PC Control of the TV

When a program is set, the TV can be controlled from the PC using the RS-232C terminal. The input signal (PC/video) can be selected, the volume can be adjusted and various other adjustments and settings can be made, enabling automatic programmed playing. Attach an RS-232C cable cross-type (commercially available) to a 9 pin D-sub/MINI-DIN (optional: AN-A1RS) for the connections.

NOTE

•This operation system should be used by a person who is accustomed to using PCs.
