Connecting a VCR
Using S-Video Input
1. Connect the S-Video (4-pin DIN) connector from
the VCR to the “S-VIDEO 1” input on the back
of monitor.
2. Connect the red (R) and white (L) audio jacks
from the VCR to the R and L audio-in jacks
located next to the S-VIDEO 1 connector.
Using Composite Input
1. Connect the “yellow” (video) out connector from
the VCR to the yellow “VIDEO 1” input on the
back of monitor.
2. Connect the red (R) and white (L) audio-out
jacks from the VCR to the R and L audio-in jacks
located next to the “yellow” VIDEO 1 connector.
Using TV Input
1. Connect the “output to TV” (RF out or Antenna
out) connector from the VCR to the ANT
“antenna” input on the back of monitor.
TV / Cable TV Connections
Connecting to TV or Cable TV
1. Make sure your monitor is equipped with a TV tuner. You
can tell by looking at the connection jacks located on the
back of the monitor. If there is a threaded-screw type of
connector (called the RF connector), then you have a TV
tuner. If you do not see this type of connector, then you do
not have a TV tuner installed.
2. Connect the RF cable from the antenna or cable socket to
the RF connector labeled as “ANT” on the back of the mon-
itor.
Notes:
If your monitor is not equipped with a TV tuner, please con-
tact your local sales representative for purchase.
You can still receive TV or Cable TV reception without the
TV tuner if you have a VCR with a built-in TV tuner con-
nected to the back of the monitor. See Connecting a VCR
for instructions on how to attach a VCR to this monitor.
Important Safety Instructions: Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV
receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-
tion of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Example of antenna grounding as per National Electrical
Code is as the right picture.
Note:
The TV input option is only available when a TV
tuner is installed inside the monitor.
Cable must be connected from wall/cable box into
VCR’s antenna (RF) input.
