Connecting a PC (personal computer)

Before you connect this TV/DVD to your PC, change the adjustment of
your PC’s Resolution and Refresh rate. See “Monitor display modes”
on right.
Connect one end of a (male to male) VGA cable to the video card of
the computer and the other end to the VGA connector PC at the side of
the TV/DVD. Fix the connectors firmly with the screws on the plug. In
case of a Multimedia computer, connect the audio cables to the audio
outputs of your Multimedia computer and to the AUDIO L and R
connectors of the PC IN jacks of the TV/DVD.
Set the video input source to PC mode (see “Selecting the video input
source” on page 31 and “Picture/Audio adjustments in the PC mode”
on page 43). The TV/DVD can be used as a computer monitor.
