Subject: LCD TV/Monitor

Question- The volume control on my PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor seems very sensitive. If I turn the volume up a little, it gets very loud.

Answer- The source (cable or satellite box) may have a volume control that is set to a high level. If so, turn the volume down on the source. Another solution is to turn on the Automatic Volume Control (AVC) on the PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor.

To turn AVC ON-

1. Turn the PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor OFF using the Power button located on top of the PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor.
2. Press and hold the Volume + (volume up) button located on top of the PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor.
3. While holding the Volume + button, press and release the Power button.
4. The message "AVC ON" should now appear on the screen.
5. Release the Volume + (volume up) button.

If you would like to turn AVC OFF, repeat the process. AVC will toggle ON and OFF each time the above procedure is done.

Question- What is the best resolution to use when I am using the PowerSpec LCD TV/Monitor with my computer?

Answer- LCD monitors have a "native resolution" that looks best.
The PowerSpec 27" LCD TV/Monitor has a native resolution of 1280 X 720.
The PowerSpec 30" LCD TV/Monitor has a native resolution of 1280 X 768.

Your screen will look the best when it is set to this resolution. Use the help function of your operating system for instructions on how to change the display settings on your computer. If your display driver does not support this resolution, check for a newer display driver. The newer driver may support this resolution.
