To connect a PC to the PC IN terminal on the TV:

When connecting a PC to the PC IN terminal on the TV, use an analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable and a PC audio cable.

•To use a PC, set the monitor output resolution on the PC before connecting it to the TV. The PC IN terminal can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA and SXGA

signal formats. For detailed signal specifications ( page 58).

Other formats or non-standard signals will not be displayed correctly.

•To display the optimum picture, use the PC setting feature

( “Using the PC settings feature” on page 49).

Note:

•The PC audio input terminals on the TV are shared with the

HDMI-1 analog audio input terminals ( page 50).

•Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.

•An adapter is not needed for computers with a compatible mini D-sub15-pin terminal.
