Turn on the Monitor

1.Push in the main power button on the back of the monitor (located on the lower-left side).

Set up Your Monitor

The first thing you need to do after turning on your plasma monitor is to tune it to the Video Input Channel which corresponds to how it is connected to the video source signal from the HD receiver, satellite receiver, or cable box. Make sure the remote is in the monitor mode by pressing the MONITOR button, then press the INPUT button repeatedly until the signal appears for the input you have connected.

Remember, the monitor is dependent on an external source for programming (HD receiver, cable box, etc); it can’t receive channels on its own.
