grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-

ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-

trode.

Using the Remote Control

Installing Batteries

• Open the battery compartment cover on the back

of the remote control and insert the batteries with

correct polarity, match “+” with “+”, and match “-”

with “-”.

• Install two 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries.

Don’t mix used batteries with new batteries.

Notes for Using the Remote Control

Make sure these are no

objects between the

remote control and its

sensor.

Don’t place the remote control

near a heater or damp place. A

hard impact to the remote control

may cause operation failure.

Signal from the remote control

may be disturbed by sun light or

other strong light. In this case,

turn the set to a different direc-

tion, or dim the room light.

VCR Setup

Tip

• To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance (20 inches or more)

between the VCR and monitor.

S-VIDEO

OUT

(R) AUDIO (L) VIDEO

Back Panel of VCR

- As shown below, when connecting the Monitor to a VCR, match the colors of AV input

jacks on the Monitor with the output jacks on the VCR: Video = yellow, Audio (Left) =

white, Audio (Right) = red.

- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/MONO)

input on the LCD Monitor.

- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved,

compared to connecting a regular VCR to the Video input.

- Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. A frozen still

picture from a VCR (e.g. a Channel label) displayed on the screen for prolonged periods of

time will result in a ghost image remaining even after you change the image. Avoid pro-

longed display of any still image.
