can watch your computer’s display on the TV and
hear the sound from the TV’s speakers.

the TV, use an analog RGB (15-pin) computer
cable and a PC audio cable.
•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 Page 79.

shared with the HDMI 1 analog audio input
terminal.
