Loewe 42 HD/DR+, Spheros 42 HD Displaying PC images DVI/VGA, DDC Function Display Data Channel

Displaying PC images (DVI/VGA)

Your Spheros has a digital visual interface (DVI) with which you can show PC images on the TV screen for example.

Connecting personal computers

Connect the PC directly to the socket labeled "DVI" on the back of the Spheros signal box. The digital audio signal can be connected to the input "Digital In 1 or 2". If your PC does not have a DVI interface, please use a VGA cable and connect it to the "VGA" socket on the signal box. Connect the analogue audio output of the PC to the "AUDIO IN 2" socket.

The TV set can be connected to the following standards: VGA (640x480 @85Hz), XGA (1024x768 @85Hz), SVGA (800x600 @85Hz) or SXGA (1280x1024 @75Hz).

DDC Function (Display Data Channel)

The DDC function automatically detects graphic resolutions supported by the TV set.

If you wish to use the DDC function, first connect the PC to the TV set via the VGA or DVI socket. Boot the PC. Regardless of whether the TV set is on or off, you can select the graphic resolution (e.g. XGA 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz) in the ÓPropertiesÓ menu on the PC.

In the ”Image” menu, you can select the contrast, brightness, sharpness, picture format, colour standard (not with DVI) etc. and adjust the light ratios to your personal preferences. To display pictures, you can select the format 4:3, since most camera pictures are taken in this format.

For an optimum display and maximum picture focus of standards VGA and SVGA, you can select "Original" under "Picture format". In this case the exact format values of the graphic card must be known and set in the menu "VGA geometry".

In the ÓSoundÓ menu, you can set the volume of the loudspeakers or headphones, or select the tone for two-tone playback.
