Using Your VSX 3000 System as a PC Monitor

If you have a VSX 3000 system, you can save space in your office or conference room by also using the VSX 3000 XGA display as your PC monitor.

Typically, you do not need to change the factory defaults for these settings. However, if you do need to access the monitor settings, use the buttons on the front of the VSX 3000 monitor. Press MENU, then press SELECT and ADJUST as needed to change the settings.
