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 PC IN terminal can
accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, and SXGA
signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page
69.
• To display the optimum picture, use the PC setting feature
(
- “Using the PC settings feature” on page 56).
Note:
• The PC audio input terminal on the TV is shared with the
HDMI 1 analog audio input terminal (- page 57).
• 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-DV1 adapter cable and an analog audio cable.
If connecting a PC with an HDMI terminal, use an HDMI cable
(type A connector). Separate PC audio cable is not necessary
(- page 16).
The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA,
WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz),
1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/60Hz) signal formats. For
detailed signal specifications, see page 69.

• The edges of the images may be hidden.
• If receiving a 480i (HDMI), 480p (HDMI), 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 overscanning).
