Care and cleaning information
• Always turn off the display by pressing the power button before cleaning.
• Do NOT use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp well wrung-out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft  cloth and lightly wipe the display.
• If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish -washing detergent diluted with water on a 
separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe over again with a clean 
dry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.
• Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a few non- active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed po int of colour. Please note that this does not 
affect the performance of your  product as it is usually not visible at normal viewing 
distances.
• If the display is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when you’re going  away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. You 
should also consider removing the batteries  from the remote control (as they may leak).

Introduction
This booklet is divided into two sections: the Quick Start Guide; and the User’s Manual. 
For details of the Quick Start Guide, see  1. Please read these instructions on page 2 . 
This is section 2, the Users Manual which describes how to customise the display settings so that 
you can gain the best viewing experience possible to suit your preferences and viewing 
environment. This section details the features  and functions of the display and the remote 
control, describes how to connect to other devi ces, and provides product specifications and 
troubleshooting information for your further assistance.
What do I connect?
This LCD display is a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital display device. It has a built-in 
analog TV tuner which can be used to view standard definition analog television (TV or ATV), 
cable television (CATV), or radio frequency (RF) modulated video through its coaxial TV 
Antenna input socket.
However, the high quality of a widescreen LCD  display isn’t realized through analog TV. The 
highest possible quality display is only possible  from high definition digital video sources like 
High Definition TV (HDTV), High Definition DVD (HVD). 
Input options
This display supports the simultaneous connection of several different types of TV, Video and 
Graphic sources, and permits you to select whic hever one of the available sources you wish to 
view at any time. You use the  Input button on the remote control or the display to cycle 
through and select an input source.
There are multiple sockets on the rear and side  of the display for TV, Video, and Graphic inputs.
• Analog TV source input includes:  1 x Coaxial analog TV Antenna (BNL)
• Video source inputs include:  2 x S-Video, 2 x Composite Video, and 2 x SCART.
• Graphic source inputs include:  2 x Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr) or (Y/Cb/Cr), 1 x HDMI/
DVI, and 1 x PC D-Sub.
You should connect whichever TV, Video or Graphic sources you wish to view on the display. 
You need not connect more than one if that one is all you wish to view.
Connecting analog TV source inputs
The TV Antenna input is the only input which can make use of the built-in TV tuner and enable 
this display to be referred to as a TV. You can connect an external VHF or UHF TV antenna (if 
available) to the TV Antenna input using an appropriate TV coaxial cable, and select the  ATV 
input to view analog TV broadcasts. See  4. Connect the antenna cable on page 4 .
If you have cable TV, you can connect your cable TV decoder box to the TV Antenna input using 
an appropriate TV coaxial cable, and select the  ATV input to view cable TV.
Connecting Composite (AV) source inputs
You can connect an external analog video device (if available—VCR, VCD or DVD) to either of 
the Composite Video (AV or SCART)  or S-Video inputs, and select AV1, AV2  (for SCART 
input),  AV3, AV4  (for AV input),  AV3-S, AV4-S  (for S-Video input) or  AV2-S (for S-Video 
via SCART input) as the input source respectively to view analog video. See  Connecting the 
Composite Video input on page 22 , Connecting the SCART inputs on page 21  or 
Connecting the S-Video input on page 22 . If the video source device supports it, you could 
alternatively connect it using the Component inputs for the best possible resolution picture.
Connecting Component Video source inputs
You can connect Component Video inputs such as an external digital TV (DTV) tuner to either 
of the Component Video inputs, and select the  Component 1 or Component 2  input 
respectively to view DTV broadcasts. See  Connecting the Component Video input on page 23 .
