Connecting Universal Serial Bus 
(USB) compliant peripherals
Your monitor has one upstream and four downstream USB 
connectors. They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB 
compliant peripheral devices (such as keyboards, mice, printers 
and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable.
To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect 
the USBs as illustrated below.
1
Turn on the monitor and computer.
2
Connect your computer to the square upstream 
 
connector using the supplied USB cable.
For customers using Windows
If a message appears on your screen, follow the on-screen instructions 
and select Generic USB Hub as the default setting.
3
Connect your USB compliant peripheral devices to 
the rectangular downstream 
 USB connectors.
Notes
• Not all computers and /or operating systems support USB 
configurations. Check your computer’s instruction manual to see if you 
can connect USB devices.
• In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host 
computer. Refer to the peripheral device’s instruction manual for 
further details.
• The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either 
“on” or in power saving mode.
• If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then 
boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not 
function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the 
computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to 
this monitor.

Selecting the input signal
You can connect two computers to this monitor using the video 
input 1 (HD15) and video input 2 (BNC) connectors. To switch 
between the two computers, use the 
INPUT
 switch.
Move the INPUT switch.
The currently selected connector (“INPUT 1” : HD15 or 
“INPUT 2” : BNC) appears on the screen for a few seconds.
Note
If no signal is input to the selected connector, NO INPUT SIGNAL 
appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power 
saving mode. If this happens, switch to the other connector.
Automatically sizing and centering 
the picture (AUTO)
You can easily adjust the picture to fill the screen by pressing the 
ASC (auto sizing and centering) button.
Press the ASC button.
The picture automatically fills the screen.
Notes
• This function is intended for use with a computer running Windows or 
similar graphic user interface software that provides a full-screen 
picture. It may not work properly if the background color is dark or if 
the input picture does not fill the screen to the edges (such as an MS-
DOS prompt).
• The picture will fill the screen to the edges only if the aspect ratio of the 
picture is 16:10. Pictures with an aspect ratio other than 16:10 are 
displayed at their actual resolution and do not fill the screen to the 
edges.
• The displayed image moves for a few seconds while this function is 
performed. This is not a malfunction.
