PC (to use TV as a monitor)
Use a male to male VGA cable to connect a computer monitor output to the PC input on the back of
the set. Make sure the computer resolution is set equal to or lower than the maximum resolution of
the set, which is WXGA or 1366 X 768.
External Speakers
You can drive an external amplifier and speakers by connecting the composite audio output jacks to
the line input jacks of the external amplifier. The composite audio output level is variable and
controlled by the TV volume control and can also be muted. You can access the setup menu and
turn the internal speakers off without affecting the composite audio output jacks. See page 24.
NOTE: Lower the TV volume all the way before connecting an external amplifier and speakers.
Once the amplifier and speakers are connected and turned on, raise the TV volume slowly and
adjust the amplifier volume as necessary.
External Monitor
To use an external monitor with your set, connect the composite video output to the composite
video input of the external monitor. If the monitor has audio capabilities, connect the composite
audio output jacks of the TV to the composite audio input jacks of the monitor.
Pillow Speakers
Before connecting the pillow speaker to the set, you must plug the set in and enter the setup menu to
set the set for the proper type of pillow speaker you are going to use. See Page 29. To connect the
TV for pillow speaker control you will need a jumper with either a ¼” phone plug or a 6-Pin
Amphenol plug on the TV end. The other end should match your wall jack. See page 32.
For three button analog pillow speakers use the 6-Pin Amphenol jack only.
For Zenith, Philips, RCA and one button analog type digital pillow speakers, use either jack.
NOTE: Zenith, RCA and Philips type pillow speakers refers to the digital code the pillow
speakers send to the TV, not the manufacturer of the pillow speaker.
Third Party Controllers
Connect third party controllers to the RJ-11 communications port.
Software Updates
Connect an RS-232 port on a PC or laptop to the RS-232 port on the TV to update the TV operating
software. Your vendor will supply the necessary hardware, software and files to update the
software.
The pillow speaker interface software can be updated using the RJ-11 communication port along
with a special programmer and PC. Contact your vendor for details.
