Setting the Monitor Impedance

If you can switch the impedance values on your monitor, use the following recommended settings:

•RGB video input: 75 Ohm

•Sync: 2.2 kOhm

Try other 'Sync' settings if you cannot achieve a stable video image.

If the impedance setting options are 'High' and 'Low' only, try the setting that provides the most satisfactory monitor display.
