Microphone and  
Audio-in jacks  
In addition to built-in speakers and microphone, you can connect this  
monitor to optional earphones and a microphone. The jacks are on  
the left side of the monitor.  
A microphone jack is on the back of the monitor. Use it and the  
supplied cable to connect your monitor to your computer or an  
amplifier (if either has the right type of jack).  
To use the microphone with your computer or an amplifier, make the  
connections shown below.  
On the back of this monitor there is also an audio-in jack. Use it and  
the supplied cable to connect your monitor to your computer or an  
amplifier (if either has the right type of jack).  
Note: When the earphones are plugged in, there will be no sound  
from the built-in speakers.  
See page 2 for more detailed illustrations of the jacks’ locations.  
Refer to the owner’s manuals included with your earphones and microphone for a detailed guide to setting up these items.  
(Optional)  
USB  
Connections  
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an innovation in connecting your IBM-compatible computer to your monitor. By using the USB, you will be able to connect  
your keyboard, mouse, printer, and other peripherals to your monitor instead of having to connect them to your computer. This will give you greater  
flexibility in setting up your system. Plus, you will have true plug-and-play capability. While the software is still being developed, Philips has included  
the hardware so you will be ready to take advantage of this next generation in computer development.  
For an IBM-compatible Computer:  
1. Turn off the computer.  
2.. Connect the (optional) USB Hub and cable to the  
computer and to the monitor. (Computer must  
have a USB port.)  
3. Connect the power cable.j  
4. Turn on the monitor. Then turn on the computer.  
5. With the installation of the correct software, you  
will be able to connect specially-made  
peripherals to the monitor.  
Refer to the “Setting Up your Philips monitor” foldout for a more detailed guide to setting up your monitor.

Power saving feature / Glossary  
Automatic Power Savings &  
Preset Resolution Modes  
If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption  
when not in use. If input from a keyboard, mouse, or other device is detected, the monitor automatically “wakes up.” The table at left shows the  
power consumption and signalling of this automatic power-saving feature. To turn this feature on and off, see page 7. The table at right shows the 9  
factory preset resolution modes. The maximum number of modes is 13. This leaves room for additions.

Glossary  
Here are a few definitions that may help you.  
Brightness  
Refers to how light or dark the overall screen is.  
Color  
Temperature  
A term used to refer to the color balance, uniformity, and saturation settings on your monitor screen. Color (even white,  
gray, and black) on your screen is achieved by blending (or balancing) three primary colors: red, green, and blue. As you  
increase or decrease any one of these colors, the color temperature changes. For example, at 9300˚ K, you are using more  
blue in your color temperature; therefore, your screen will be saturated with more blue and should appear uniformly “bluer”  
from one side of the screen to the other. At 6500˚ K, you are using more red in your mixture. True color balance is achieved  
when a gray object shows no traces of either red, green, or blue, regardless of the brightness of the image.  
Contrast  
Degauss  
DDC  
Refers to the sharpness of objects on the screen and the ability to easily distinguish one from the other.  
The process by which metal parts of the screen are demagnetized in order to reduce screen distortion and color impurity.  
(Display Data Channel) is a signaling standard established to help the performance of personal computers. In order to  
use this function, your computer must be designed for DDC. There are several types of DDC. Most computer monitors  
are designed for DDC1 and DDC2 Level B (DDC1 /2B).  
Geometry  
A set of controls that allows you to adjust the alignment of the picture on the monitor screen. The goal is to “square up”  
the picture. This is done by adjusting such items as balanced pincushion, pincushion, parallelogram, rotation, and  
trapezoid.  
Moire  
Noise  
USB  
A fringe pattern caused by the interference between two superimposed line patterns.  
Term used to refer to interference with the monitor’s picture.  
Universal Serial Bus. A way to connect your IBM-compatible computer, monitor, and peripherals for true Plug-and-Play  
functions. This is an emerging technology.
