CONNECTING YOUR TV

Connecting a computer

With either an RGB/PC or an HDMI connection,

you can watch your computer’s display on the

television and hear the sound from the television’s

speakers.

When connecting a PC to the RGB/PC terminal on the
television, use an analogue RGB (15-pin) computer cable and
a PC audio cable for the PC/HDMI1 (AUDIO) socket. Select
PC

from the PC/HDMI 1 Audio options in the AV Connection

menu located in the SETUP menu.

To use a PC, set the monitor output resolution on the PC
before connecting it to the television. For acceptable PC
signal formats, see page 60.

To display the optimum picture, use the PC setting feature (see
page 48).

NOTE:
• The PC audio input terminal on the television is shared with

the HDMI 1 analogue audio input terminal (see page 50).

• Some PC models cannot be connected to this television.
• 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.

• A band may appear at the edges of the screen or parts of

the picture may be obscured. This is due to scaling of the
picture by the set, it is not a malfunction.

• When PC input mode is selected, some of the television’s

features will be unavailable e.g. Manual Settings in the
SETUP

menu, Colour, Tint, Sharpness and Black/White

Level

in the PICTURE menu.

• If connecting a certain PC model with a unique PC signal,

the PC signal may not be detected correctly.

When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal on the television,
use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable and an analogue audio
cable.

If connecting a PC with an HDMI terminal, use an HDMI cable
(type A connector). A separate analogue cable is not
necessary (see page 9).

For acceptable PC and video signal formats, see page 61.

NOTE:
• The edges of the images may be hidden.
• If connecting a certain PC model with a unique PC signal,

the PC signal may not be detected correctly.
