Choose Your Connections

Make your connection decision easier by taking a few minutes to review the jacks
on your new HD monitor. Compare the jacks on the device you want to connect
and see if the same jacks are available on your HD monitor. Then refer to the chart
below to determine the best connection to make.

For more information about connecting your HD monitor to other devices, refer to
Chapter 1 of the User’s Guide. Make sure you read the safety information provided
at the beginning of the User’s Guide before you connect and operate your TV.

Important: A separate cable box or satellite
receiver (must have one of the jacks shown
above) is required to watch TV on this monitor.

You must have a high defi nition cable box or satellite
receiver, as well as HD service, in order to view HD
programming.

For a digital connection, the best way to connect the
satellite/cable box is by using the DVI-HDTV jack.
If your satellite/cable box doesn’t have a DVI jack,
the next best connection is Y Pb Pr. For an analog
connection, connect the satellite/cable box by using
the Video (V) jack.

Connect the cables as shown to the left. Make sure
you connect a cable signal to the satellite/cable box.
Refer to the instructions packed with the satellite/cable
box for information.

Continue to Step 2, Set Up Your TV, on the back page.

Set Up Your TV

Make sure you have already connected your TV to devices and a signal source,
plugged in the TV, and put batteries in the remote.

Now, turn on the TV (the assisted setup automatically appears on-screen).

• Set the Menu Language. Press OK to select English and continue to the next step or
press the down arrow button to choose another language, then press OK to continue.

• Run Auto convergence . Press OK to run auto convergence in order for the TV to
display an optimum picture. When auto convergence is in progress, red, green and
blue squares move at various points on the screen. Once it’s complete, the Red center
convergence menu appears.

• Adjust Red center convergence. Make sure you are eye level and centered in

front of the screen. If you see a red and green cross, similar to fi g.1, use the arrow
buttons on the remote until the crosses disappear, as shown in fi g.2, to make a
yellow cross. Follow the instructions on screen. Press OK when complete. The
Blue center convergence menu appears.

• Adjust Blue center convergence. Look closely at the cyan cross. If you see

a blue and green cross, use the arrow buttons on the remote until the crosses
disappear to make a cyan cross. Follow the instructions on screen. Press OK when
complete. Now you’re ready to watch TV.

• Watch TV. Your channels are available through your satellite/cable box, which you
access by using the INPUT button. Make sure your satellite/cable box is turned on. If
your satellite/cable box is connected to the DVI jack, for example, repeatedly press the
INPUT button until DVI is displayed at the bottom left corner of the screen.
