	computer video.

1.Connect the computer’s digital signal output to one of the TV’s HDMI jacks. See the connection diagrams for the method suited to your equipment.

2.Connect the computer’s audio output using one of these options:

•For digital DVI video signals, connect the analog audio output to the TV’s DVI/PC AUDIO INPUT jack.

•For HDMI signals, no additional audio connection is required.

•If your computer provides digital audio output (coaxial or optical), connect it directly to a digital A/V receiver and bypass the TV.

Tip

Set the computer’s screen saver to display a screensaver pattern after several minutes of inactivity. This acts as a reminder that the TV is powered on and the lamp is in use. The lamp is in use whenever the TV is powered on, even if the screen appears dark.

3.Power on the TV and computer.

4.Go to the TV’s Setup > Input > Input Name menu and assign the name PC.

5.To switch the TV to the computer, press the INPUT key and select PC from the inputs list.

Note: If you are unable to hear audio from the computer, there may be an incompatibility in the computer’s hardware, software, or internal settings. Consult a trained computer technician for advice.

Computer Video Adjustments

1.Working from the computer, change the resolution of the computer image. View the computer image on the TV and maximize the computer resolution while maintaining a suitable aspect ratio for the image.

2.Perform TV video adjustments in the Setup > Picture menu.

3.Press the FORMAT key repeatedly to find the picture format best suited to the image. See the chart on the next page showing how different computer resolutions can be displayed on the TV.

Image Resolution

Your Mitsubishi TV can display the resolutions shown in the chart on the next page from standard VGA (640 x 480) through 1920 x 1080 signals at a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

In most cases, the computer will select the best resolution match to display on the TV. You can override this setting if you wish. Refer to your computer operating system’s instructions for information on changing the screen resolution.

You may need to restart the computer for changes to take effect.

Distortion in Computer Images

Computer images may show distortion when viewed on the TV, e.g., lines that should be straight may appear slightly curved.
