Product Cautions
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DANGER, ELECTRIC SHOCK, AND OTHER INJURIES WHEN HANDLING YOUR DISPLAY, PLEASE BE AWARE OF OF ALL WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.
Never spill any liquid of any kind on the display.
Never insert anything into the display, where objects can come into contact with high voltage nodes or damage internal components.
Do not attempt to service the display yourself. Opening or removing covers exposes high voltage nodes and other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not touch the display or antenna during thunderstorms. Unplug the display during thunderstorms or if it will not be used for extended periods. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
Before cleaning the display, unplug it from the wall. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
To prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation, place the display only in a well ventilated location. Avoid cramped or inadequately ventilated locations. Place the display at least 10 cm (4") from walls or other objects. Always keep the vent clean. Never place the display upside down.
Note: Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your new display.

Setting Up 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 protective plastic bag and plastic screen protector from
the display.
2. Remove the power cord from the accessories box, insert the
appropriate end into the power (AC IN) connector on the bottom of the display, and then insert the other end into a free power outlet.
3. Turn on the power switch on the bottom of the display.
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. Remove the coax-to-RCA adapter from the Accessories Box
and insert it into the antenna (ANT) jack on the bottom of the display.
2. Connect a coax cable between the adapter and TV signal
source (for example, a cable box, satellite receiver, or antenna).
Note: If you would like to be able to record
the TV signal with a VCR, DVD recorder, or similar device, connect the TV signal source to the input of the recording device with one cable, then connect the output of the recording device to the ANT jack on the display with another cable.

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).
To connect a composite video source to the display:
1. Using an RCA cable, connect the composite video output (yellow) on the source device to the corresponding jack in one of the three composite video blocks on the display (AV1IN, AV2IN, or AV3IN).
2. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to the corresponding jacks in the same composite video block used above.
Connecting to S-Video Output Devices
Many video devices that have composite video outputs also have S-Video outputs. S-Video uses a single 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 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. Using an S-Video cable, connect the S-Video output on the source device to the S-Video jack on the display.
2. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to the corresponding jacks in the S-Video block on the display.

Connecting to Component Video Output Devices
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 composite video and S-Video.
Note: There are two component video signal
types: progressive scan and interlaced. When connecting a progressive scan signal, use the Y, Pb, and Pr inputs. When connecting an interlaced signal, use the Y, Cb, and Cr inputs.
To connect a component video source to the display:
1. Using three RCA cables, connect the three
component video outputs to the corresponding jacks in one of the two component video blocks on the display:
If you are connecting a progressive scan video signal, use the Y, Pb, and Pr inputs.
If you are connecting an interlaced video signal, use the Y, Cb, and Cr inputs.
2. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to
the corresponding jacks in the same component video block used above.
Connecting to a Peripheral Audio System
Your display has audio outputs that may be used to play the display’s audio on a peripheral system, such as a stereo system or a home theater system. In addition, there is a subwoofer output that can be used to fill out the bass.
To connect the display to a peripheral audio system:
1. Using two RCA cables, connect the
right (red) and left (white) audio outputs in the output block on the display (AV OUT) to the corresponding inputs on your audio system.
2. (OPTIONAL) If you have a subwoofer,
connect a third RCA cable from the SUBWOOFER output on the display to the subwoofer’s input.

Connecting to a Video Input System
There is a composite video output on the display that may be used to transmit the currently displayed video to other video input devices, such as video recorders or other displays.
To connect the display to a video input system:
1. Using an RCA cable, connect the composite video output (yellow) in the output block on the display (AV OUT) to the corresponding jack on the video input system.
2. Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs in the AV OUT block to the corresponding inputs on the video input system.
Connecting to a PC
Your display can be used as a computer monitor for any computer with a VGA or DVI video output. In addition, the computer’s audio output can be connected to the display and played through the display’s speakers.
To connect a PC to the display:
1. Set the video resolution on the computer to 1280 × 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.

2. If your computer has a
DVI output, connect a DVI cable between the DVI output on the computer and the DVI 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.
3. (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 (PC AUDIO IN).

Using Your 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
Once the television signal is connected to the display, if you are connecting directly to a wall jack or antenna, you should scan the signal spectrum to weed out channels with insufficient signal strength. 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. Press the MENU button to bring up the On-Screen Display (OSD).
3. Press the VOL button until the Channel Settings menu shows.
4. Press the ENTER button to enter the menu.
5. Press the ENTER button again to enter the System sub­menu.
6. Press the CH and CH buttons until the appropriate system is highlighted, then press the ENTER button to select it.
7. Press MENU to return to the previous menu.
8. Press CH until the Auto Scan sub-menu is highlighted and then press ENTER to select it. The display will automatically scan all television channels for those with a signal. You can press MENU at any time to stop the process.
