to the Composite (AV) signal terminal on the display using a Composite (AV) video cable (RCA connector) as illustrated.

Composite video input is the most

commonly used signal input. However, this type of input also provides a less optimal image quality. Many video sources can only output Composite video signals, for example, VCRs and camcorders. Other video sources, such as laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video.

English

Composite (AV) video cable

Connecting S-Video Signals

1. Connect the S-Video output of your AV equipment to the display's S-VIDEO terminal using an S-Video cable. Pay attention to the direction of the connector on the S-Video cable when inserting.

2. Connect the audio output of your AV equipment to the display's S-VIDEO AUDIO L/R input terminals using the AV cable or equivalent.

An S-video signal provides a higher

quality image to that of Composite video. It is recommended to use this input whenever possible. If your AV equipment provides a component video output (YP should be used in preference to either composite or S-video signals.

2. Connect the audio output of your AV equipment to the display's COMPONENT AUDIO L/R input terminals using the AV cable or equivalent.

1. Of the currently available video signal types, Component video input offers the best quality. Component video output is available on progressive scan DVD players and Digital television decoders. The image quality with this type of input is superior to that obtained with S-video. All High Definition Television signals must go through this input.

2. DV3250 supports 480p, 720p, 576p and 1080i HDTV signals provided by high definition AV equipment such as a HDTV decoder.

3. Ensure the connector colors match, failure to connect the colors of the cables to the corresponding colored terminals will result in a incorrectly color image or badly distorted image.

Programming intended for children with this designation must adhere to the provisions of the Children's section of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) Voluntary Code on Violence in TV Programming.

This classification is applied to children's programming that is generally considered acceptable for youngsters 8 years and over to view on their own. It is suggested that a parent/guardian coview programming assigned this classification with younger children under the age of 8.

This is programming intended for a broad, general audience. While not designed specifically for children, it is understood that younger viewers may be part of the audience. Therefore programming within this classification shall contain very little violence, either physical, verbal or emotional.

This programming, while intended for a general audience, may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8). Parents/guardians should be aware that there might be content elements which some could consider inappropriate for unsupervised viewing by children in the 8-13 age range.

Programming with this classification contains themes or content elements which might not be suitable for viewers under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-teens and early teens without parent/ guardian supervision, as programming with this classification could deal with mature themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion.

This classification applies to programming which could contain any or all of the following content elements which would make the program unsuitable for viewers under the age of 18.
