Volume on Philips Monitor

I have a Philips Monitor, a flat one. Model ID or 1D or lD (The I is just
a plain line)
190B8CB/75

I'm watching TV programs on it while the TV is getting fixed.

I've got the volume control down by the clock turned up full, but it's not
very loud.
And I turn the sound up on the TV programs themselves.

Below in front there are a row of oblong buttons. There are six as well as
the power one.
I pressed the volume button and got a little bar on the screen which shows
the volume as just over 60.

Now I thought I could put the arrow on it and drag it along. But the arrow
goes behind the bar instead of in front!

I tried the Philips website on Google that answers questions, but it is all
technical stuff and I can't find this problem.

Is there a simple way to get the volume to move up please?

geo check the other buttons usally there will be a couple of buttons for the
selection of option (contrast/brightness/ ect) and another 2 will be for
shifting the selection up and down
so press the button that got the volume bar up and then try some others (if
the volume vanishes press it again) i think you will find that at some point
you will see the bar go up or down.

Hope this helps

Geo, what Robin said. Look for oblong buttons with + and - near them, get
that volume bar on screen again, then press the + button while it's on
screen.

Best of luck!

I tried pressing the oblong buttons, but now the screen is so bright it's
hard to look at and I can't seem to get the brightness down. It made no
difference to the sound.

How do I get the brightness down again please?

 

Read the Manual...

Geo you will find that the button you pressed to get up the "volume" is
probably cyclic
that means you press it once it comes up volume press it again it comes up
brightness
press it again and it comes up contrast each of these things should be
labled on screen above or below the bare
so just keep pressing the button till it says brightness (you should see the
bar all the way over to the right)
then press the other oblong button (if there is only one then press the
other end of it )
then when that is fine press the button to cycle to the next option if that
is not volume then press it again till it is

Hope that helps Geo

Thank you.

I tried that website. There wasn't anything there "but there might be on
Adobe website". So I tried that, "some components are missing" on adobe, but
there might be a plug in. That isn't from Adobe and it seems that isn't
available either.
So I'm none the wiser. I managed to get the Brightness blue bar down to 49
by pressing - but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

There must be some simple way to reduce the Brightness. Sun glasses?

 

Its on there as I just dnloaded it and I just tested it again now yes
at first it has to load the Adobe Chinese character set, so just let it
run, as the manual is multi language, Then Save it..

 

Geo, download Foxit Reader and use that to read PDF files. It's small and
fast, a lot better for your PC than Adobe Acrobat.

The manual at that link downloaded just fine for me and opened with Foxit.
Page 61 of the rather confusing document tells you what the buttons do (but
not *exactly* how to use them, it assumes a certain level of knowledge (that
said, I haven't read the whole thing, I have to go out).

If you're still having trouble and nobody's helped you later when I check
the group I'll see if I can give you a 'walk through' of how to adjust
brightness and volume.

Best,

Hello folks, I think I have fixed the volume at last! There are up and down
arrows not + and -.
I managed to get the volume up to about 90 and it nearly blew me off the
chair when the Decorah eagles started screaming! *
I wonder why it didn't work before, probably did something daft by mistake.

So now I can just use the volume control by the clock.

I think I'm getting the brightness down in the same way, but it's hard to
tell. It doesn't seem quite as bright at around 40. Have to see how it looks
in daylight.

I wonder why they don't include using the buttons in the Quick Start Guide
that came with the monitor. It shows what they are but not how to use them.
But at least it's not in Chinese English like so many things these days.

So thanks to you all for your help.

(American time of course).
They should be leaving the nest any day now.

 

I think the volume is fixed now, I've posted what I did.
Adobe in Chinese would be a bit too much for me!

I'll hang on to that link from the manual, the leaflet I got with the
monitor isn't much help.

Thank you
Geopelia

 

I seem to have fixed the volume now, and perhaps the brightness, I sent
another post about it. As you say, the people who write the manuals assume
everybody knows about computers etc, but some of us don't!
I've had to learn as things crop up, with much appreciated help here.

Thank you
Geopelia

 

No, it has individual buttons for volume, brightness etc. I seem to have
fixed it now for volume, and I think I'll be able to get the brightness down
in the same way.

Thanks for your help.
I don't know how that email address got there, it certainly isn't mine!

ITS NOT IN CHINESE IT PARTS OF THE MANUA L ARE IN CHINEES, YOUR
COMPUTER MUST HAVE THE ADOBE CHINESE CHARACTER SET SO YOU CA SEE AND
PRINT THE MANUAL.

JUST DOWNLOAD THE MANUAL FULL STOP.

 

You need to think outside the box Geo. The English lanuage has lots of words
for many things. Good to see that you have passed that test.

It should work the same way as the sound.

Hint, because people want to plug and play *now*. Who wants to Read The Fine
Manual?

Heck, a co-worker, who is not all that old, uses the same phase.

Oh so they are birds, not musicians.

 

Yes, I tried that.

Hubby won't read the instructions for assembling things. He leaves it to me
to explain them.
But he won't even touch the computer. I send his emails.

I used to have a Japanese Honda bike. The instructions said "Avoid over
puffing".
No, it didn't have a steam engine!

I expect there is a pop group with the same name, with so many around these
days.
They scream like a bunch of teenage girls.

They are American Bald Eagles. Gorgeous birds. They were tearing up a
raccoon the other day, looked like somebody's cat! Decorah is where they
live.

I don't know if this computer has Chinese language, all Asian language spam
comes in looking like Greek characters.

I think I have fixed the problem now.
Thanks to all

So you think you are more right that me Bollocks, if you looks at the
history here trying to deal with this Person ? this person is Impossible

MY FACTS ARE 1000% CORRECT, TRY AND PROVE THAT THEY ARE NOT THEN
APLOGISE TO ME.

 

Thank you, that's nice to know!
I'm well aware how ignorant I am where computers are concerned.
