INTRODUCING YOUR MONITOR
The Commodore 2002 monitor has a 13-inch diagonal screen and is capable of four different operating modes: composite (NTSC stan­dard); separated luma and chroma; digital RGBI (Red/Green/Blue
Intensity); and analog RGB. The different modes are used for the displays of different computers, as shown in the chart below. The 2002 has both 40- and 80-column display capability: composite and separated modes use 40-column screens; digital RGBI and analog RGB displays are 80 columns. With the flick of a switch, you can use the 2002 as a 40-column composite color monitor or an 80-column RGBI monitor or an analog RGB monitor. The 2002 can be used with the Commodore 64, 128, Plus/4, 16, PC and Commodore Amiga computers.

Please read this brief manual carefully before you use your monitor.
The manual shows you how to connect the monitor and use the
operating modes correctly. It also explains how to use the picture control knobs, which are like the control knobs on a color TV.
Be sure to take note of the warnings in this manual, and do NOT remove the back cover or otherwise attempt to service this monitor
for safety reasons. If you have problems with your monitor that are
not covered in this manual, see your Commodore dealer or a quali-
fied technician. Attempting to service this monitor yourself voids your warranty.
CONNECTING YOUR MONITOR TO A COMPUTER
The monitor connection cable connects your monitor to a Commo­dore personal computer. The cable or cables you'll hook up depends on the computer model you have.
There are either one or two different cables included with the 2002
monitor to connect it to your computer, depending on which cable
option you purchased. Shielded cable must be used for the connection between this moni-
tor and your computer.
The C-128 Cable Option includes two cables:
• One cable is an eight-pin DIN cable designed for connecting a separate chroma/luma display. "Eight-pin" refers to the number of metal "pins" on the inside of the large round end of the cable. This cable also has three different colored plugs on the other end. These plugs are color-coded for the correct jacks they plug into on the back of the monitor.
• The other cable is a nine-pin cable, with two rectangular ends (D­connectors) with nine pins inside that connect to the RGBI socket on the back of the computer and the monitor.
The Amiga cable option contains:
• The Amiga cable, a 23-pin cable with D-connectors on both ends.
To find out which kind of cable you should use, see the above table
and look at the audio/video connector(s) on your computer. See your
computer's user manual if you're still not sure.

CONNECTING THE 40-COLUMN SEPARATED
CHROMA/LUMA DISPLAY
To connect the monitor for SEPARATED CHROMA/LUMA oper­ation:
1. Plug the eight-pin DIN connector (the larger end of the cable) into the VIDEO connector port on your computer. Make sure the small dent on the metal end of the cable that you plug into the computer is facing up, and push in the cable end firmly.
2. Insert the three colored plugs into the LUMA, CHROMA and AUDIO jacks on the back of the monitor. The plugs and jacks are color-coded:
• the white output plug goes into the AUDIO jack (WHITE) on
the monitor.
• the yellow output plug goes into the LUMA jack (YELLOW).
• the red output plug goes into the CHROMA jack (RED).

3. Set the VIDEO MODE SWITCH on the front control panel to SEP (for separated luma and chroma) for a sharp color 40-column
picture display.
CONNECTING THE 80-COLUMN DIGITAL RGBI DISPLAY
You would connect this cable if you have a computer which uses an eighty-column screen, like the Commodore 128, which has a nine­pin RGBI port.
1. Plug the silver cable end into the port on the back of the computer marked RGBI. That port should have a jack that is designed to accept a nine pin D-connector. If there is no such port, the computer was not designed for RGBI operation.
2. Plug the other end into the RGB input in the middle of the back of the monitor.
3. Switch the VIDEO MODE SWITCH to the RGB position.
4. Depending on your computer, you can select a specific RGBI mode with the RGB MODE SWITCH on the back of the monitor. You can select DIGITAL or ANALOG input. If you set the switch to DIGITAL, you can choose POS (high sync) or NEG (low sync). Select DIGITAL POS for the Commodore 128 or the Commodore PC.
CONNECTING THE 80-COLUMN ANALOG RGB DISPLAY
TO AN AMIGA
If you have a computer which displays its output in analog RGB, like the Amiga, use the 23-pin RGB cable. You'll also need an audio cable (a thin cable with identical phono jacks on either end) and a "Y" adapter cord (which you'll need to buy).
1. Plug the larger 23-pin end of the cable into the port on the back of the Amiga marked RGB. Manually tighten the thumb screws on either side of the connector.
2. Plug the 9-pin end into the RGB input in the middle of the back of the monitor.

3. Connect one end of the audio cable to the Y adapter cord and the other to the AUDIO jack on the back of the monitor. It doesn't matter which end goes where, since they're both the same.
4. Brancher les fiches de I'adaptateur en Y dans les prises gau­che et droite du haut-parleur, a I'arriere de I'ordinateur Amiga.
5. Mettre Ie selecteur de mode video (VIDEO MODE SWITCH) a la position RGB.
6. Selectionnez la position "Analog" sur Ie commutateur "RGB mode".
CONNECTING THE COMPOSITE DISPLAY
To connect the monitor for COMPOSITE display to get a picture from television tuners or VCR's, you'll need cables designed to connect the audio and composite video outputs from these devices to a
monitor. Standard RF cables with phono plugs at both ends will work
with most VCR's and TV tuners.
If you're using RF cables, connect one from video output of the
source to the yellow LUMA input jack on the monitor, and another from the audio output of the source to the monitor's AUDIO input, as this diagram shows.
