6. If audio is being input, connect the audio source to the 3.5 mm

audio input jack on the front panel. Refer to the audio

connector diagrams on the last page.

7. Connect the output display device, such as a projector, VGA-

compatible monitor, etc., to the 15-pin VGA data display

connector on the rear panel of the P/2 DA2 MT.

8. Connect an audio device to the 3.5 mm captive screw audio

The front panel consists of a 2-color LED indicator (amber indicates power On only, green indicates power On with video signal present), a 3.5 mm female audio input jack, a 15-pin female VGA input, a 15-pin female VGA buffered local monitor output, and 2 DIP switches that set the input termination.
