Setting up Your Display

Connecting the Antenna

Connecting CATV

Your DV3250 LCD Display has an internal 75 ohm coaxial cable connector, so antennal hook-up is very easy. When connecting a 75-ohm coaxial cable, secure it firmly to the antenna connector. Some cable TV companies provide "pay per view" programming. Since the signal for these paid channels is encoded, most cable TV companies provide their own tuners/ decoders. You must install a tuner/ decoder to be able to view locked encoded programming. If you require special instructions on how to install cable service, please contact your cable TV provider. The tuner/ decoder provided by your cable TV company can be used according to the following instructions.

You must have an RF switch with two inputs (A and B).

    OUT_B --> A

    Two_set --> Cable_TV
    Cable_TV --> Cable_TVref[" Cable TV"]
    Cable_TVref --> Cable_TVref[" Cable TV converter/descrambler (not supplied) "]

The "A" input on the RF switch allows you to use the display's Channel▼/▲ buttons to view unlocked channels. The "B" input on the RF switch allows you to use the channel selection button on your cable box to view locked encoded programming via the tuner/decoder.

Antenna

The antenna equipment has far more effect on reception for color TVs than on black and white models. We suggest you use a good-quality outdoor antenna. Following are simple explanations for the connection of various types of antennas.

1. Generally speaking, 75 ohm systems have a round cable with a BNL connector which requires no tools. Attach the cable directly to the input.

2. 300 ohm systems have a flat "dual lead" type cable. A 300-75 ohm transformer may be used to attach the antenna to a 75 ohm input.

Installation of an Outdoor Antenna

For best reception it is recommended that an Outdoor antenna be used.

A: Use a combination VHF/UHF outdoor antenna.

B: Use separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

Connect the lead from the outdoor antenna to the antenna input on the rear of the display.

Connecting Audio and Video Signal Sources

• Before connecting any component, please familiarise yourself with the location and type of each input.
• If incorrect connections are made, picture or colour quality may be adversely affected. Please ensure that all connectors are firmly seated.
• Before connecting, turn off the power to the external devices for safety.

Connecting Composite (AV) Video Signal (RCA)

Connect the Composite (AV) output of your AV equipment to the Composite (AV3) signal terminal on the display using a Composite (AV) video cable (RCA connector) as illustrated.

Composite video input is the most commonly used signal input. However, this type of input also provides a less optimal image quality. Many video sources can only output Composite video signals, for example, VCRs and camcorders. Other video sources, such as laser disc players, actually produce slightly better results when using Composite video.

Connecting Composite (AV) Video Signal (SCART)

Connect the AV1 or AV2 (SCART) input terminal on the TV to the SCART terminal on the AV equipment using a SCART cable.

Connecting S-Video Signals

1. Connect the S-Video output of your AV equipment to the display's S-VIDEO terminal using an S-Video cable. Pay attention to the direction of the connector on the S-Video cable when inserting.
2. Connect the audio output of your AV equipment to the display's S-VIDEO AUDIO L/R input terminals using the AV cable or equivalent.

An S-video signal provides a higher quality image to that of Composite video. It is recommended to use this input whenever possible. If your AV equipment provides a component video output (YPBPR or YCBCR), this should be used in preference to either composite or S-video signals.

Connecting Component Video Signals

1. Connect the Component video output of your AV equipment to the display's COMPONENT Y CB/PB CR/PR terminals using a Component video cable.

2. Connect the audio output of your AV equipment to the display's COMPONENT AUDIO L/R input terminals using the AV cable or equivalent.

3. Of the currently available video signal types, Component video input offers the best quality. Component video output is available on progressive scan DVD players and Digital television decoders. The image quality with this type of input is superior to that obtained with S-video. All High Definition Television signals must go through this input.

4. DV3250 supports 480i / 480p /576p/ 720p / 1080i HDTV signals provided by high definition AV equipment such as a HDTV decoder.

5. Ensure the connector colors match, failure to connect the colors of the cables to the corresponding colored terminals will result in a incorrectly colour image or badly distorted image.

Connecting RGB Signals (Mini D-SUB)

1. Connect the analog video output of your PC to the PC D-SUB terminal on the display using a Mini D-SUB 15-pin cable.

2. Connect the audio output of your PC to the display's PC AUDIO input terminal using an appropriate cable.

3. If the signal resolution is greater than the default resolution, the screen may be unable to display image details clearly.

4. You will need a converter to connect a Macintosh computer video to the display using a PC D-SUB 15-pin cable.

5. Certain PC models cannot be connected to the display.
6. The computer in the illustration is shown only for reference; your equipment may vary.
7. Additional equipment shown in the illustration is not provided.
8. Do not set the computer's horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies less than or greater than the frequency range of the display. (refer to "Supported Modes" on page 40)
9. If you require more information on how to connect your equipment, please refer to the manual for the piece of equipment you wish to attach.

Connecting DVI/HDCP Signals

1. Connect the digital video output of your PC to the DVI-HDCP terminal on the display using a DVI-D cable.
2. Connect the audio output of your PC to the display's DVI AUDIO L/R input terminals using the AV cable or equivalent.

Connecting Audio Output Signals

DV3250 provides extra audio output terminals for delivering audio signal to an amplifier or other audio devices.

Connect the AUDIO OUT L/R terminals on the display to the signal input terminals of an amplifier or other audio devices using the AV cable or equivalent.

Connecting the Power Cord

1. Connect the female end of the AC power cord to the AC input on the display.
2. As shown in the diagram, connect the male end to a wall power outlet.

- The figure above shows the power cord connection. The shape of the physical power cord plug and socket will differ depending on the location where you purchased the display.
