Using the Remote Control

Installing Batteries

• Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control and insert the batteries with correct polarity, match “+” with “+”, and match “-” with “-”.

• Install two 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries. Don’t mix used batteries with new batteries.

Notes for Using the Remote Control

Make sure these are no objects between the remote control and its sensor.

Don’t place the remote control near a heater or damp place. Strong impact on the remote control may cause operation failure.

Signal from the remote control may be disturbed by sun light or other strong light. In this case, turn the set to other direction, or dim the room light.

VCR Setup

Tip

• To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance (20 inches or more) between the VCR and monitor.

S-VIDEO

OUT

(R) AUDIO (L) VIDEO

Back Panel of VCR

- As shown below, when connecting the Monitor to a VCR, match the colors of AV input jacks on the Monitor with the output jacks on the VCR: Video = yellow, Audio (Left) = white, Audio (Right) = red.

- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/MONO) input on the LCD Monitor.

- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved, compared to connecting a regular VCR to the Video input.

- Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. A frozen still picture from a VCR (or if a CH label is displayed) displayed on the screen for prolonged periods will result in an image ghost remaining even when you change the image. Avoid prolonged display of a still image.
