Instructions

  1. Connecting your Computer to your Bravia

    • 1

      Connect the DVI end of your DVI/VGA cable into the spare outlet on your video card that is not being used by your monitor.

    • 2

      Plug the VGA end of your cable into the back of the Sony Bravia television. Depending on the model of your TV, the plug may be labeled as either "VGA" or "RGB".

    • 3

      Switch to the "PC" channel on your television. Again, depending on your model of Bravia TV the channel may either be "PC" or "VGA Out" or one of several other labels. Regardless you will know which channel it is when you see your computer desktop appear.

Tips & Warnings

  • Have your TV turned to the channel designated for the VGA connection before hooking your TV up to your PV. Also consider having a video file playing on your PC so that you can make sure that you have a good connection and not just a static image, which can happen on rare occasion.

  • Be careful when unplugging any cables on the back of your TV and make sure to know where to reconnect them (should you have to unplug them).
