Connection To Display Unit - Sharp MZ-700 Series Owner's Manual

3.2 Connection to Display Unit
Be sure to turn off both the computer and display unit before connecting them.
3.2.1 Connecting a TV set to the MZ-700
Disconnect the antenna feeder from the UHF antenna terminals of the TV set. Plug the connection
cable provided into the R F signal output jack on the rear panel of the computer and connect the pin plugs
on the cable's other end to the 75-ohm UHF antenna terminals on the TV set.

Set the channel selection switch to the 36 ± 3 ch position, depending on which is not used in your area.
Note the following when using an ordinary TV set as a display unit.
• Adjust controls (fine tuning, color control, etc.) of the TV set to optimum conditions before con-
necting it to the computer.
• Note that color and quality of displayed images will be poorer with a TV set than when a special
color monitor unit is used. Further, note that images may be painted with the wrong colors or may
not be colored if the TV set is not properly adjusted.
• Part of the screen may be omitted if vertical and horizontal scanning frequencies of the TV set do
not match those of the computer. This is not a problem with the computer; contact your TV dealer.
• Part of the screen may not be visible if the image is not centered.
• Be sure to remove the antenna feeder from the TV set before connecting it to the computer; other-
wise, the signal from the computer will radiate from the TV antenna, possibly interfering with other
TV sets.
• Be sure to connect the computer to the 75-ohm antenna terminals of the TV set. If the cable pro-
vided cannot be used, be sure to use a 75-ohm coaxial cable.
• Characters may be hard to read with certain combinations of foreground and background colors.
In such cases, switch the B/W-color switch to the B/W position to obtain higher contrast. The best
combination of the foreground and background colors is white for the foreground and black or
blue for the background.
• No audio signal is included in the RF signal fed to the TV set, so sound cannot be output from the
speaker of the TV set.
