CONNECTIONS & SETUP

CONNECTING COMPONENTS TO YOUR

MONITOR

Your monitor has several input and output jacks that you can use with many different types of components. This creates a great number of connection variations. Therefore, the following section shows the different types of jacks and examples of the types of components that can be connected to those jacks. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to read any connection information in other components’ user manuals as well.

Before You Connect

Protect against power surges:

Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

Turn off the monitor and/or component before connecting or disconnecting any cables.

Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the “Important Safeguards” sheet packed with your monitor.

ANTENNA/CABLE IN

The ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack lets you connect a screw-on or push on antenna or cable lead. Use this if you want the monitor to receive signals through a coaxial cable from an antenna or other source, such as a VCR.
