Connecting a PC to the Display

Figure 1. A 15 pin PC monitor cable and an audio video cable is required. These are not included with the TV.

To connect a PC to the display (audio and video), do the following:

1.Connect a VGA video cable (purchased separately) from the PC to the VGA port on the rear panel of the display. Refer to the Supported PC Timings table on page 85.

2.Connect a Stereo Mini audio cable (purchased seperately) from the display rear panel to the PC (the Headphones terminal can be used for this purpose).

Note: The display’s PC video input is only compatible with VGA, SVGA, XGA, or SXGA resolutions.

If your PC has digital audio output, connect that terminal to a digital input of your digital A/V receiver, if available. The HDTV (display and media center) only supports analog PC audio.

3.Add the device (PC) in the NetCommand® menu.

4.Select the PC through the Device Selection menu.
