Question about Matrix HANNSFREE 19 Analog and Digital Widescreen Active TFT LCD Display HW-191D Monitor
Things changed after hooking up monitor. Game shuts down completely when certain "moves" are used. This did not happen before new monitor was hooked up. In fact, I was using game with best sound in order to decide if I wanted to use monitor speakers. (no) Game worked yesterday. Monitor is only change. While troubleshooting, I found monitor was on Analog mode. That doesn't sound right. I tried to switch to Digital mode and got nowhere. I found no valid way switch to Digital. I'm not even sure that's the problem. I used the buttons on the front of the monitor to try to solve this then went into troubleshooting programs. Couldn't find a HannsG troubleshooter. By the way, I don't have a widescreen. HannsG JC199D is what I have. Square flatscreen. The directions given by HannsG are choppy and seem to be a translation. (someone did not a grip on their prepostions) My depth of knowledge of computers is a mixed bag.
To move to Digital (you need to have a DVI cable for this)
I'm using the monitor now and typing these instructions Mine is a HW191D Silver:
Button Layout:
(1) Menu
(2) Auto Adjust (does nothing when in digital mode)
(3) Move up in menus
(4) Move down in menus
(5) Power
Press the Top (1) button to display the OSD Main Menu
The Press the button Next to the Bottom (4) twice (Input Setting should be highlighted)
Press the Top button (1) once to allow you to select between Analog and Digital (use the button next to the bottom (4) to select between the two)
Press the Top button (1) and it will change to the input that you selected.
If you selected Digital and you don't have a DVI cable connected, the display will go black and then return to Analog (VGA)
(1)(4)(4)(1)(4)(1)
I hope that helps

--- Be advised that the engagement of any device in a Tape Monitor loop on a late-model Audio/Video Receiver will effectively tie the receiver down to stereo-only analog sound reproduction. I'll explain.
The connections themselves are fairly simple but it pays to understand what happens in the loop.
In general, any Line-Level external processor (EQ, dynamic range expander, etc) will go into a Tape Monitor loop on a receiver. A Tape Monitor, when engaged, sends the stereo analog signal Out to the Processor, massages it and returns it to the receiver via the Tape Monitor IN connectors to be passed on to the receiver's internal processes (volume, tone, whatever).
Old school analog stereo-only receivers consistently work this way. Newer digital and audio/video receivers introduce a couple of problems: 1) digital sound processing to simulate a variety of soundfields; 2) multiple output channels, either discrete or digitally-generated.
The latter requires that whatever signal is being processed experiences a maximum of one analog-digital-analog conversion.
EVERYTHING analog coming into the modern digital receiver is automatically converted to a digital signal for internal processing unless you choose a STEREO-only or STEREO-Direct setting. Consequently, no further external analog-digital conversions would be allowed if, say, a Tape Monitor circuit was activated, and a possible feedback loop could otherwise be created in a digital-sourced selection (output to its own input), so the unit is wired to treat the Tape Monitor as the first analog step in the process and defeats any pure digital sources.
In a multichannel unit, what would happen to the other channels if you sent ONLY the Front Left & Right out for processing? The rest would NOT be processed. That logical problem also plays into the decision to defeat digital sources if the Tape Monitor is activated. I don't totally agree with the engineers but that's the way it is. Nature of the digital beast. --

If you wanted to Equalize a single external analog source you would have to connect the EQ Line output to either of the two analog inputs ("DVD" or "Video" in your case) and connect your external source to the Playback jacks on the EQ.
The following is some boilerplate I made up that should explain some usage limitations.

Okay, back to the hook-up:
You have to select any available 'tape loop' containing an overrideable analog 2-channel Out and In. That would be MD Tape, CD-R, VCR1 or DVR/VCR2 in your case.
Receiver Tape Out (Rec) - to the External Processor (EQ, whatever) Preamp-, Rec, Line-In;
Receiver Tape In (Play) - from the External Processor (EQ, whatever) Preamp-, Play , Line-Out.
So, to sum up, you can only use the EQ or any outboard processor for analog stereo sources. If you actually want to use an analog recording deck you could place it within the typical Equalizer
