EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT SETUP

NOTE

To enjoy vivid picture and sound, connect the PC to the TV.
Avoid keeping a fixed image on the TV's screen for prolonged periods of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on the screen; use a screen saver when possible.
Connect the PC to the RGB (PC) port of the TV; change the resolution output of PC accordingly.
There may be interference relating to resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. Change the PC mode to another resolution or change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult the manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
The synchronization input waveform for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are separate.

If the resolution of PC is over SXGA, there will be no picture on the TV.(Only HD Models)
Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio input on the TV.(Audio cables are not included with the TV).
If you use too long an RGB-PC cable, there may be interference on the screen. We recommend using under 5m of the cable. This provides the best picture quality.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

(This feature is not available for all models.)

The remote control is a multi brand or universal remote. It can be programmed to operate most remote controlled devices from other manufacturers.

Note that the remote control may not control all models from other brands.

Programming a code into a remote mode

1 Testing your remote control.
To find out whether your remote control can operate other components without programming, turn on a component such as a STB and press the corresponding mode button (such as a DVD or STB) on the remote control, while pointing at the component. Test the POWER and PP^/√ buttons to see if the component responds correctly. If the component does not operate correctly, the remote control requires programming to operate the device.
2 Switch on the component to be programmed, then press the corresponding mode button (such as a DVD or STB) on the remote control. The remote control button of the desired device is illuminated.
3 Press the MENU and MUTE buttons simultaneously, the remote control is ready to be programmed with the code.
4 Enter a code number using the number buttons on the remote control. Programming code numbers for the corresponding component can be found on the following pages. If the code is correct, the device will turn off.
5 Press the MENU button to store the code.
6 Test the remote control functions to see if the component responds correctly. If not, repeat from step 2.
