the Display

The display requires a stable, level, and clean surface near a power outlet, 10 cm (4") away from walls or other large objects. The rear ventilation grid should be unobstructed, and the display should not be exposed to water or heat. Before setting up the display, prepare such a space.

To set up the display:

1.

Remove the power cord and DC power adapter from the accessories box.

Insert the appropriate end of the cord into the power connector on the DC power adapter, then insert the other end into a free power outlet.

The blue light on the DC power adapter should come on.

If it doesn't, check that the cord is securely connected and that the power outlet works properly.

Insert the DC power adapter's cord into the power connector on the bottom of the display.

Note:

Make sure you plug the power connector into the display with the arrow on top. Failure to do so will cause a short circuit.

Connecting to a TV Signal Source

A TV signal may come from a cable box, satellite receiver, antenna, or similar device.

To connect a TV signal source to the display:

1.

Connect a coax cable between the antenna jack on the bottom of the display and the signal source (that is, the cable box, satellite receiver, or antenna).

Note:

If you would like to be able to record the TV signal with a VCR or similar device, connect the signal source to the input of the recording device with one cable, then connect the output of the recording device to the antenna jack on the display with another cable.

Setting Up the Display

Accessing the Connector Panel

All audio and video connections other than those for a television signal or a PC are the connector panel. To access the jacks on the panel, remove the cover as shown below--rel; the two tabs to the right, then pull the cover out.

Connecting to Composite Video Output Devices

Many video devices, such as VCRs, DVD players, video game systems, and camcorders, have

composite

video outputs.

Composite video uses one RCA cable to transmit video information and generally provides lower quality than S-Video and component video (see below).

Note:

The composite video and S-Video inputs share an audio input.

To connect a composite video source to the display:

1.

Remove the connector panel cover from the rear of the display.

2.

Using the included RCA cables (shown on page 2), connect the composite video output

(yellow) on the source device to the

VIDEO-IN jack on the connector panel.

3.

Connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to the

VIDEO-IN jack.

ace the connector panel cover.

OMPLTV32.book

Page 5 ICriday, June 10, 2005 8:48 AM

Output Devices

that have composite video have S-Video outputs.

S-Video uses four-wire cable to transmit video information.

Two of the wires are used to transmit video. Because it splits the video signal into two components, S-Video generally provides higher quality than composite video, but lower quality than component video (see below).

Note:

The composite video and S-Video inputs share an audio input.

Note:

The pins used in S-Video connectors are somewhat fragile.

Take care to avoid bending the pins, as a bent or broken pin can cause loss of color information or total signal loss.

To connect an S-Video source to the display:

....

1.

Remove the connector panel cover.

2.

Using an S-Video cable, connect the S-Video output on the source device to the S-Video jack on the connector panel.

3.

Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to the VIDEO-IN jack.

4.

Replace the connector panel cover.

Setting Up the Display

Connecting to Component Video (Progressive Scan)

High-quality video devices, such as HDTV receivers and high-end DVD players, have component video outputs.

Component video uses three RCA connections to transmit video information.

Because the information is split into three signals, component video offers higher quality than either composite video or S-Video.

Progressive scan component video uses three signals labeled Y, Pb, and Pr. Use this procedure only for progressive scan video (video formats 480p, 525p, 720p, and so on). See the next section for information on connecting interlaced component video signals to the display.

Note:

The two component video inputs (RCA and D4) share an audio input.

To connect a progressive scan component video source to the display:

1.

Remove the connector panel cover.

2.

Using the included D4-to-RCA cable (shown on page

2), connect the three component video outputs (Y,

Pb, and Pr) on the output device to the D4 jack on the connector panel. On the output device, connect the green RCA connector to Y, the blue connector to

Pb, and the red connector to Pr. Then connect the D4 connector to the D4 jack on the connector panel.

3.

Using two RCA cables, connect the right (red) and left (white) audio outputs on the source to the corresponding AUDIO-IN jacks next to the component inputs on the connector panel.

4.

Replace the connector panel cover.

Video (Interlaced)

component video uses three signals

Cb, and Cr. Use this procedure only for video (video formats 480i, 525i, 720i, and so on). See the previous section for information on connecting progressive scan signals to the display.

Note:

The two component video inputs (RCA and D4) share an audio input.

To connect an interlaced component video source to the display:

1.

Remove the connector panel cover.

2.

Using three RCA cables, connect the three component video outputs (Y, Cb, and Cr) to the corresponding jacks on the connector panel.

Display for the First Time

When you turn on your LCD for the first time, you will need to set up the display for proper operation by scanning the television spectrum for available

channels.

Setting up Television Channels

If you are connecting directly to a wall jack or antenna (that is, if you are not using a cable box or satellite receiver), you should scan the signal spectrum to weed out channels with insufficient signal strength once the television signal is connected to the display. This will make it much easier to navigate through the channels.

To scan the signal spectrum:

1.

Turn the display on using the POWER button.

2.

Change the signal source to "TV" by repeatedly pressing the SOURCE button until "TV" shows in the top right corner of the screen.

3.

Press the MENU button to bring up the On-
