Making Connections
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.

Making Connections
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.

Component Video Tip
Audio/Component Video Inputs
To ensure maximum picture quality, use
three video-grade cables for the Y, PB, and
PR connections.
These jacks let you connect a compatible component video source, such
as a DVD player or digital TV converter box. 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 device and the monitor.

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 “Speakers”
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)VGA2 Input
1. Turn on the monitor and the HD receiver.
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
3. Press the WHO•INPUT button on the remote control to scroll
through the video inputs until you get to the VGA2 input.
If your RCA or PROSCAN HD 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) channel in order for you to view the signal.
There are two situations in which this would occur:
Direct Channel Tuning
You can set up the monitor to
automatically tune to the (S)VGA2 input
when you press the SAT•CABLE button on
the remote. This is called Autotuning. (See
“Menus and Features” for more
information.)
•
•
When recording from the HD receiver.
When a high definition output signal is not allowed by the program
provider and/or movie studio for that particular program.

USB Inputs/Output
NOTE
USB (Universal Serial Bus) inputs let you connect PC-type peripheral
devices to the monitor. This includes devices such as joysticks, keyboards,
and pointing devices (mouse, trackball). There are three USB inputs and
one USB output that connects to a PC. The monitor acts as a hub to
the PC.
The USB port will function even when the

Connecting the G-LINK Cable
The G-LINK cable enables the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System (the on-screen
guide that lists what shows are on TV) to work with your VCR and/or
cable box. If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack, you must remove it
before you connect the G-LINK cable. If there is no demo pin, just insert
the G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack.
Cable Box – If your TV is connected to a cable box and you don’t
connect the G-LINK cable, no channels will be listed in the on-screen
program guide.
VCR – If your monitor is connected to a VCR and you don’t connect the
G-LINK cable, one-touch recording won’t work. The other features of the
guide will work properly.
How to Find the Remote Control Sensor
The G-LINK cable is used to send commands to
your VCR and/or cable box.
You have to place the wands on the G-LINK cable in front of the remote
control sensor on the VCR and/or cable box. Some cable boxes and VCRs
have the remote control sensor labeled on the unit. If the remote sensor
isn’t labeled on your VCR and/or cable box, you need to use the remote
control that came with the VCR and/or cable box to locate the sensor.
If there is a demo pin in the G-LINK jack, you
must remove it before you connect the G-LINK
cable. If there is no demo pin, just insert the
G-LINK cable into the G-LINK jack.
1. Turn off the VCR and/or cable box.
2. Hold the remote control (not the one that came with your TV, but
the one that came with the cable box and/or VCR) so it is touching
the front of the component.

3. Slowly move the remote control across the front of the component
(VCR or cable box) while you press the power button on and off.
You must press and release the power button each time you move
the remote (holding down the button won’t work).
4. When the component turns on, you’ve located the sensor.
5. Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or
cable box (see instructions below).
Placing the Wands Under the VCR
and/or Cable Box
Place the wands of the G-LINK cable underneath your VCR and/or cable
box. Place them about one inch away from the remote control sensor.

If you don’t have a VCR, just
coil the cable of the extra
G-LINK wand with a twist tie
and leave it behind the TV.
If you don’t have a cable box, just coil the
cable of the extra G-LINK wand with a twist
tie and leave it behind the TV.
Connect to G-LINK jack
on the back of the TV.
NOTE
Front Inputs
When you plug in headphones, the
monitor’s internal and external speakers
are automatically turned off.
The monitor has front inputs for convenience; one set of audio/video
(A/V) inputs, a headphone jack and two client USB ports. Look for a
hinged door and gently lift the cover open. Please note that the
illustration below shows a typical front input layout. The exact look of
the jacks or monitor pictured here may be different than yours.

Step 4: Set Up the GUIDE PIUS+ Gold System
The first time you turn on the monitor, you will see the GUIDE Plus+
Gold screen. You need to set up the GUIDE Plus+ Gold system so it can
display your local program listing and control your cable box and VCR.

Setting up
Select your Country and enter your ZIP
or Postal code.
The next series of screens asks you
about your cable TV setup. If you have
a cable box, you need to set the
GUIDE Plus+ Gold System to control it.
Otherwise, it may not be able to
locate and download program
information.
Tune your cable box to Channel 2 and
then select the brand of your cable
box from the choices available. The
system then searches for the correct
code to control your cable box. When
your cable box switches to channel 9 it
has located the correct code.
Select Yes if the cable box changed to channel 9, or No if it did not. If you select No, the system will try another code.
If the GUIDE Plus+ system cannot recognize either your cable box or VCR after several tries, a screen stating “Cable Box
(VCR) test failed...Please consult your manual and try again” appears. You have a choice to either Try Again or Skip
Cable Box Setup. If you get this message, you should also:
•
•
Double check the brand of your cable box or VCR, and try entering it again.
Check to make sure the G-LINK cable wand is positioned correctly.
If you choose to skip the cable box (or VCR) setup some features of the guide may not be available until you successfully
complete this procedure.

