Selecting a Location for the Monitor Place the monitor on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where light does not directly hit the screen. Place the monitor far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage the monitor. Caution: Be careful when using the back stand; in some angles, the monitor may fall over to the front. When using the back stand, be careful not to catch your fingers between the folding stand. It may cause you unnecessary injury. Connecting the Monitor If you don t have previous experience with electronic equipment connection, read this section completely before continuing with the installation. Note: Cables are not supplied; they are mentioned just for reference. Audio cables are usually color coded according to use: red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel and the white audio cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. The terminals on the rear panel of the monitor are color coded in the same manner as the cables. S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components. BNC cables provide better connection and picture performance. Audio Cable S-Video BNC Connector NOTE: To prevent equipment damage, do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all equipment. 6 XX171-00-00 Rev 1105 VM617/VM619 Flat Monitors
