I bought an E Lebao network TV box last week,The model seems to be calledX9,The effect of connecting LCD TV is good,I remembered that my monitor is also that kind of all-in-one,With HDMI interface,I took it and tried it by luck,I didn't expect it to be really good,I was a little happy!!

OK. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Use the corresponding cable to connect the various interfaces of the set-top box with the various interfaces of the TV;

Connect the set-top box to the monitor with a VGA to HDMI cable (HDMI interface to HDMI cable, VGA interface to CGA cable), connect the power cable and network cable to the set-top box in turn, and connect the power cable to the monitor, and then power on the power plug of the set-top box and the power plug of the monitor respectively. Since the monitor has no audio,So you also need to connect the audio cable of the VGA to HDMI cable to the small speaker,Then turn on the speaker,So that there will be sound when watching TV。

2. Start the set-top box and TV, turn on the monitor, and the set-top box flash will emit light, indicating that the set-top box has been started. At this point, the computer monitor will become the main interface of the set-top box.

3. After entering the main interface of the set-top box, open the back cover of the remote control and take out the small round film of the back cover.

Fourth, after the film is taken out, buckle the back cover of the remote control, and then you can use the remote control to remotely control the set-top box.

5. Connect the set-top box to the network, select the film and television on the main interface, and press the OK button of the remote control**.

Note: 1. Desktop monitors need to have VGA interfaces.

It is necessary to connect to a computer monitor with a corresponding interface.

3. At this time, if there is no problem, click the projection to the second screen to jump.

4. An icon window will appear, where you can determine the extension.

5. In this way, after getting the relevant results, you can use the set-top box to connect to the computer to watch.

1. Need: a computer monitor, a set-top box, and a VGA cable;

2. Connect one end of the white cable TV cable to the cable TV terminal box, and the other end to the signal input port behind the set-top box;

3. Insert one end of the VGA cable into the VGA port of the monitor; The other end is plugged into the VGA interface of the set-top box;

4. After the set-top box and the monitor are successfully connected, start the set-top box and the monitor;

5. The startup screen of the set-top box will appear on the monitor, indicating that the set-top box has been perfectly connected to the computer monitor.

The set-top box is output, and the graphics card of the general computer is also output, how do you look, you can use the converter head to connect directly to the display screen, if the set-top box has a component, buy a component to VGA interface, if your monitor has an S port, the set-top box also has it, you can connect it directly, so that the computer host does not need to be opened. Of course, you also need to connect the audio to the computer, and the VGA does not have audio. Generally, the display screen does not come with speakers.

To do this, you need to install a data capture card.

The viewing through the set-top box is the direct and rebroadcast programs of your local cable TV station, which basically includes the current live broadcast programs of your province, city, ** station and satellite stations in various provinces and cities across the country, and the viewing effect is better, but you have to pay a viewing fee; What you see on the computer is the program that the network can provide, and the viewing effect is unstable, especially when the computer configuration is low and the network speed is low, it is very stuck, and the advantage is that most of the programs are free.

It seems that on the computer, the time is a little delayed, and there is no other difference.
