BASIC CONNECTION EXAMPLE

Notes:

•Before connecting your system, make sure that all units are turned off.

•The illustration below shows some examples of different connections. Terminal connections may differ depending on the component connected. Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the unit(s) you are connecting.

•Each pair of input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are bridge-connected.

•If you’re not connecting any equipment to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any other cables to the bridged output (OUT) terminal as this will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto terminate function).

•When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video components.

(For example, if both terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except during playback. This is caused by the same video signal “looping” between the VCRs, and is not a malfunction.)

•Select the video input (INPUT A (VIDEO) or INPUT B (VIDEO)) with the INPUT SELECT buttons on the front panel.

•The ASPECT RATIO or INPUT A/B settings can be controlled via the REMOTE terminal by setting ASPECT REMOTE or INPUT REMOTE in the <SET-UP MENU> screen to valid. (Refer to pages 9 and 10.)

The following are not malfunctions:

● When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the

structure of the cathode ray tube and will be deleted when another image is displayed.

● You experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static

electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.

● The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality

appears on the screen as well.

● If two or more monitors are operated next to each other, their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon is due to

the power off on any monitor that is not being used.
