Making Connections

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.

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.

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.

Connecting the G-LINK Cable

The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System (the on-screen guide that lists what shows are on TV) to work with your VCR and/or cable box. If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack, you must remove it before you connect the G-LINK cable. If there is no demo pin, just insert the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack.

Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box and you don’t connect the G-LINK cable, no channels will be listed in the on-screen program guide. VCR – If your monitor is connected to a VCR and you don’t connect the G-LINK cable, one-touch recording won’t work. The other features of the guide will work properly.

How to Find the Remote Control Sensor

You have to place the wands on the G-LINK cable in front of the remote control sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs have the remote control sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor isn’t labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote control that came with the VCR and/or cable box to locate the sensor.

1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.

2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but the one that came with the cable box and/or VCR) so it is touching the front of the component.

The G-LINK cable is used to send commands to your VCR and/or cable box.

If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack, you must remove it before you connect the G-LINK cable. If there is no demo pin, just insert the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack.

3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component (VCR or cable box) while you press the power button on and off. You must press and release the power button each time you move the remote (holding down the button won’t work).

4. When the component turns on, you’ve located the sensor.

5. Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or cable box (see instructions below).

Placing the Wands Under the VCR

and/or Cable Box

Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or cable box. Place them about one inch away from the remote control sensor.

If you don’t have a VCR, just coil the cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist tie and leave it behind the TV.

If you don’t have a cable box, just coil the cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist

tie and leave it behind the TV. Connect to G-LINK jack on the back of the TV.

Front Inputs

The monitor has front inputs for convenience; one set of audio/video (A/V) inputs, a headphone jack and two client USB ports. Look for a hinged door and gently lift the cover open. Please note that the illustration below shows a typical front input layout. The exact look of the jacks or monitor pictured here may be different than yours.

Check out the notes that have been added throughout the manual in these tip boxes. There are some important tips that will help you get the most from your monitor.

Page 20

Setting up

Step 1: Plug In The Monitor

Plug the end of the power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

Step 2: Place batteries in remote

• Remove the battery compartment cover from the back of the remote by pushing down on and sliding off the cover.

• Insert fresh batteries. Make sure that the polarities (+ and -) are aligned correctly.

• Replace the cover.

Step 3: Turn on the Monitor

Press TV on the remote, or press POWER on the monitor’s front panel.

Pressing the TV button not only turns on the monitor, but puts the remote into TV mode, so that the buttons on the remote will control monitor functions.

The Point and Select Navigation Method

You can “get around” in the menu system by using just a few buttons on the remote control. We call this the “Point and Select” method of navigation, and it has two steps.

1. Point to a menu item using the arrows on the remote.

To point up or down, press the up or down arrows. To point left or right, press the left or right arrows.

2. Select a menu item by pressing MENU or OK.

Selecting an item tells the monitor’s menu system to go ahead and make the change or go to a place you have indicated.

Step 4: Set Up the GUIDE PIUS+ Gold System

The first time you turn on the monitor, you will see the GUIDE Plus+ Gold screen. You need to set up the GUIDE Plus+ Gold system so it can display your local program listing and control your cable box and VCR.

button

To complete the GUIDE Plus+ Gold setup, the GUIDE Plus+ Gold G-LINK cable wand must be properly aligned with the remote sensor on your cable box and VCR if you have them. Refer to the Making Connections section for additional information.

Page 21

Setting up

Select your Country and enter your ZIP or Postal code.

The next series of screens asks you about your cable TV setup. If you have a cable box, you need to set the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System to control it. Otherwise, it may not be able to locate and download program information.

Tune your cable box to Channel 2 and then select the brand of your cable box from the choices available. The system then searches for the correct code to control your cable box. When your cable box switches to channel 9 it has located the correct code.

Select Yes if the cable box changed to channel 9, or No if it did not. If you select No, the system will try another code.

If the GUIDE Plus+ system cannot recognize either your cable box or VCR after several tries, a screen stating “Cable Box (VCR) test failed...Please consult your manual and try again” appears. You have a choice to either Try Again or Skip Cable Box Setup. If you get this message, you should also:

• Double check the brand of your cable box or VCR, and try entering it again.

• Check to make sure the G-LINK cable wand is positioned correctly.

