Connections and Setup
Explanation of Jacks
This section describes the jacks and cables you might use to make connections. There are
several ways to connect components to your monitor.
Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It's important to remember
the different degrees of picture improvement for comparison. The component jacks (Y, Pb, Pr)
are considered excellent; and S-Video and composite jacks are considered very good.
Note: The illustration below shows how your monitor's jacks are labeled and where they
are located. The jacks might vary slightly depending on your model.

S-VIDEO In The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than the
regular video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal
is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.
If a component you're connecting to your monitor (like a DVD player) has an S-VIDEO
jack and composite video, connect the DVD player to the monitor with an S-Video cable
(not provided) for better quality picture.
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables to the Audio In jacks because
the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.
•
AUDIO In L Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is usually white.
•
AUDIO In R Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is usually red.
Note: If your component has only one output for audio (mono), connect it to the left
(white) audio jack on the monitor and don't connect the right (red) audio part of the
cable.
VIDEO In Provides composite video connection. The video connector is usually yellow.

•
SUBWOOFER Provides a connection for your subwoofer for improved bass effects.
