Why You Should Use the Autotuning Feature
The autotuning feature tunes the monitor to the correct Video Input Channel for different components you have
connected to your monitor (like a VCR, DVD Player, etc.). The Video Input Channel corresponds to the input jacks you
used to connect a component to the montior. When you set up autotuning in the menu system you don’t have to
remember to change your monitor to VID1, for example, when you want to watch the tape in your VCR.
How to Set Up the Autotuning Feature
The way you set up the autotuning feature in the monitor’s menu
corresponds to the component buttons on the remote and the way you
have each component connected to your monitor. When you set up
auto tuning, you’re telling the monitor which Video Input Channel to
tune to when you press the VCR or DVD button on the remote control.