If you choose to skip the cable box (or VCR) setup some features of the guide may not be available until you successfully complete this procedure.

Page 22

Setting up

Once the correct model of cable box has been identified, you need to set the cable box’s output channel. Enter the channel you use to view channels through your cable box—usually 3 or 4. Consult your cable box’s instruction book or your cable company if you are not sure. Choose 0/AUX to use VIDEO INPUT.

Select Yes if you have a VCR, or No if not. (Answering No automatically skips forward to the end of GUIDE Plus+ setup.) Tune your VCR to channel 2 and turn it off. Find the brand of your VCR by using the up and down arrows.

When the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System correctly identifies the correct code for your VCR, the VCR’s tuner changes to channel 9. Select Yes if the VCR automatically changed to channel 9, or No if it did not. If you select No, the system will try another code.

The last screen comes up when you’ve successfully finished the GUIDE Plus+ setup.

Remember:

• Leave your cable box turned ON to download program information.

• Leave your VCR turned OFF to record programs and download

information.

Press OK to leave the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System setup.

Step 5: Run Auto Channel Search

This is an important step because running Auto Channel Search searches for all the channels available through the antenna or cable input. When the monitor finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list; inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) will be removed from the channel list. To run Auto Channel Search:

1. Press MENU on the remote and select Channel.

2. Select Signal Type and then choose whether you have cable or are using an off-air antenna.

3. Return to the Channel menu.

CHANNEL

3 List and Labels... 4 Autotuning... 0 Go Back

4. Select Auto Channel Search.

5. When the channel search is complete, exit the menu system.

Picture Quality Menu

Picture Controls Displays the five slider controls for adjusting the way the picture looks. You can adjust and save different settings for each input.

Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the picture.

Color Adjusts the richness of the color.

Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.

Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.

Sharpness (Not available in Text mode) Adjusts the crispness of

edges in the picture.

Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of three preset picture settings: Bright Lighting, Normal Lighting, Soft Lighting or Personal Picture Preset. Based on the degree of lighting in your room, you should choose Bright, Normal, or Soft Lighting. After you select one, the contrast, color tint, black level, and sharpness settings found under the Picture Settings menu are automatically adjusted according to your selection.

Auto Color Displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that automatically corrects the color of the picture. (This is especially useful for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to channel.) Choose On or Off, depending on your preference. Auto Color is not available for VGA or component video.

If you choose Personal Picture Preset, you can customize color, tint, black level, and sharpness to your desired level, and the television “saves” those settings. After you’ve done this, it allows you to go back into the menu and select Bright, Normal, or Soft Lighting when you need to without losing your customized settings. For example, if you normally use Personal Picture Preset but wanted to watch a show in Bright Lighting, choose Bright Lighting, watch the show, and then afterwards return to your customized settings by choosing Personal Picture Preset again.

Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you adjust three automatic color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 6500 K and Normal to 9300 K.

Video Noise Reduction Displays a choice list that lets you adjust the feature that automatically reduces noise from the picture. Video Noise Reduction is not available in Text mode when in VGA mode.

Picture Mode The picture mode control panel appears when the monitor is tuned to a VGA input.

Computer/Text is the recommended input and setting for most PC connections when viewing text and graphics. Text may appear crisper in Text mode.

Video is the default setting for the VGA2 input. This input and setting is recommended in such instances as HD receiver connections. The appearance of text in Video mode may be improved by lowering the picture’s sharpness and contrast (see above).

On Always Captioning information shown always, when

available.

On when sound is muted Displays captioning information, when available, whenever the monitor’s sound is muted by pressing the MUTE button. The captioning information is not displayed when the sound is not muted.

Many programs are encoded with closed captioning information, which lets you display the audio portion of a program as text on the monitor screen. Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded with closed captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the letters CC are displayed in the channel marker.

Closed-Caption Mode Displays a choice list that lets you choose which captioning mode is used for displaying captioning information. If you are unsure of the differences among the modes, you may prefer to leave the closed captioned mode set to CC1, which displays complete text of the program in the primary language in your area.

