English - Commodore 1802 Bedienungsanleitung

Introducing your monitor
Please read this brief guide carefully before you try to use your monitor.
This manual shows you how to connect the monitor and use it in various
operating modes. It also explains the picture controls and gives instruc-
tions for the installation, use and service of the 1802.
The Commodore 1802 is a full-color monitor with monochrome mode
meaning it can display computer output in 40-column screen width. Some
computers, like the Commodore 64, display screen output in a 40-column
format. You can select the operating mode you want with the flick of a
switch. The switch setting depends on the computer you have hooked up
to the 1802 monitor.
The 1802 can be used in three operating modes: The three 40-column
modes are composite, separated and monochrome on a gneen ground
screen. The following chart shows recommended operating modes by
computer model. Depending on your computer, you'll find that certain
operating modes give better displays while others may not even produce
a picture.

To connect the cable, follow these instructions.
1. Plug the rounded end with eight PINS inside (the larger end of the
cable) into the VIDEO connector port on your computer. Make sure the
small dent on the metal end of the cable that you plug into the computer
is facing up, and push the cable end firmly in. See your computer's user
manual if you don't know where this connector is.
2. Connect the three plugs of the cable into the three jacks on the back of
the monitor. The plugs and jacks are colour coded:
• the white plug connects to the AUDIO II jack (white).
• the yellow plug connects to the LUMA jack (yellow).
• the red plug connects to the CHROMA jack (red).
3. Set the video mode switch to SEP (for separated luma and chroma) for
a sharp color 40-column picture display.
