Connections & Setup
Connecting Components to your Monitor
Your monitor has several input and output jacks that you can use with
many different types of components. This creates a great number of
connection variations. Therefore, the following section shows the different
types of jacks and examples of the types of components that can be
connected to those jacks. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to read any
connection information in other components’ user manuals as well.
Before You Connect
Protect against power surges:
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the
wall outlet.
• Turn off the monitor and/or component before connecting or
disconnecting any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to
the “Important Safeguards” sheet packed with your monitor.
Antenna/Cable In
The ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack lets you connect a screw-on or push-on
antenna or cable lead. Use this if you want the monitor to receive signals
through a coaxial cable from an antenna or other source, such as a VCR.

Connections & Setup
Audio/Video/S-Video Inputs (Input1, Input2, Input3)
The audio jacks provide stereo sound. If your device has only one audio
output, you need to connect a “Y” adapter to your component and to both
the left and right inputs on the monitor.
The video jack provides better picture quality than coaxial cable, because it
carries only video signals.
If your device has S-Video output, use an S-Video cable to connect the video
jacks. This method separates the video signals into two separate signals: one
for color, the other for brightness. This helps prevent the signal from
degrading and results in a sharper image.

Audio/Component Video Inputs
These jacks let you connect a compatible component video source, such
as a DVD player or digital TV converter box. Unlike a single video input,
component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals.
The component video connection provides optimum quality. The audio
jacks provide stereo sound. It is essential to match the color coded
connectors between a compatible device and the monitor.

Audio Output
FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor. This audio
output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver when you want to
control the volume through the A/V receiver.
VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are
controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote
control.
EXT SPEAKERS lets you connect external left and right speakers to the
monitor. The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the monitor’s
internal speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external speakers. INT
sends audio only to the monitor’s internal speakers.

Connections & Setup
A/V Receiver & Speakers
1. Use RCA cables to connect either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT from the monitor to an A/V receiver.
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor. This
audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has
its own volume control.
• VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels
are controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and
monitor remote control.
2. Use speaker wire to connect the monitor to external speakers.
• The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the monitor’s
internal speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external and
internal speakers. INT sends audio only to the monitor’s
internal speakers.

The (S)VGA (Super Video Graphics Adapter) inputs let you connect your
monitor to a personal computer and internet devices. These inputs can
provide up to 800 pixel x 600 pixel resolution. How images are displayed,
however, depends on other factors such as the type of device connected
to the monitor, the media being transmitted, graphics cards and
memory allotments.

Computer/Text is the default setting for the (S)VGA 1 input. This
input and setting is recommended for most PC connections when
viewing text and graphics. Text may appear crisper in Text mode.
Video is the default setting for the (S)VGA 2 input. This input and
setting is recommended for high definition television (HDTV)
converter connections. Also, computer games may appear better in
Video mode. The appearance of text in Video mode may be
improved by decreasing the picture’s sharpness and contrast (see the

(S)VGA 2 Input
The (S)VGA 2 input can be used to connect an HD receiver so you can receive high
definition signals.
1. Connect the supplied (S)VGA cable to your HD receiver and to the monitor. Due to copyright
restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition programs in high definition
format using this product. To view material in standard definition instead, you must connect
the Audio/Video jacks to the monitor.
2. Connect an RCA-type cable from the HD receiver’s audio Right, Left, and video jacks to the
audio in’s Right, Left, and video jacks on the monitor.
3. Connect an Audio cable from the HD receiver’s audio right and left jacks to the monitor’s
VGA left and right audio inputs.
4. Connect an optional S-Video cable from the HD receiver’s S-Video jack to the monitor’s
S-Video jack.

3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the
video inputs until you get to the VGA 2 input.
If your RCA or PROSCAN HD receiver switches from a high definition
output to a standard definition output, the monitor will automatically
switch from the high definition (S)VGA2 input channel to the standard
definition INPUT2 (VID2) channel in order for you to view the signal.
There are two situations in which this would occur:
• When recording from the HD receiver
• When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.

Direct Channel Tuning
You can set up the monitor to
automatically tune to the (S)VGA 2 input
when you press the DIRECTV button on
the remote. This is called auto tuning.
(See “Setup” for more information.)
