This section describes how to select a computer or video source and how to adjust the picture and sound.

General Controls

Before you turn on your MultiSync XP29 Plus/XM29 Plus monitor ensure that the computer or video source is turned on.

1)To adjust:

1.Turn On The Monitor

The power button is on the front panel of the monitor. By turning this switch on, the STANDBY/POWER indicator will turn to green and the monitor will become ready to use. OSM is also usable from the front bezel.

After you press the POWER OFF button on the remote control, the monitor will go into its standby mode and the STANDBY/POWER indicator will glow red.

2.Select The Computer Or Video Source

Press the “VIDEO 1” or “VIDEO 2” (VCR, document camera, or laser disc player), or “RGB 1” or ” RGB 2”(computer) button on the remote control to display the image. Or press the button on the front panel to select your video source: “VIDEO 1”, “VIDEO 2”, “RGB 1”, or “RGB 2”.

NOTE 1: In the U.S.A. the standard video signal format is NTSC, therefore make sure that the AUTO or NTSC is selected on OSM system control menu. See page 40.

NOTE 2: Select the over scan mode for VIDEO display.

3.Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.

You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size, vertical size or side pincushion correction, and the brightness and contrast of the image with the remote control.

4.Turning Off The monitor.

Press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or press the POWER button on the front panel.

Degaussing

The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is switched on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.

CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to elapse between uses of the DEGAUSS key, when not switching from mode to mode. Do not hold the key down continuously to avoid decreasing the life of the degauss circuitry.
