» Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your plasma monitor will enable you to display your computer’s

screen image for an impressive presentation. The plasma monitor supports the signals described on page 61.

To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and computer.

2. If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/

VGA graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA conﬁguration.

If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation

instructions.

3. This plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up to VESA 1600 x 1200 (UXGA). However, it is not

recommended to use this resolution due to image readability on the monitor’s native pixel resolution panel.

4. Use the signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the plasma monitor. For Macintosh, use the

monitor adapter to connect to your computer’s video port, if necessary.

5. Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.

6. If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the

computer you’ve connected to the plasma monitor.

When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the following four display standards are supported using

the Macintosh adapter: (1) 13” fixed mode; (2) 16” fixed mode; (3) 19” fixed mode; (4) 21” fixed mode

The 13” fixed mode is recommended for your 42” Wide VGA.

» Connecting Your VCR or Laser Disc Player:

Use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect your VCR or laser disc player to your plasma monitor.

To make these connections, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and VCR or laser disc player.

2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc

player, connect the other end to the Video input on your plasma monitor. Use standard RCA audio patch cords

to connect the audio from your VCR or laser disc player to your plasma monitor (if your VCR or laser disc player

has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.

3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the VCR or laser disc player.

Note:

Refer to your VCR or laser disc player owner’s manual for more information about your equipment’s video

output requirements.

» Connecting Your DVD Player:

You can connect your plasma monitor to a DVD player. To do so, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and DVD player.

2. Use a component video cable to connect your DVD player to the Y, Cb, and Cr inputs on your plasma

monitor. Or use the DVD-player’s S-Video output. Use a standard S-Video cable to connect to the S-Video input

on the plasma monitor.

3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the DVD player.
