An AC Adapter is included with each unit. Insert it into the holder located at the top, rear of the unit. Connect its DC cable to the connector labeled DC +12 and then connect the included AC cable to the AC Adapter. Connect all input cables to the unit and lastly connect the other end of the AC cable to the AC power source.

The LM-1520R and LM-1920R monitors are operated using front panel controls and an On Screen Display (OSD). The controls consist of a group of six buttons located on the lower center of the front panel. Please refer to illustration below and the discussion that follows.

AUTO MENU Power Switch: Pressing the button labeled 'POWER' will cause the LED at the extreme right of the control panel to change color from Red to Green and power will be applied to the monitor's circuitry. Pressing the button again will cause the LED to glow with a Red color and the power will be removed from the monitor's circuitry. Source Switch: Pressing the button labeled 'SOURCE' will step the inputs through all possible signal input selections. Repeatedly press the button until you arrive at the desired input. Auto Switch: Pressing the button labeled 'AUTO' will cause the monitor to optimize the picture any time a VGA source is present and selected. This function is only used when VGA video is the selected signal. Menu Switch: Pressing the 'MENU' button will cause the OSD menus to appear. When an OSD Menu is active, the two adjust buttons become the controls for selecting individual functions on the OSD and also are used to adjust functions once they are selected. Operationally, the Menu button is pressed and a menu item is selected by using the Adjust switches (arrow keys) to move a cursor until it is over the desired menu item. Once the cursor is over the menu item you want, pressing the Menu button again selects the item. The adjust buttons are then used to make an adjustment or turn a function on or off as appropriate. There are several menus to choose from but the method of accessing and changing menu items is always the same: Press the Menu button to begin the selection process, move the cursor using the adjust buttons, press the menu button again to select the desired activity or sub menu. Once you are at the desired menu item, use the adjust buttons to make the adjustment. When you are through making adjustments, press the menu key again and move the cursor to the Exit selection. Press the menu button to select 'Exit'. Adjust Switches: Adjust Switches (Adjust Buttons) are used to set the audio volume level anytime the OSD is inactive. When the Menu button is pressed, the adjust buttons function as described above.

7.1 Menu Structure

There are four sub-menus that are used to make adjustments to the monitor via the On Screen Display (OSD) should monitor performance need improvement. Pressing the Menu button begins the selection process. Move the cursor using the adjust buttons and then press the menu button to select the desired sub-menu. Once in the sub-menu, use the adjust buttons to move to the desired activity and press the Menu button again to select the individual function you wish to change. Use the adjust buttons to actually make the change. When you are through making adjustments, press the menu key again to save the adjustment. Move back to the main menu and to another sub-menu via the Adjust buttons. After a period of time determined by the OSD Timeout parameter in the System Sub-menu, the OSD display will disappear.

Therefore it can affect the picture position and size. Note: improper adjustment will cause image failure. Auto Adjust: Enables auto detection of data such as clock and phase.

8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

The major cause of difficulty with the LM-1520R and LM-1920R monitors is use of faulty or low quality cables, attempting to use cables over to long a distance and selecting the wrong source for what is actually connected to the monitor. A second problem is misadjusting the monitor through improper use of the various setup menus. Before contacting TV One's technical support personnel, please make certain that your problem is not due to one of the above issues. After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One.
