Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a personal computer (PC)
With either the PC IN or HDMI connection, you can watch
your computer’s display on the TV and hear the sound from the
TV’s speakers.

To connect a PC to the PC IN terminal on the TV:

When connecting a PC to the PC IN terminal on 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 following signals can be
displayed:
Other formats or non-standard signals will not be displayed
correctly.
To display the optimum picture, use the PC setting feature
(- “Using the PC settings feature” on page63).
Note:
The PC audio input terminals on the TV are shared with the
HDMI-1 analog audio input terminals (- page63).
Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
An adapter is not needed for computers with a compatible
mini D-sub15-pin terminal.
Depending on the DVD’s title and the 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.

To connect a PC to the HDMI terminal on the TV:

When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal on the TV, use
an HDMI-to DVI adapter cable and analog audio cables.
If connecting a PC with an HDMI terminal, use an HDMI cable
(type A connector). Separate analog cables are not necessary
(- page 19).
The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, 480i (60Hz),
480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/
60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see
page 75.
Note:
The edges of the images may be hidden.
If receiving a 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signal program, Native
mode scales the video to display the entire picture within the
borders of the screen (i.e. no overs canning).
