can be used for PC input.  
Note: This model only supplies D-Sub to component line  
YPrPb is for progressive signal and mainly be used to connect DVD player or HDTV.  
Connect the stereo sound input jack on the back of the LCD TV (near the D-sub  
connector) to the audio output terminal of equipment.  
To display images from the connected appliance, select YCrCb using AV button on the  
remote control.  
(Depending on model)  
DVI and DVI Audio input(R/L)(input)

Connecting active speakers or an amplifier (using a jack / CINCH cable not provided).  
The audio stereo jack socket located on the back of the LCD TV set can be used to connect active speakers (with  
a built-in amplifier) or an amplifier.  
Connect the left and the right speaker to the stereo jack socket using a jack / CINCH cable (not provided).

If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without using the SCART socket), switch it on and play  
a tape.  
Then search for the video recorder’s relevant channel (refer to the relevant section).  
If you connect a video recorder via the aerial socket, you should assign channel 99 to it in order to improve the  
picture quality when tapes are being played and in pause mode. However, we recommend you connect your video  
recorder via the SCART socket, as it provides better picture and sound quality.
