The first two sections of the manual show you how to: Check out the notes that have been added throughout the manual in these tip boxes. There are some important tips that will help you get the most from your monitor. 5 Connections & Setup 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. Screw-on coaxial cable ANTENNA/ CABLE INPUT Push-on coaxial cable COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT AUDIO VIDEO L R S-VIDEO AUDIO R Y PB USB PR INPUT1 ANTENNA/ CABLE INPUT L INPUT2 PC/ HUB DIGITAL TV INPUT SELECTED OUTPUTS L AUDIO R (S)VGA 1 (S)VGA 2 STEREO INPUT AUDIO INPUTS L R VIDEO INPUT3 L VARIABLE L R R EXT SPEAKERS EXT POWER + + R You can use coaxial cables to connect devices such as: 6 • Antenna or cable leads • Cable boxes • VCRs • Satellite receivers DEVICE/ HUB AUDIO OUTPUTS FIXED L INT Connections & Setup 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.

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. Green Blue Red To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, PB, and PR connections.

First, press the TV button on the remote to make sure that the remote is in TV mode; then press the INPUT button to scroll through the video inputs until you get to the COMP input. Connections & Setup AUDIO OUTPUT 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.

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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 0 MAIN MENU Audio Picture Quality Screen Channel Time Parental Controls Go PARENTAL Back CONTROLS 1 V-Chip TV Rating Limit 2 V-Chip Movie Rating Limit 3 V-Chip Unrated Program Block 4 Channel Block 5 Front Panel Block 6 Lock Parental Controls 0 Go Back 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 Rating Description and Content Themes for Age-Based Ratings 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: graphic violence (V), explicit sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L). 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: intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D). 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: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D). 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. 41 Menus and Features V-CHIP TV RATING LIMIT The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide what TV programs can and cannot be viewed. To set TV programming limits: 1. Choose Parental Controls from the Main menu. If Parental Controls have previously been locked, you must enter your password.

Content Status Fields Lets you select which content themes to view for the selected rating, and whether the status of the content theme is currently View (V) or Block (B). 42 Menus and Features Blocking Age-Based Ratings You can automatically block all program ratings above a specified age-based rating level. For example, if you only want your child to watch programs that have a TV-G rating and lower (in other words, you want the child to watch TV-G, TV-Y7, and TV-Y), then you need to block out other programming with higher ratings. When you change the status of a rating to Block, the system will automatically block higher ratings and all corresponding content themes. To block programs with higher ratings: 1. First, determine the lowest level rating you do not want the child to watch. 2. Use the left and right arrows to highlight the Rating Field. 3. Use the up and down arrows on the remote to scroll through the age-based rating limits. Keep scrolling until the rating corresponding with the lowest rating you do not want the child to watch appears. In the example discussed above, you would scroll through the rating field until TV-PG appears, since the highest rating you want the child to watch is TV-G. 4. Use the right arrow to move the yellow highlight to the rating status field. 5. Press the up or down arrow to toggle between View and Block. The status for the rating listed to the left and all higher ratings automatically changes to Block (and B).

It includes a specification sheet, a troubleshooting section, the limited warranty, an accessories order form and an index. 1 ➣ ➣ 51 Reference TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Controls don’t work • The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Unlock. • • 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, etc.) you are trying to control. Maybe the remote is not in TV mode. Press the TV button so the remote will control the monitor. Maybe the batteries in the remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing the batteries. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.) Remove the batteries and hold the number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the 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. Due to copyright restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition programs in high definition format using this product. To view this type of programming in standard definition, you must connect the A/V cables from the HD receiver to the monitor. Picture on screen is not centered while in VGA mode • • Adjust picture by going to Picture Position in the Screen Menu. Use remote arrows to adjust the picture position. 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 or black box on screen • In some cases, 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” and set monitor display for the desired mode (such as SVGA 800x600 Progressive). • Captioning may be turned on. Check the Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu. No sound, picture okay • • • 52 Maybe the sound is muted. Try pressing the volume up button to restore sound. Maybe the 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. Also check the INT/EXT switch on the back of the monitor. Reference Can’t select certain channel or turns off while playing • • • 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. 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 a VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure your TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4—the same as the CH3/4 switch on your VCR. Also check to make sure the TV/VCR switch on your VCR is in correct position. Sound okay, picture poor • • Check antenna connections. Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. 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.
