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 DVD player. 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 DVD player
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.
Audio Output Tips
• You may want to adjust the monitor’s
tone control and audio processor
settings to enhance the audio output
when connecting an A/V receiver to the
Variable output jacks.
• You can turn off the monitor’s internal
speakers by using the “Speaker” control
in the Audio menu. (See the “Audio
Menu” section for more information.)

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 2 input can be used to connect a HDTV digital receiver so that you can receive HDTV
signals.

2. Connect an RCA-type cable to the left and right audio outputs on the digital set top
converter and to the corresponding left and right AUDIO INPUTS associated with the (S)VGA

3. Connect an RCA-type cable to the video output on the HDTV digital receiver and to the video
INPUT2 on the monitor.

Viewing the (S)VGA 2 Input
1. Turn on the monitor and the HDTV digital receiver
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
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 HDTV digital 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) input channel in order for you to
view the signal. There are two situations in which this would occur:
• When recording from the HDTV digital receiver;
• When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.
