MAKING CONNECTIONS113 NOTE •1920 x 1080 is the recommended PC resolution. If you use the TV in other video modes, afterimages or distorted images may appear on the screen. •Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if a HDMI to DVI Cable is in use. •In PC mode, there may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness. If noise is present, change the PC output to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the PICTURE menu until the picture is clear. •The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate. •Depending on the graphics card, some resolution settings may not allow the image to be positioned on the screen properly. •If you experience overscan issues when using HDMI-PC 1920x1080, change aspect ratio to Just scan. •When selecting HDMI-PC, set the“Input Label - PC”in the INPUT menu. Connecting to an Audio System Use an optional external audio system instead of the built-in speaker. NOTE •If you use an optional external audio device instead of the built-in speaker, set the TV speaker feature to off (See p.93). Digital Optical Audio Connection Transmits the digital audio signal from the TV to an external device. Connect the external device and the TV with the optical audio cable as shown in the following illustration. NOTE •Do not look into the optical output port.
