Displaying Pc Images (Vga/Dvi); Connecting Personal Computers - Loewe Spheros 32 HD Operating Instructions Manual

Displaying PC images (VGA/DVI)

Your Spheros/Xelos has a digital visual interface
(DVI) with which you can show PC images on
the TV screen for example.

Connecting personal computers

Connect the PC directly to the socket labeled
"DVI" on the back of the Signal Box. The digital
audio signal can be connected to the input
"Digital In 1 or 2". If your PC does not have a
DVI interface, please use a VGA/DVI adapter
cable. This is available from electronics and
computer dealers. Connect the analogue audio
output of the PC to the "AUDIO IN 2" socket.
The TV set can be connected to the following
standards: VGA (640x480 @85Hz), XGA
(1024x768 @85Hz), SVGA (800x600 @85Hz) or
SXGA (1280x1024 @75Hz).
DDC Function (Display Data Channel)
The DDC function automatically detects graphic
resolutions supported by the TV set.
If you wish to use the DDC function, first
connect the PC to the TV set via the VGA or DVI
socket. Boot the PC. Regardless of whether the
TV set is on or off, you can select the graphic
resolution (e.g. XGA 1024 x 768 at 75 Hz) in the
"Properties" menu on the PC.

In the "Image" menu, you can select the
contrast, brightness, sharpness, picture format,
colour standard (not with DVI) etc. and adjust

this format.
For an optimum display and maximum picture
focus of standards VGA and SVGA, you can
select "Original" under "Picture format". In
this case the exact format values of the graphic
card must be known and set in the menu "VGA
geometry".
In the "Sound" menu, you can set the volume
of the loudspeakers or headphones, or select
the tone for two-tone playback.
