Connecting audio and video inputs
Pay attention to the following when making connections:
• For safety reasons, before connecting any external devices, please turn the devices off.
• Also, before deciding upon a particular connec tion method, please familiarise yourself with 
the location and type of each input.
• Be aware that if incorrect connections are made, picture or colour quality may be adversely  affected.
• Once connected, please ensure that all plugs and connectors are firmly seated.
Connecting the SCART inputs
Connecting the SCART outputs
Connect the AV1 or AV2 (SCART) terminal on 
the display to the SCART terminal on the AV 
equipment using a SCART cable (not provided).
Connect the AV1 or AV2 (SCART) terminal on the 
display to the SCART terminal on the AV equipment 
using a SCART cable (not provided).
Depending on the input source connected and selected 
by using the  Input button on the remote control, the 
AV1 and AV2 SCART terminals can be set to output 
different types of signals as shown in the table below:

Connecting the Composite Video input
Connecting the S-Video input 
Connect the Composite Video output of your 
AV equipment to the Composite Video (AV3) 
input terminals on the back of the display using 
the Composite Video cable (RCA connector, not 
provided) as illustrated.
A Composite Video cable consists of three 
connectors: Yellow (video), White (left channel 
audio), and Red (right channel audio).
Composite Video input is the most 
commonly used signal input, however, this 
type of input provides the least optimal 
image quality. S-Video and Component 
Video provide better quality signals.
Many video sources can only output 
Composite video signals, for example, 
most VCRs, analog Camcorders and game 
consoles.
1. Connect the S-Video output of your AV 
equipment to the displays AV3 S-VIDEO 
terminal using the S-Video cable (not 
provided). Pay attention to the alignment of 
the plugs on the S-Video cable when inserting 
so as not to damage any pins.
2. Connect the audio output of your AV  equipment to the displays AV3 AUDIO L/R 
input terminals using the AV cable (not 
provided). The yellow plugs are not used.
You need not connect both a Composite 
Video and an S-Video from the same 
device; just one or the other. 
If you have the choice, use the S-Video 
instead of Composite Video as an S-video 
signal provides a higher quality image to 
that of Composite Video.

Connecting the Component Video input 
Connecting the PC input 
The display supports two separate sets of 
Component Video inputs. This allows you to 
connect two independent Component Video 
equipped AV devices to the display at the same 
time if you wish. You then need only select the 
appropriate input to view using the INPUT 
button on the remote control. A Component 
Video cable consists of three connectors: Green (Y), Blue (Pb), and Red (Pr).
1. Connect the Component Video output of  your AV equipment to the displays 
COMPONENT (Y C
B/PB CR/PR) terminals 
using the Component Video cable (not 
provided).
2. Connect the audio output of your AV  equipment to the displays COMPONENT 
AUDIO L/R input terminals using an audio 
cable (not provided).
Of the analog video signal types, 
Component Video offers the best quality.
Ensure the connector colours match, as 
failure to connect the correct colours of 
the cables to the corresponding coloured 
terminals will result in a incorrectly 
coloured or badly distorted image. 
See  Supported Video (Component/DVI) 
Input Signal Timing on page 40  for timing 
options.
1. Connect the video output of your PC to the  PC D-SUB terminal on the display using a 
mini (15-pin) D-Sub cable (not provided).
2. Connect the audio output of your PC to the  displays PC AUDIO input terminal using an 
appropriate mini-jack stereo audio cable (not 
provided).
See  Supported PC (D-Sub/DVI) Input 
Signal Timing on page 40  for timing 
options.
If you require more information on how to 
connect your particular equipment type, 
please refer to the manual of the piece of 
equipment you wish to connect.

HDMI supports existing high-definition 
video formats (576p, 720p and 1080i). It 
also has the flexibility to support 
enhanced definition formats such as 480p, 
as well as standard definition formats such 
as NTSC or PAL. It also supports Dolby 5.1 
audio and high-resolution audio formats.
1. Connect the digital video output of your  equipment to the HDMI terminal on the 
display using a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable 
(not provided).
2. Connect the audio output of your equipment  to the displays PC AUDIO input terminal 
using an appropriate mini-jack stereo audio 
cable (not provided).
The DVI input only supports progressive 
signals. When connected to a High 
Definition Set Top Box, 1080i should be 
selected as the output resolution.
When connected to a Personal Computer 
select 1024 x 768 as the image resolution.