SCREEN

Adjust Projection TV Lets you adjust the TV’s three colors. Automatic Convergence will cause the monitor to self-correct color images. This

process results in a temporarily blank screen, may take several minutes, and should be completed for each mode: NTSC, VGA, HDTV, and SVGA. Note that Automatic Convergence covers only the mode selected at the time. To Auto Converge for another mode, enter the mode and select

Automatic Convergence again. Selecting Red Convergence or Blue Convergence lets you align the red and blue images with the green

image. For best results, run Automatic Convergence after the TV has been on for at least 30 minutes.

*Picture Position This menu item appears when the monitor is tuned to a VGA input. This control adjusts the horizontal and vertical position of the main picture window. Use the arrows on the remote control to move the window. Press OK to set the positioning.

*This option is not available when an HD receiver or computer of similar frequency is connected to one of the (S)VGA inputs.

Your Projection TV has three color projection tubes—one for red, one for green, and one for blue. When the tubes’ images are precisely aligned, they create the color images you see on the TV screen. Over time, the picture can drift out of alignment due to normal component aging, bumps, and vibrations or moving the TV. If you notice rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to try adjusting Projection TV settings.

Parental Controls and V-Chip

The Parental Controls menu allows you to program your monitor so that children cannot see certain programs, channels, or use the front panel controls.

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software inside your monitor (called V-Chip) which allows you to “block” TV programs and movies based on violence, sex, or other content you may believe children should not view. In other words, it lets you program your monitor so it will not display certain programs. Once you block programs, you or other adults are not limited to only parent-approved programs; you can “unblock” programs by entering a password.

The V-Chip software inside your TV comes turned “off,” so if you choose not to implement it, you can just ignore it.

When turned “on,” the V-Chip software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip software the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes (Violence (V), Adult Language (L), etc.). If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the program contains, you will receive the message, “This channel is not approved for viewing,” when you turn to that particular channel. Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs that have been given a rating of “Not Rated,” and programs that are considered “unrated” because no code has been sent by the broadcaster.

The TV age-based ratings and content themes you can block are listed in the table below.

V-Chip TV Rating Limit

The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide what TV programs can and cannot be viewed. To set TV programming limits:

2. Press MENU to continue.

3. Highlight and select V-Chip TV Rating Limit.

4. Once you get to the V-Chip TV Rating Limit screen, use the arrows and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating or content theme from View to Block.

Blocking Age-Based Ratings

You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings.

To block programs with higher ratings:

1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch.

2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3. Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears.

In the example discussed above, you would scroll through the rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G.

4. Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field.

5. Press the up or down arrow to toggle between View and Block. The status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings automatically changes to Block (and B).

After you block age-based ratings, you have the option of changing some of the ratings back to View.

1. Determine which blocked rating you want to view.

2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field.

3. Use the up and down arrows to select the rating whose status is Block.

4. Press the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field.

5. Press the up or down arrows to toggle between View and Block.

Note that the content status fields corresponding to the unblocked rating become View as well. They and the age-based rating status are the only fields that automatically change back to View when you complete this process.

Blocking Specific Content Themes

You can block programs based on their content. (Content is represented by the D, L, S, V, and FV on your screen. See the beginning of this section for details.) When you block a content theme for a particular rating, you automatically block that content theme for higher rated programs as well.

For example, if you do not want your child to watch programs that have adult language (L) rated TV-PG or higher, then you could block out all programming TV-PG and above containing adult language.

PIP Problems?

• Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.

• No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV button. If your cable or off-air antenna goes into your VCR or satellite receiver, then into your monitor, try pressing the antenna or TV button on the front of the component.

Tip: If programmed to control your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.

• Check the connections. PIP requires a second video source, like a VCR or satellite receiver, connected to your monitor with audio/ video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment. Contact your cable company for more information.

• PIP is unavailable on the VGA inputs.

A channel map is the list of stations and their respective channels.

To ensure that your first download of data is complete, you should leave your monitor off overnight. Downloads occur several times a day.

The monitor must be turned off for GUIDE Plus+ Gold data to download.

If the monitor loses power or is unplugged, GUIDE Plus+ Gold program information may be lost. When power is restored, make sure the setup information is still correct. The GUIDE Plus+ Gold program will complete a download at the next available time.

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can correct without a service technician. Here are a few basic remedies:

Program information does not download

• Review your setup information and make sure it is correct.

• The monitor must be off to download information. Leave your monitor off overnight, for at least 10 hours, to receive a download for your area.

