Getting to know your display
Introduction
This booklet is divided into two sections: the Quick Start Guide; and the User’s Manual.
For details of the Quick Start Guide, see
"1. Please read these instructions" on page 2
.
This is section 2, the User's Manual which describes how to customise the display settings so that
you can gain the best viewing experience possible to suit your preferences and viewing
environment. This section details the features and functions of the display and the remote
control, describes how to connect to other devices, and provides product specifications and
troubleshooting information for your further assistance.
What do I connect?
This LCD display is a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital display device. It has a built-in
analog TV tuner which can be used to view standard definition analog television (TV or ATV),
cable television (CATV), or radio frequency (RF) modulated video through its coaxial TV
Antenna input socket.
However, the high quality of a widescreen LCD display isn’t realized through analog TV. The
highest possible quality display is only possible from high definition digital video sources like
High Definition TV (HDTV), High Definition DVD (HVD).
Input options
This display supports the simultaneous connection of several different types of TV, Video and
Graphic sources, and permits you to select whichever one of the available sources you wish to
view at any time. You use the Input
button on the remote control or the display to cycle
through and select an input source.
There are multiple sockets on the rear and side of the display for TV, Video, and Graphic inputs.
• Analog TV source input includes: 1 x Coaxial analog TV Antenna (BNL)
• Video source inputs include: 2 x S-Video, 2 x Composite Video, and 2 x SCART.
• Graphic source inputs include: 2 x Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr) or (Y/Cb/Cr), 1 x HDMI/
DVI, and 1 x PC D-Sub.
You should connect whichever TV, Video or Graphic sources you wish to view on the display.
You need not connect more than one if that one is all you wish to view.
Connecting analog TV source inputs
The TV Antenna input is the only input which can make use of the built-in TV tuner and enable
this display to be referred to as a TV. You can connect an external VHF or UHF TV antenna (if
available) to the TV Antenna input using an appropriate TV coaxial cable, and select the 'ATV'
input to view analog TV broadcasts. See
"4. Connect the antenna cable" on page 4
.
If you have cable TV, you can connect your cable TV decoder box to the TV Antenna input using
an appropriate TV coaxial cable, and select the 'ATV' input to view cable TV.
Connecting Composite (AV) source inputs
You can connect an external analog video device (if available—VCR, VCD or DVD) to either of
the Composite Video (AV or SCART) or S-Video inputs, and select 'AV1', 'AV2' (for SCART
input), 'AV3', 'AV4' (for AV input), 'AV3-S', 'AV4-S' (for S-Video input) or 'AV2-S' (for S-Video
via SCART input) as the input source respectively to view analog video. See
"Connecting the
Composite Video input" on page 22
,
"Connecting the SCART inputs" on page 21
or
"Connecting the S-Video input" on page 22
. If the video source device supports it, you could
alternatively connect it using the Component inputs for the best possible resolution picture.
Connecting Component Video source inputs
You can connect Component Video inputs such as an external digital TV (DTV) tuner to either
of the Component Video inputs, and select the 'Component 1' or 'Component 2' input
respectively to view DTV broadcasts. See
"Connecting the Component Video input" on page 23
