the Display

The display requires a stable, level, and clean surface near a power outlet, 10 cm (4") away from
walls or other large objects. The rear ventilation grid should be unobstructed, and the display
should not be exposed to water or heat. Before setting up the display, prepare such a space.

To set up the display:

1. Remove the power cord and DC power adapter from the
accessories box.

Insert the appropriate end of the cord into the power
connector on the DC power adapter, then insert the
other end into a free power outlet.

The blue light on the DC power adapter should come on.

If it doesn't, check that the cord is securely connected
and that the power outlet works properly.

Insert the DC power adapter's cord into the power connector
on the bottom of the display.

Note: Make sure you plug the power connector into the

display with the arrow on top. Failure to do so will
cause a short circuit.

Connecting to a TV Signal Source

A TV signal may come from a cable box, satellite receiver,

antenna, or similar device.

To connect a TV signal source to the display:

1. Connect a coax cable between the antenna jack on the
bottom of the display and the signal source (that is, the
cable box, satellite receiver, or antenna).

Note: If you would like to be able to record the TV signal with a VCR or similar device, connect

the signal source to the input of the recording device with one cable, then connect the

output of the recording device to the antenna jack on the display with another cable.

Setting Up the Display

Accessing the Connector Panel

All audio and video connections other than those for a television signal or a PCare
the connector panel. To accessthe jacks on the panel, remove the cover as shown below--rel;
the two tabs to the right, then pull the cover out.

Connecting to Composite Video Output Devices

Many video devices, such as VCRs, DVD players,

video game systems, and camcorders, have

composite video outputs. Composite video uses

one RCA cable to transmit video information and

generally provides lower quality than S-Video

and component video (see below).

Note: The composite video and S-Video inputs

share an audio input.

To connect a composite video source to the

display:

1. Remove the connector panel cover from the
rear of the display.

2. Using the included RCA cables (shown on
page 2), connect the composite video output
(yellow) on the source device to the
VIDEO-IN jack on the connector panel.

3. Connect the right (red) and left (white)
audio outputs on the source to the
corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to the
VIDEO-IN jack.

ace the connector panel cover.

OMPLTV32.book Page 5 ICriday, June 10, 2005 8:48 AM

Output Devices

that have composite video

have S-Video outputs. S-Video uses

four-wire cable to transmit video

information. Two of the wires are used to

transmit video. Because it splits the video signal
into two components, S-Video generally provides
higher quality than composite video, but lower

quality than component video (see below).

Note: The composite video and S-Video inputs

share an audio input.

Note: The pins used in S-Video connectors are

somewhat fragile. Take care to avoid

bending the pins, as a bent or broken pin

can cause loss of color information or

total signal loss.

To connect an S-Video source to the display: ....

1. Remove the connector panel cover.

2. Using an S-Video cable, connect the S-Video

output on the source device to the S-Video

jack on the connector panel.

3. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red)

and left (white) audio outputs on the source
to the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to
the VIDEO-IN jack.

4. Replace the connector panel cover.

Connecting to Component Video (Progressive Scan)

High-quality video devices, such as HDTV receivers and
high-end DVD players, have component video outputs.
Component video uses three RCA connections to

transmit video information. Because the information is

split into three signals, component video offers higher
quality than either composite video or S-Video.

Progressive scan component video uses three signals
labeled Y, Pb, and Pr. Use this procedure only for
progressive scan video (video formats 480p, 525p, 720p,
and so on). See the next section for information on
connecting interlaced component video signals to the
display.

Note: The two component video inputs (RCA and D4)

share an audio input.

To connect a progressive scan component video

source to the display:

1. Remove the connector panel cover.

2. Using the included D4-to-RCA cable (shown on page

2), connect the three component video outputs (Y,
Pb, and Pr) on the output device to the D4 jack on
the connector panel. On the output device, connect
the green RCA connector to Y,the blue connector to
Pb, and the red connector to Pr.Then connect the D4
connector to the D4 jack on the connector panel.

3. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to
the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to the component inputs on the connector panel.

4. Replace the connector panel cover.

OMPLTV32.book Page 7 ICriday, June 10, 2005 8:48 AM

Video (Interlaced) Output Devices

component video uses three signals

Cb, and Cr. Use this procedure only for

video (video formats 480i, 525i, 720i,

and so on). See the previous section for

information on connecting progressive scan
signals to the display.

Note: The two component video inputs (RCA

and D4) share an audio input.

To connect an interlaced component video
source to the display:

1. Remove the connector panel cover.

2. Using three RCA cables, connect the three

component video outputs (Y, Cb, and Cr) to

the corresponding jacks on the connector

panel.

3. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red)

and left (white) audio outputs on the source
to the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to
the component inputs on the connector

panel.

4. Replace the connector panel coven

Connecting to a PC

Your display can be used as a computer monitor for any computer with a VGA or DVl video
output. In addition, the computer's audio output can be connected to the display and played
through the display's speakers.

To

1.

connect a PC to the display:

Set the video resolution on the computer to 1280 x 1024 or less before connecting to the

display.

In Windows, right-click on the desktop and select

Properties to bring up the Display Properties window.

Select the Settings tab. Adjust the Screen resolution

as needed, select Apply, then select OK.

Setting Up the Display

In Mac OS X, select System
Preferences under the Apple menu.
Open the Displays panel and select the
Display tab. Select the desired

resolution from the list.

,

If your computer has a DVI output,
connect a DVI cable between the DVl output
on the computer and the DVl input on the
bottom of the display.

If your computer has a VGA output only,
connect the VGA cable included in the

Accessories Box between the VGA output on
the computer and the VGA input on the
display.

,

(OPTIONAL) Using the audio cable included
in the Accessories Box, connect the
computer's audio output (LINE OUT) to the
audio input on the bottom of the display
(LINE IN).

Display for the First Time

When you turn on your LCD for the first time, you will need to set up the display for proper
operation by scanning the television spectrum for available channels.

Setting up Television Channels

If you are connecting directly to a wall jack or antenna (that is, if you are not using a cable box or
satellite receiver), you should scan the signal spectrum to weed out channels with insufficient
signal strength once the television signal is connected to the display. This will make it much
easier to navigate through the channels.

To scan the signal spectrum:

1. Turn the display on using the POWER button.

2. Change the signal source to "TV" by repeatedly pressing the SOURCE button until "TV"
shows in the top right corner of the screen.

3. Press the MENU button to bring up the On-
Screen Display (OSD).

4. Press the CH V button until TV SETUP is
