Picture has shadows or “ghosts”
■ Press the Auto button to automatically adjust the monitor image to the
ideal settings.
■ Remove any extension cables or switchboxes.
■ Make sure that the video cable is connected securely to the back of the
monitor and your computer. For more information about connecting the
video cable, see “Connecting the monitor” on page 2.
■ Make sure that the video cable is not damaged.
■ Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed
in.
Color is not uniform
■ Press the Auto button to automatically adjust the monitor image to the
ideal settings.
■ Make sure that the monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before
making a final judgment about color uniformity or brightness.
Image is not sized or centered correctly
■ Press the Auto button to automatically adjust the monitor image to the
ideal settings.
■ Use the position controls to adjust the image. For instructions on how to
adjust the monitor image position, see “Adjusting monitor settings” on
page 12.
The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too bright
■ This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in
active-matrix LCD screens. eMachine’s inspection standards keep these to
a minimum. If you feel these pixels are unacceptably numerous or dense
on your monitor, contact eMachines Customer Care to identify whether a
repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.
Speaker bar does not work
I installed the speaker bar, but no sound is coming out of the speakers.
■ Make sure that the speaker bar power cord is plugged into a USB port on
the back of your computer or on the USB stand.
■ Make sure that the volume control knob on the front of the speaker bar
is turned on. Turn the knob clockwise to turn on the speakers and increase
the volume. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease the volume and
turn off the speakers. The speaker bar’s power indicator lights blue when
power is connected and the speakers are turned on.
