1. Connecting AV Devices

The monitor has AV connection terminals to connect AV input devices like DVDs, VCRs or Camcorders. You 
may enjoy AV signals as long as the monitor is turned on.

1. Input devices such as DVDs, VCRs or Camcorders are connected to the Video or S-Video terminal of the 

monitor using the RCA or S-VHS cable.

  S-VHS or RCA cable is optional.

2. Connect the Audio (R) and Audio (L) terminals of a DVD, VCR or Camcorders to the monitor's R and L audio 

input terminals using audio cables.

3. Select Video or S-Video that is connected to a DVD, VCR or Camcorders using the Source button on the 

monitor's front.

4. Then, start the DVD, VCR or Camcorders with a DVD disc or tape inserted. 

2. Connecting TV (Connect a TV tuner box (not included))

With a TV tuner box (not included), you can watch TV simply by hooking up the monitor to an antenna or to your 
cable box. There is no need to buy a TV card which connects to a PC, or additional hardware or software.
Contact a local Samsung Electronics 

service center

 to buy optional items.
