External Equipment Connections
NOTE: All cables shown are not included with the monitor.
- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and monitor.
- Use the ISM Method (on the Special menu) feature to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of
time. Typically a frozen still picture from a VCR. If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen
may remain visible on the screen.
Connection Option
1. Connect the audio and video cables from the
VCRs output jacks to the set input jacks, as
shown in the figure. 
When connecting the set to VCR, match the
jack colors (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white,
and Audio Right = red).
If you connect an S-VIDEO output from VCR to
the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is
improved; compared to connecting a regular
VCR to the Video input.
2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press
PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner’s
manual.) 
3. Select the input source with using the INPUT
button on the remote control.
Do not connect to both Video and S-
Video at the same time. In the event
that you connect both Video and the
S-Video cables, only the S-Video will
work.

2. Use the set’s RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO)
INPUT port for video connections, depending on
your PC connector. 
• If the graphic card on the PC does not output
analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect
only one of either RGB INPUT or HDMI/DVI

• If the graphic card on the PC does output analog
and digital RGB simultaneously, set the set to
either RGB or HDMI/DVI (VIDEO); (the other
mode is set to Plug and Play automatically by the
