Main power button

Turn on the Monitor

1.Push in the main power button on the back of the monitor (located on the lower-left side).

2.Press MONITOR on the remote, or press POWER on the monitor’s front panel.

Note: Pressing the MONITOR button turns on the monitor and puts the remote into monitor mode. “Monitor mode” means that the buttons on the remote control operate the monitor’s functions.

Set up Your Monitor

The first thing you need to do after turning on your plasma monitor is to tune it to the Video Input Channel which corresponds to how it is connected to the video source signal from the HD receiver, satellite receiver, or cable box. Make sure the remote is in the monitor mode by pressing the MONITOR button, then press the INPUT button repeatedly until the signal appears for the input you have connected.

Remember, the monitor is dependent on an external source for programming (HD receiver, cable box, etc); it can’t receive channels on its own.

1.Press the MENU button on the remote control (the MAIN MENU appears).

2.Press the down arrow button to highlight Preferences, then press OK (the Preferences menu appears with Language highlighted).
