If you have a PC that is equipped with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface), you may connect the PC DVI connector from the back of the PC to the DVI-In Connector located on the back of the monitor.

2Connect the red (R) and white (L) audio jacks from the PC to the R and L jacks located next to the RGB connector. If you are using a DVI interface, simply connect the (R) and (L) audio jacks to the R and L jacks located next to the DVI connector.
