If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
1. Unpack the monitor.
Carefully lift the monitor, turn it over and place it upright
on its stand on a flat even surface.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor.

around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor
surround and controls.
Always move or angle the monitor by holding both left
and right sides (Figure I), or the top of the screen and the
monitor stand (Figure II).
Holding the bottom of the screen (Figure III) is prohibited
as the bottom of the screen may be damaged.

10 How to assemble your monitor hardware
To Connect the Component Cable
Connect the plugs of the Component cable to the
Component video inputs on the monitor. The plugs are in
green, blue, and red respectively. Ensure that the colors of
the plugs and the terminals match when making the
connection.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Component
ports of the video output device.
Connect the corresponding audio output of your output
device to the AUDIO input terminals (L2/R2) on the
monitor using a suitable audio cable (or use the
Composite cable). The plugs used for audio transmission
are in white and red. Make sure that the colors of the
Audio plugs and the terminals match when making the
connection.
Connect the other end of the Audio cable to the Audio
ports of the video output device.
To Connect the Composite Cable
Connect the yellow plug of the Composite cable to the
Composite video input on the monitor.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Composite port
of the video output device.
Connect the corresponding audio output of your output
device to the AUDIO input terminals (L1/R1) on the
monitor using the white and red plugs of the Composite
cable. Make sure that the colors of the Audio plugs and the
terminals match when making the connection.
Connect the other end of the Audio cable to the Audio
ports of the video output device.
To Connect the S-Video Cable
Connect the plug of the S-Video cable to the S-Video
video input on the monitor.
Connect the other end of the cable to the S-Video port of
the video output device.
Connect the corresponding audio output of your output
device to the AUDIO input terminals (L1/R1) on the
monitor using a suitable audio cable (or use the
Composite cable). The plugs used for audio transmission
are in white and red. Make sure that the colors of the
Audio plugs and the terminals match when making the
connection.
Connect the other end of the Audio cable to the Audio
ports of the video output device.
The video cable included in your package and the socket

To Input Audio Signals
Connect the provided audio cable between the socket on
the rear of the monitor (Line In) and your computer
audio outlet.
If the video source is Component, Composite, or S-Video,
see:
• To Connect the Component Cable on page 11
• To Connect the Composite Cable on page 11
• To Connect the S-Video Cable on page 11.
To Output Audio Signals
You are provided with the following options to output
audio from the monitor:
• You may connect headphones to the headphone jack
found on the left side of the monitor. See picture on the
right.
• You can use a suitable audio cable (usually purchased
separately or came with the audio device your monitor is
connecting to) to connect the S/PDIF socket on the
monitor to external speakers or headphones that are
S/PDIF compatible.
• If you prefer using external speakers, please also use
another audio cable (usually supplied with the speakers)
to connect the monitor (Line Out) to the input/Line In
jack of the speaker.
• Or you can output audio using the built-in speakers on
the monitor.
The output priority of the audio signals detected on your
monitor is headphone jack, S/PDIF socket, Line Out
socket, and the built-in speakers. In other words, the
audio cables connected to the audio output sockets on
the monitor determine the order of the audio output.
