RS232 Port Specifications

PC control of the TV

•Attach an RS-232C cable cross-type (commercially available) to the supplied Din/D-Sub RS-232C for the connections.

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

Communication conditions

Set the RS-232C communication settings on the PC to match the TV's communication conditions.

The TV's communication settings are as follows:
