Why You Should Use the Autotuning Feature
The autotuning feature tunes the monitor to the correct Video Input Channel for different components you have connected to your monitor (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.). The Video Input Channel corresponds to the input jacks you used to connect a component to the montior. When you set up autotuning in the menu system you don’t have to remember to change your monitor to VID1, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.
