• When a program is set, the TV can be controlled from the PC using the RS-232C terminal. The input signal
(PC/AV) 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 the supplied Din/D-Sub RS-232C for the
connections.
NOTE
• This operation system should be used by a person who is accustomed to using computers.
