Do not send multiple commands at the same time. Wait
until the PC receives the OK response before sending
the next command.
Make sure to send “A” with the carriage return and
confi rm that “ERR” returns before operating.

PC Control of the TV
• When a program is set, the TV can be controlled from the
PC using the RS-232C terminal. The input signal (PC/video)
can be selected, the volume can be adjusted and various
other adjustments and settings can be made, enabling
automatic programmed playing.
• Attach an RS-232C cable cross-type (commercially
available) to a 9 pin D-sub/MINI-DIN (optional: AN-A1RS)
for the connections.
NOTE
• This operation system should be used by a person who is
accustomed to using PCs.

NOTE
• This TV has only limited PC compatibility, correct operation
can only be guaranteed if the video card conforms exactly
to the VESA 60Hz standard. Any variations from this
standard will result in picture distortions.
After sending the return code (0DH), make sure to send
line feed (0AH) as well.
