    3. Connect the audio cable.
    To Input Audio Signals
    Connect the provided audio cable between the socket on 
    the rear of the monitor (Line In) and your computer 
    audio outlet. 
    If the video source is Component, connect the 
    corresponding audio output of your output device to the 
    AUDIO input terminals (L/R) on the monitor using the 
    RCA (L/R) audio cable. The plugs used for audio 
    transmission are in white and red. Make sure that the 
    colors of the Audio plugs and the terminals match when 
    making the connection.
    Connect the other end of the Audio cable to the Audio 
    ports of the video output device.
    To check the available audio inputs that go with each 
    video source, see 
    Video sources and the available 
    audio inputs on page 35
    .
    To Output Audio Signals
    You are provided with the following options to output 
    audio from the monitor:
    • You may connect headphones to the headphone jack 
    found on the back side of the monitor. See picture on the 
    right.
     
    • If you prefer using external speakers, please also use 
    another audio cable (usually supplied with the speakers) 
    to connect the monitor (Line Out) to the input/Line In 
    jack of the speaker.
     
    						
    							  13   How to assemble your monitor hardware
    • Or you can output audio using the built-in speakers on 
    the monitor.
    The output priority of the audio signals detected on your monitor is headphone jack, Line Out socket, and 
    the built-in speakers. Your monitor scans for available sockets and outputs audio signals in this order if 
    audio cables are connected properly.
    A headphone should be connected to the headphone jack only; connection to other jacks may cause 
    damage to the headphone. If you prefer to output the audio signals to external speakers or other sound 
    systems, use Audio Line Out on the monitor.
    4. Connect USB Devices.
    I. Connect the USB cable between the PC and the monitor 
    (via the upstream USB port at the back). This upstream 
    USB port transmits data between the PC and the USB 
    devices connected to the monitor.
    II. Connect USB devices via other USB ports 
    (downstream) on the monitor. These downstream USB 
    ports transmit data between connected USB devices and 
    the upstream port. 
    See picture on the right.
    5. Connect the power cable to the monitor.
    Plug one end of the power cord into the socket labelled 
     on the rear of the monitor. Do not connect the other 
    end to a power outlet just yet.

    5. Getting the most from your BenQ monitor
    To gain the most benefit from your new BenQ color LCD flat screen monitor, you should install 
    the custom BenQ LCD Monitor driver software as provided on the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM.
    The circumstances under which you connect and install your BenQ LCD Monitor will determine 
    which process you need to follow to successfully install the BenQ LCD Monitor driver software. 
    These circumstances relate to which version of Microsoft Windows you are using, and whether 
    you are connecting the monitor and installing the software onto a new computer (without existing 
    monitor driver software), or whether you are upgrading an existing installation (which already has 
    existing monitor driver software) with a newer monitor. 
    In either case however, the very next time you turn on your computer (after connecting the 
    monitor to your computer), Windows will automatically recognize the new (or different) 
    hardware, and will launch its 
    Found New Hardware Wizard. 
    Follow the wizard instructions until it asks you to select a monitor model. At that point, click the 
    Have Disk button, insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM and select the appropriate monitor 
    model. Further details and step-by-step instructions for either an automatic (new) or upgrade 
    (existing) installation, see:
    •How to install the monitor on a new computer on page 18.
    •How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer on page 19.
    • 
    If you require a User Name and Password to login to your Windows computer, you must be logged on 
    as an Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install the monitor driver 
    software. Furthermore, if your computer is connected to a network which has security access 
    requirements, network policy settings may prevent you from installing software on your computer.
    • To check the name of the purchased model, refer to the specification label on the back of the monitor.

    How to install the monitor on a new computer
    This instruction details the procedure for selecting and installing the BenQ LCD Monitor driver 
    software on a new computer which has never had a monitor driver installed before. This 
    instruction is only suitable for a computer which has never been used before, and for which the 
    BenQ LCD Monitor is the first ever monitor to be connected to it.
    If you are adding the BenQ LCD Monitor to an existing computer that has already had another monitor 
    connected to it (and has monitor driver software installed), you should not be following these instructions. 
    You should instead be following the instructions for How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer.
    1. Follow the instructions in How to assemble your monitor hardware on page 10. 
    When Windows starts, it will automatically detect the new monitor and launch the Found New 
    Hardware Wizard. Follow the prompts until it displays the option to Install Hardware Device 
    Drivers.
    2. Insert the BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM into a CD drive on the computer.
    3. Check 
    Search for a suitable driver for my device option, and click Next.
    4. Check the option for CD-ROM drives (uncheck all others) and click 
    Next.
    5. Look to confirm that the wizard has selected the correct name of your monitor and click 
    Next.

    How to upgrade the monitor on an existing computer
    This instruction details the procedure for manually updating the existing monitor driver software 
    on your Microsoft Windows computer. It is currently tested as compatible for Windows XP, 
    Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Operating System (OS). 
    The BenQ LCD Monitor driver for your model may well function perfectly with other versions of Windows, 
    however, as at the time of writing, BenQ has done no testing of this driver on other versions of Windows 
    and cannot guarantee its operation on those systems.
    Installing monitor driver software involves selecting an appropriate information file (.inf ) on the 
    BenQ LCD Monitor CD-ROM for the particular model monitor you have connected, and letting 
    Windows install the corresponding driver files from the CD. You need only steer it in the right 
    direction. Windows has an Upgrade Device Driver Wizard to automate the task and guide you 
    through the file selection and installation process. 
    See:
    •How to install on Windows 7 system on page 20.
    •How to install on Windows Vista systems on page 21.
    •How to install on Windows XP system on page 22.
