UC Monitor Limitations
This monitor is a UC monitor and therefore when connecting cameras and audio devices to it, 
cameras and audio devices except for the monitor display are recognized as USB devices and 
not as a camera or audio device.
This monitor must be connected with a D-Sub (Analog) or a DVI-D cable (Digital) when used as a 
normal monitor. USB cables are used when connecting other devices.
  
For some media players, when a USB device is being recognized again while a media player is 
running, you have to close and run it again to operate the sound and camera devices normally.
  
For some PCs, your PC may not boot up with the monitor recognized even if the USB cable is 
connected, depending on the PC BIOS version. 
Check whether the BIOS on your PC has been updated to the latest version. 
  
Because of the characteristics of USB audio devices, the initial volume setting of your UC monitor 
may be very low. (This may differ depending on the operating system.) At this time, adjust the 
Master Volume on your PC.
