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.
An t e n n a / Ca b l e 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.

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.

Component Video Tip
Au d io / Co m p o n e n t Vid e o In p u t s
To ensure maximum picture quality, use
three video-grade cables for the Y, PB, and
PR connections.
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 e sse n t ia l t o m a t ch

Audio Output Tips
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.
• 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.
VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are
controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote
control.
• 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.)
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.

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:
Direct Channel Tuning
•
•
When recording from the HDTV digital receiver;
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.)
When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.

This section defines the buttons of the remote and
how to program it to control other components.
The universal remote can be programmed to control
most brands of remote controllable VCRs, satellite
receivers, and cable boxes. If you have an RCA, GE,
or Pr o Sc a n component, you probably don’t need
to program it at all.
Modes of Operation
Because this universal remote can control
several different components (DVD
player, VCR, Cable Box, etc.) it uses
operational modes triggered by the
component buttons. For example if you
want the remote to control the TV, you
would press the TV button to put the
remote into TV mode before you could
control the TV.

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve a chip 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 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 reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the V-Chip
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.

Your monitor is equipped with a single tuner that tunes to cable or off-
air television signals. The PIP feature on your monitor requires a second
video source, like a VCR or satellite receiver to supply the second picture
to the screen. The PIP feature also requires connecting the second video
source to the monitor with audio/video cables.

CH CTRL (Channel Control) Lets you switch channel control between
the PIP window and the main picture.
Usin g t h e PIP Fe a t u r e
PIP buttons
While you may use PIP in different ways, this basic PIP scenario should
get you started. While watching the TV, follow these steps to use your
VCR to supply the picture for PIP.
1. Press the PIP button on the remote. The PIP window appears on the
screen.
2. Turn on the VCR.
3. Press the TV button, then press WHO•INPUT until you see the VCR
signal displayed in the PIP window. The PIP window should display
the channel that you have the VCR tuned to.
4. At this point, in order to change the program in the PIP window,
you need to change the channel on the VCR because that is the
signal source for the PIP picture.
5. Use the channel up and down buttons and the other PIP buttons,
MOVE, SWAP and CH CTRL to adjust the two pictures.
A typical use of SWAP is to scan through
channels in the PIP window, and when
you find a channel you like, press SWAP
to display that channel in the main
picture, sending the current channel to
the PIP window.
You must change the mode between the
TV and VCR after every SWAP.

To see a different picture in the PIP
window, you must connect another
video source, like a VCR. This connection
requires audio/video cables.
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.

Tr o u b l e sh o o t in g
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 Lockout 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) you are trying to control.
Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control monitor.
Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note, if you remove the
batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.)
•
Remove batteries and hold number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote. Release
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 both the (S)VGA2 and INPUT2 inputs in order to
view both digital and analog signals.
Picture on screen is not centered
•
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.
Horizontal or diagonal lines on screen
•
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” to
automatically set the correct resolution required.
Black Box appears on the screen
•
Captioning may be turned on. Check the Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu.

No sound, picture okay
•
•
•
Maybe sound is muted. Try pressing volume up button to restore sound.
Maybe 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.
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
•
Schedule off function may have been activated (parental control).
•
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.
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 VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 – same as CH3/4
switch on VCR. Also check to make sure TV/VCR switch on VCR is in correct position.
Sound okay, picture poor
•
Check antenna connections.
•
Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals.

Ra d io In t e r f e r e n c e
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.
