Is the power cord to connect the 2 monitors part of the three colored av cable? We can't get the second monitor to power up when connecting them.

Yes!!! I did the same thing! Reverse the cord, meaning pug the cord in to the opposite monitor. The fourth pug is for the power and it only works one way.

No, there is a separate power cord that plugs into the main DVD player. The three colored AV cable is to connect the 2 monitors. Hope this helps! Good luck!

You should have one power cord from the cigarette plug to the unit that does not have the DVD player. Then the AV cords (red,yellow,white) plus a short power cable hook between the two monitors in the yellow slot.

We had the same issue, first you need to plug the power cord into just the monitor then plug into the DVD player monitor. It is backorders from ones we have had in the past.

The three wire cable connects the two monitors. Both have power switches that need to be turned on.

the equipment come with the power cord that connects from the car outlet to the main TV and the secondary screen are connected by the color cord like the one's you use from TV to DVD , etc... Meaning the two TV are connected by one cord and from the main TV goes the power to the car outlet, I do not know if this will answer your question, but you will have to make sure not to miss matched them, but surely both works.

Just checked the manual. Your monitors have to be powered. The mains are powered through the controller but the monitors are not. Hope that helps.

No, the cable doesn't supply a "power on" signal to the monitor to tell the monitor to turn on.

I'm sorry to say I had the same issue with 1 of 2 monitors I purchased. I don't believe it's a powersupply issue b/c I swapped powersupplies and the issue still occurred. I had to RMA my bad monitor. I will say though, if you get one that works, they're really quite nice.

I had plugged this in and it did power up my monitor/tv. I am not sure if it is the same monitor you have though as I left the monitor behind when I moved and can not remember what I had bought it for..

no, it doesn't come with a power cable or a connecter(HDMI, VGA, DVI) for your monitor.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

I had the same problem and it is the result of plugging more than one source of output at the same time. In other words, if you want to use your TV, you have to disconnect your monitor and just use one at a time. The same goes for the cables, only one cable plugged to the device at a time. I hope that helps you.

I only have connect one tv and the monitor but i think you can connect 3 things cuz it has 3 outputs...

I have two external monitors connected; one via a DVI/DVI cable and the other via a DVI/HDMI cable. I have a convertor piece that I think may have come with it, but it looks like VGA to DVI. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Hmm. Not entirely sure on that. I did have it on my monitor and HDTV through the HDMI at the same time so i wouldn't see why a third monitor wouldn't work. But not 100% sure on that.

Did you connect the monitor to the outlet with the rubber cover? If so it wont work. Near the bottom you will find two outlets, one is for a VGA monitor and the other is an HDMI connector. Either of these should work. I did have problems with my K430, even sent it back to the company for repair within four months of ownership. Since I got it back I have added a few things to it, so I now have three monitors hooked up and added another 4 Gig RAM board plus another 1.5 TB hard drive. It works great now with all of the extra toys. Good luck!!!

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

Mine didn't, it is plugged into the monitor which provides the power. It's perfect for my setup. I think there's another version of this out there somewhere which has the power supply though, I am pretty sure I saw it when I was shopping for this.

Yes, each monitor has it's own independent power cord. To connect them to my computer without a interface I purchased a splitter similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Seismic-Audio-Stereo-Splitter-Patch/dp/B0072JJYDQ/ref=sr_1_51?ie=UTF8&qid=1419619986&sr=8-51&keywords=trs+splitter. Works great. I hope this helps.

Does the monitor work? Are you connecting it were another monitor was already connected? Already mentioned but is the monitor set to the right port? If you have more then just a new monitor you need to eliminate everything that is different in your new setup. Have you used the display port before? Is this a new cable? You already said the monitor was new.