Setting up
Once the correct model of cable box has
been identified, you need to set the cable
box’s output channel. Enter the channel
you use to view channels through your
cable box—usually 3 or 4. Consult your
cable box’s instruction book or your cable
company if you are not sure. Choose
0/AUX to use VIDEO INPUT.
Select Yes if you have a VCR, or No if not.
(Answering No automatically skips forward
to the end of GUIDE Plus+ setup.)
Tune your VCR to channel 2 and turn it off.
Find the brand of your VCR by using the up
and down arrows.
When the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System correctly
identifies the correct code for your VCR,
the VCR’s tuner changes to channel 9.
Select Yes if the VCR automatically changed
to channel 9, or No if it did not.
If you select No, the system will try another
code.
The last screen comes up when you’ve
successfully finished the GUIDE Plus+ setup.
Remember:
•
•
Leave your cable box turned ON to download program information.
Leave your VCR turned OFF to record programs and download
information.
Press OK to leave the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System setup.
Step 5: Run Auto Channel Search
CHANNEL
This is an important step because running Auto Channel Search searches
for all the channels available through the antenna or cable input. When
the monitor finds an active channel, it places it in the channel list;
inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at all) will be
removed from the channel list. To run Auto Channel Search:

When exiting this menu the Save Personal Picture Preset Choice List will
appear. You can choose either Yes or No.
If you choose Personal Picture Preset, you
can customize color, tint, black level, and
sharpness to your desired level, and the
television “saves” those settings. After
you’ve done this, it allows you to go back
into the menu and select Bright, Normal,
or Soft Lighting when you need to
without losing your customized settings.
For example, if you normally use Personal
Picture Preset but wanted to watch a
show in Bright Lighting, choose Bright
Lighting, watch the show, and then
afterwards return to your customized
settings by choosing Personal Picture
Preset again.
Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of three
preset picture settings: Bright Lighting, Normal Lighting, Soft Lighting or
Personal Picture Preset. Based on the degree of lighting in your room,
you should choose Bright, Normal, or Soft Lighting. After you select one,
the contrast, color tint, black level, and sharpness settings found under
the Picture Settings menu are automatically adjusted according to your
selection.
Auto Color Displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that
automatically corrects the color of the picture. (This is especially useful
for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to
channel.) Choose On or Off, depending on your preference. Auto Color
is not available for VGA or component video.
Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you adjust three
automatic color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture
colors; Normal; and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The
warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 6500 K and Normal to
9300 K.
Video Noise Reduction Displays a choice list that lets you adjust the
feature that automatically reduces noise from the picture. Video Noise
Reduction is not available in Text mode when in VGA mode.
Picture Mode The picture mode control panel appears when the
monitor is tuned to a VGA input.
Computer/Text is the recommended input and setting for most PC
connections when viewing text and graphics. Text may appear
crisper in Text mode.
Video is the default setting for the VGA2 input. This input and
setting is recommended in such instances as HD receiver
connections. The appearance of text in Video mode may be
improved by lowering the picture’s sharpness and contrast (see
above).

Menu Background Color This menu item lets you choose between

Adjust Projection TV Lets you adjust the TV’s three colors. Automatic
Convergence will cause the monitor to self-correct color images. This
process results in a temporarily blank screen, may take several minutes,
and should be completed for each mode: NTSC, VGA, HDTV, and SVGA.
Note that Automatic Convergence covers only the mode selected at the
time. To Auto Converge for another mode, enter the mode and select
Automatic Convergence again. Selecting Red Convergence or Blue
Convergence lets you align the red and blue images with the green
image. For best results, run Automatic Convergence after the TV has
been on for at least 30 minutes.
Your Projection TV has three color
projection tubes—one for red, one for
green, and one for blue. When the tubes’
images are precisely aligned, they create
the color images you see on the TV
screen. Over time, the picture can drift
out of alignment due to normal
component aging, bumps, and vibrations
or moving the TV. If you notice rings or
halos around objects in the picture, you
may want to try adjusting Projection TV
settings.
*Picture Position This menu item appears when the monitor is tuned
to a VGA input. This control adjusts the horizontal and vertical position
of the main picture window. Use the arrows on the remote control to
move the window. Press OK to set the positioning.
*This option is not available when an HD receiver or computer of similar
frequency is connected to one of the (S)VGA inputs.

The first three choices in the Parental Controls menu involve software 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 software 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 software reads a code that most broadcasters send with programs. That code tells
the V-Chip software 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.
Age-Based Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings
Rating
TV-MA
Mature Audience Only. Specifically designed to be viewed by adults and may be unsuitable for
children under 17. It contains one or more of the following content themes: crude indecent
language (L), explicit sexual activity (S), or graphic violence (V).
TV-14
Parents Strongly Cautioned. Contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for
children under 14. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program
and are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watch unattended. This program
contains one or more of the following content themes: intensely suggestive dialogue (D),
strong coarse language (L), intense sexual situations (S), or intense violence (V).
TV-PG
Parental Guidance Suggested. Contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger
children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The program contains one
or more of the following content themes: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse
language (L), some sexual situations (S, or moderate violence (V).
TV-G
General Audience. Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages.
TV-Y7
Directed to Children 7 years and older. Designed for children ages 7 and above. It may be more
appropriate for children who have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between
make-believe and reality. Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence
(FV) or comedic violence, or may frighten children under the age of 7.
TV-Y
All Children. Themes and elements in this program are designed for a young audience, including
children from ages 2-6. It is not expected to frighten younger children.

Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your monitor before cleaning.
You can clean the monitor as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the
cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The monitor’s screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen. If
necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage
the monitor.
While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the monitor.
Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the monitor. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or
damage to the monitor.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images
are left on the screen for long periods,
they may be permanently imprinted on
the screen. Such images include
network logos, phone numbers, and
video games. This damage is not
covered by your warranty. Extended
viewing of channels displaying these
images should be avoided.

Radio Interference
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.
