This is a display device or monitor only. It lacks a tuner, so there is no way to connect an antenna and tune off air TV channels - and as such; fails the definition of a TV. A TV by very definition is a monitor AND a tuner.
Without the optional "RTB421 RCA Terminal Board" installed in the monitor, it can only accept a PC Input signal (VGA). If the RTB421 is installed, you will be able to choose from PC, Video, S-Video and RGB signals. The full details on this RTB421 Terminal Board and how to connect source video devices for playback is explained on pages 32 through 35 of the
manual.
If the RTB421 is installed, and connected to a source video device (Cable TV converter, Satellite Tuner, Blu Ray player, DVD, VCR, etc.) as shown in the manual, you should be able to scroll through the inputs by pressing the
Input button on the monitor or remote (make sure the batteries are fresh). Keep the lower left bezel of the monitor clear of obstructions that can block the infrared (IR) remote receiver window.
I hope this helps and good luck! Please rate my reply - thank you.
