How to Connect Your PC to Your Sony Bravia Television

Cable and connector plug for the D-sub socket on a Bravia TV.

The Sony Bravia is a line of high-definition TV sets available in different screen sizes and equipped with varied connection ports for hooking up other components. The Bravia is equipped with both D-sub and HDMI (High Definition Media Interface) ports for connecting a PC. Use a 15-pin D-sub cable for older computers, hooking up to the socket for an external monitor. An HDMI cable is the connection of choice for a digital hookup between newer PCs and the Sony Bravia.

Things You'll Need

• HDMI or D-sub cable

Instructions

1. Turn off and unplug both the Sony Bravia and the PC.

2. Connect either the plug on an HDMI cable or a D-sub cable to the labeled input port on the rear panel of the Bravia set.

3. Hook up the plug on the other end of the cable to the corresponding output port on the back of the PC tower.

4. Plug in and turn on the Bravia and PC.

5. Press and release the input select button on the Bravia remote control until the PC display appears on the Bravia screen.
