Connecting a computer
Note: If your computer has an HDMI connection, we suggest that you use
it instead of the PC IN VGA connection. The HDMI connection will
provide a better quality picture.

1 Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged and the
computer is turned off.
2 Connect one end of a VGA cable (not included) to the PC IN VGA
jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other end of the
cable to the VGA jack on the computer.
3 Connect one end of an audio cable (not included) to the
PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack on the back of the TV, then connect the
other end of the cable to the AUDIO OUT jack on the computer.
Note: The audio cable should have a stereo mini-plug.
To play video from the computer:
1 Turn on the TV, then press INPUT. The INPUT SOURCE menu
opens.
2 Press or to select VGA, then press ENTER.

properties as needed.
