Connecting to a Cisco Digital Media Player

To learn how to connect your LCD display to a Cisco Digital Media Player (DMP) endpoint, see the quick start guide that shipped with your DMP. Alternatively, see the most recent revision of that guide on Cisco.com: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7220/prod_installation_guides_list.html.


Note When a Cisco DMP (or any other source) is connected to the HDMI video input of the LCD display, no audio will be heard when connecting to the RCA composite output jacks. Audio will only be heard when connecting to the "Speaker" output terminals. If an analog composite audio output is needed, use the 2.5" mini-jack to RCA audio cable (included with all Cisco DMPs) to connect to the "Audio Out" on the back of the DMP. The SPDIF audio output can also be used as an alternate option.


Connecting to an Analog Audio Source

For detailed information about connecting input devices, see Chapter 4 "Adjusting Display Settings."

Procedure


Step 1 Connect the A/V device to the [R-AUDIO-L] terminal on your LCD display.

Step 2 Start the A/V device with its media inserted.

Step 3 From the Source menu on your LCD display, choose AV.
