Multi-Function Converter w/CATV Tuner & PIP
Converts a CRT or LCD computer monitor to a television set
Model: 40972
Thank you for purchasing the Multi-Function Converter w/CATV Tuner & PIP. We hope that you
will be pleased with the functionality and capabilities that this converter offers. We recommend
that you read this manual thoroughly and retain for future reference.
Function:
The imaging method of a CRT or LCD monitor is quite different from a television set. CRTs and
LCDs utilize non-interlace scanning to form an image on the screen while the TV uses interlaced
scanning. It becomes apparent that an LCD or CRT monitor is better for long time viewing and
the CRT or LCD has higher resolution than a TV. Traditional television sets have limited
resolution (Horizontal Lines) and CRT or LCDs generally have more than two to three times the
resolution. The Multi-Function Converter turns your CRT or LCD into a second TV with higher
picture quality and stability for DVD, VCR, Video Games and television viewing.
