Connection to audio/video components

Using the VID1 and VID2 jacks

Connect a component, such as a VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver, to the monitor using the VID1 or VID2 jacks. Connect an S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO In jack and to the S-Video Out jack on the component. Then connect audio cables to the Audio In L and R jacks on the back of the monitor and to the Audio Output jacks on the component.

Notes:

•If S-Video and composite video are connected at the same time, S-Video takes priority.

•If the component you are connecting only has a video jack, connect the component to the monitor’s VID1 VIDEO jack using a standard video cable.
