CONNECTING THE MONITOR TO A COMPUTER

The monitor connection cable connects your monitor

to

a Com-

modore personal computer. Before you connect the cable, turn off

the power to both your personal computer and the monitor.
There are two different cables that you can use

to

connect the

monitor to your computer.

1.

One kind of cable has three jacks that connect

to

the BACK of

the monitor.

2.

The other cable has two jacks that connect to the FRONT of the
monitor.

The kind of cable you'll use depends on your computer.

To

find

out which kind

of

cable you should use, look at the audio/video

connector on your computer

(see

your computer's user manual

if

you don't know where this connector

is).

1.

If the audio/video connector has EIGHT little holes, use the
three-jack cable.

2.

If the connector has FIVE little holes, use the two-jack cable.
