Before connecting
- Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
- Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
- Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
- When connecting a cable to the unit or a device connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the unit or to the unit body. The longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
- When connecting cables, insert them straight into the connecting terminal of the connecting device so that the ground is connected first.
- Acquire any cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied with the device nor available as an option.
- If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is large, it may come in contact with the periphery such as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug size for the terminal alignment.
- When connecting the LAN cable with plug cover, be aware that the cover may come in contact with the back cover and it may be difficult to disconnect.
- If video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
- When the sync signals output from PC or video equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing settings of video output, the colour of the video may be disturbed temporarily.
- The unit accepts Composite video signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals (PC IN), analogue RGB signals (PC IN) and digital signals.
• Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.
- Use cable compensator when you connect devices to the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
- Refer to "Preset Signals" (see page 121) for the types of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.

Sets the delay time (sec.).
Switches the input when the set time has elapsed after detecting no signal is present.
However, if the detection period during which no signal is present is shorter than the set delay time, the input is not switched.
Note
- When set to the USB input, the unit determines no signal is present if the USB memory is not connected to the USB terminal.
In addition, even when a USB memory is connected, if there is no playable file, the unit determines no signal is present.
- This menu will be greyed out and cannot be set under the following conditions.
- [Input lock] is not set to [Off]. (see page 72)
- When [Setup] - [Image settings] - [No signal image settings] - [Display setting] is set to [On]. (see page 54)
- If the input is changed by this function, the last input is selected when the power is turned on next time.
If you wish to retain the original input when the power is turned on, set [Initial input] to the original input. (see page 72)
- [Input detection] is the function that automatically switches the input as below by monitoring the presence of signal for the set input.
- If a video signal is input to the set input that is not displayed (When the status has changed from signal absent to signal present.), the input is selected and switched.
- If no signal is detected for the displayed input, the setting switches to the set input to which a signal is input. Also, if no signal is present for the displayed input when the power is turned on or when the input is switched, the setting switches to the set input to which a signal is input. When signals are input to multiple set inputs, the priority order as default (immediately after power-on) is as follows:
[HDMI1], [HDMI2], [DIGITAL LINK], [DVI-D], [PC] In the other case (When the input is switched after power-on), the input displayed last takes priority.
- [Changing delay] is the function to prevent the accidental input switch during a short period, such as when the signal is interrupted due to the frequency change for the input signal while [Input detection] is operating.
If a signal is detected again within the set period (sec.), the input is not switched.
- [Input detection] may not operate correctly depending on the image playback device.
