1.Connect the computer’s digital signal output to one of the TV’s HDMI jacks. See the connection dia- grams for the method suited to your equipment.
2.Connect the computer’s audio output using one of these options:
•For digital DVI video signals, connect the analog audio output to the TV’s DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT jack.
•For HDMI signals, no additional audio connec- tion is required.
•If your computer provides digital audio output (coaxial or optical), connect it directly to a digital A/V receiver and bypass the TV.
Tip
Set the computer’s screen saver to display a screensaver pattern after several minutes of inactiv- ity. This acts as a reminder that the TV is powered on and the lamp is in use. The lamp is in use whenever the TV is powered on, even if the screen appears dark.
3.Power on the TV and computer.
4.Go to the TV’s Setup > Input > Input Name menu and assign the name PC.
5.To switch the TV to the computer, press the INPUT key and select PC from the inputs list.
Note: If you are unable to hear audio from the computer, there may be an incompatibility in the computer’s hardware, software, or internal settings. Consult a trained computer technician for advice.

Image Resolution
Your Mitsubishi TV can display the resolutions shown in the chart on the next page from standard VGA (640 x
480)through 1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 60
Hz.
In most cases, the computer will select the best resolu- tion match to display on the TV. You can override this setting if you wish. Refer to your computer operating system’s instructions for information on changing the screen resolution.
You may need to restart the computer for changes to take effect.
