To use a PC, set the monitor output resolution on the
PC before connecting it to the TV. The PC IN terminal
can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, and WXGA
signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see

displayed correctly.

The PC audio input terminals on the TV are shared
with the HDMI-1 analog audio input terminals.

An adapter is not needed for computers with a
compatible mini D-sub15-pin terminal.

specifications of the PC on which you are playing
the DVD-Video, some scenes may be skipped or
you may not be able to pause during multi-angle
scenes.