• If you are using a cable box, make sure the cable box is on in order to receive program information.

• If you are using a VCR, make sure the VCR is off in order to receive program information.

Scheduled Watch or Record does not occur

• Check Schedule for timer conflicts.

• Check that G-LINK cable wand is

positioned correctly.

• Make sure there is a tape in the VCR and that the G-LINK wand is properly positioned and the VCR is off.

Troubleshooting

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can correct without the help of a service technician. If you experience any difficulty with your monitor, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.

Monitor will not turn on

• Check to make sure it is plugged in.

• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

• Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.”

• Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

• The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by

selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Unlock.

Controls don’t work

• If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV button.

• The front panel MENU button may be disabled. Use the remote control to turn off channel blocking. Select Channel

Block in the Parental Controls menu and choose Off.

• Try unplugging monitor for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.

Problems with remote

• Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.

• Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (monitor, DVD player, VCR, etc.) you are trying to control.

• Maybe the remote is not in TV mode. Press the TV button so the remote will control the monitor.

• Maybe the batteries in the remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing the batteries. (Note, if you

remove the batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.)

• Remove the batteries and hold the number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.

Blank screen

• Maybe the component connected to the input jacks is not turned on.

• Try another channel.

• If you have connected a digital set top converter, you must connect to

view both digital and analog signals.

• Due to copyright restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition programs in high definition format using this product. To view this type of programming in standard definition format, you must also connect the Audio/ Video jacks from the HD receiver to the monitor.

• Monitor may be in powersave, or standby, mode. Press the TV or ON•OFF on your remote, or the POWER button on the front panel.

both the (S)VGA2 and INPUT2 inputs in order to

Picture on screen is not centered while in VGA mode

• Adjust picture by going to Picture Position in the Screen Menu. Use remote arrows to adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the main picture window.

• Display properties may not be set correctly. Consult your computer operating system’s owner’s manual on how to adjust the display properties.

Page 56

Horizontal or diagonal lines on screen

• In some cases, the computer and monitor may not be synchronized properly. To set the correct resolution for your monitor you should consult your operating system’s owner’s manual on how to “boot” your system up into the “safe mode” and set monitor display for the desired mode (such as SVGA 800x600 Progressive).

Black box appears on the screen

• Captioning may be turned on and in text mode. Check the Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu.

No sound, picture okay

• Maybe the sound is muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound.

• Maybe the speakers are turned off. Check the Audio Output and Speakers control panel in the Audio menu.

• If using an S-VHS component, remember to also connect the component’s L and R AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV’s L and R

INPUT jacks.

• Check the INT/EXT switch on the back of the monitor.

Can’t select certain channel

• Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.

• If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR switch on the VCR is in the correct position.

Turns off while playing

• Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.

• Maybe sleep timer is set.

• Unplug. Wait five minutes. Plug in again.

Noisy stereo reception

• May be a weak station. Use Audio menu to choose mono sound.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

• Maybe the cable/air function is set to the wrong position.

• Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.

• If watching a VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure your TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4—the same as

the CH3/4 switch on your VCR. Also check to make sure the TV/VCR switch on your VCR is in the correct position.

GUIDE Plus+ G-LINK cable not working

• Check to make sure the cable wand is positioned correctly in front of the IR sensors on the VCR and/or cable box.

• GUIDE Plus+ system control of cable box is slower than direct control of the box itself. Keep this in mind when changing

channels.

Guide comes on when I turn on TV

• The GUIDE Plus+ system automatically comes up when you use the TV button on the remote to turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature by selecting Setup from the GUIDE Plus+ Menu, selecting Options, then setting Auto Display to Off.

Sound okay, picture poor

• Check antenna connections.

• Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals.

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION: Turn OFF your monitor before cleaning.

You can clean the monitor as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

The monitor’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the monitor.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the monitor. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the monitor. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the monitor.

Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long periods, they may be permanently imprinted on the screen. Such images include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. This damage is not covered by your warranty. Extended viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.

Radio Interference

This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).

• Change the position of the multimedia monitor with respect to the radio or television equipment that is receiving interference.

• Move the multimedia monitor away from equipment receiving interference.

• Plug the multimedia monitor into a different wall outlet so the receiver and equipment receiving interference are on

different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
