  | the connection and display the New Device Found  | |
  | screen.  | 
  | 
4.  | In the New Device Found screen, press  | to  | 
  | highlight PC in the list of device types. It is impor-  | |
  | tant to use the name PC so that the TV processes  | |
  | the video signal correctly.  | 
  | 
5.  | Press BACK to close the New Device Found screen.  | |
Note: If your computer provides digital audio out- put (coaxial or optical), you can connect it directly to a digital A/V receiver and bypass the TV.
A DVI connection from a personal computer requires a separate audio connection. A computer connected to the TV main connector panel is shown above.
