Computer

RGB PC cable

Conversion adapter (if necessary)

Audio cable for PC-to-TV connection

Connect a PC cable from the computer to the o RGB/PC terminal on the back of the TV.

The following signals can be displayed:

VGA: VESA 640 5 480 @ 60/75 Hz

SVGA: VESA 800 5 600 @ 60/75 Hz

XGA: VESA 1024 5 768 @ 60/70/75 Hz

S-XGA: VESA 1280 5 1024 @ 60 Hz (Compressed)

However, these signal formats are converted to match the number of pixels of the LCD panel. Therefore, the TV may not display small text properly.

If you connect this unit to your PC, the compressed image is displayed in S-XGA mode, therefore the picture quality may deteriorate and characters may not be read.

Notes:

Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.

If connecting a certain PC model that signal is particular, the PC signal may not be detected correctly.

There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible mini D-sub 15 pin terminal.

A bar may appear in the upper, lower, right or left side of the screen, or parts of the picture may be obscured depending on some signals. This is not the malfunction.

If the edges of the picture are stretched, readjust the picture position adjustments in the PC Setting menu.

Depending on the specification of the PC you are playing the DVD-Video on, and the DVD’s title, some scenes may be skipped, or you may not be able to pause during multi-angle scenes.
