Connecting Monitors and Projectors
If you have a set-top or component system, you need to connect a monitor to
the system to see the people at the far site. Refer to your system’s setup sheet
for connection details.
Connecting Monitors to Set-Top Systems
If you have a VSX 5000 or VSX 7000s system, you can use a VGA monitor
instead of a TV monitor.
You can add the optional components described in the following sections.
Additional TV Monitor
The set-top systems provide a second S-Video output for a TV monitor. If you
have a VSX 6000 or VSX 7000 system, you need an additional display adapter
to connect a second monitor.
Because of their screen resolution, TV monitors are best for showing people
and for playing recorded material from VCR or DVD players.
VGA Monitor or Projector
The set-top systems provide a VGA output for a computer monitor or
projector. If you have a VSX 6000 or VSX 7000 system, you need an additional
display adapter to connect a VGA monitor or projector.
Because of their screen resolution, VGA monitors and projectors are best for
showing content from computers.
Connecting Monitors to Component Systems
You can connect either a TV monitor or a VGA monitor to your VSX system.
The component systems provide S-video connections for the main TV monitor.
On the VSX 8000 system, the main monitor uses BNC connectors.
You can add the optional components described in the following sections.
Additional TV Monitor
The component systems provide a second S-Video output for a TV monitor.
This uses a standard mini-DIN connector.
VGA Monitor or Projector
The component systems provide a VGA output for a computer monitor or
projector.
