moreoften.Inthatcase,removestaticelectricityand
thenoisesourcethatmaycauseproblemswithan
antistaticmat,andre-connectthewiredLAN.
• Inrarecases,theLANconnectionisdisableddue

The type of computer signal that can be connected
● With regard to the typical PC input signals that
are described in “Preset Signals” (see page 75),
adjustment values such as for the standard picture
positions and sizes have already been stored in this
unit. You can add up to eight PC input signal types that
are not included in the list.
● Computer signals which can be input are those with
a horizontal scanning frequency of 30 to 110 kHz and
vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz.
● The display resolution is a maximum of 1 440 × 1 080
dots when the aspect mode is set to [4:3], and 1 920
× 1 080 dots when the aspect mode is set to [16:9].
If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it
may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient
clarity.
● In [ENGLISH(US)] OSD language, [16:9] is displayed
as [FULL].
Note
● The PC IN terminal is DDC2B-compatible. If the
computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible,
you will need to make setting changes to the computer
at the time of connection.
● Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
● There is no need to use an adapter for computers with
DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.
● The computer shown in the illustration is for example
purposes only.
● Additional computer, cables and conversion adapter
shown are not supplied with this set.
● Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning
frequencies for PC signals which are above or below
the specified frequency range.
● Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the
Mini D-sub 15P Connector.
● Change the [Component/RGB-in select] setting in
the [Signal] menu to [Component] (when Component
signal connection) or [RGB] (when RGB signal
connection). (see page 48)
