Connecting An Rgbi Monitor; Connecting A Dual Monitor - Commodore 128 Introductory Manual

Connecting an RGBI monitor
An RGBI monitor provides an 80
column color or monochrome
display. A special 80 column
monitor is used because the
picture on most TV sets and
composite monitors does not
have the sharpness or resoluti on
needed to handle an 80 column
display. Plug the RGBI monitor
into the 9 pin RGBI Socket on
the rear of the computer and
tighten the two screws on the
plug to secure it.
Connecting a dual monitor
A dual monitor, such as the
Commodore 1901 , provides both
40 and 80 column displays. It is
supplied with two cables one of
which is plugged into the Video
Socket and the other into the
RGBI Socket. Both of these
sockets are on the rear of the
computer. When you have
inserted the D plug into the
RGBI Socket, tighten the screws
on that plug to secure it.
Note that you can connect a composite monitor and an RGBI monitor to
the Commodore 128 at the same time. This allows you to switch between
40 and 80 column displays.
