For the monitor (TV) you can just use the HDMI out? If yes can I also use a PC i.e. gives HDMI in to the reciever and I can use my tv as PC screen

Yes. And also yes. I use my TV (routed through the receiver) as my PC screen all the time.

Hi Gordon, yes, you can. Just connect the HDMI cable to your computer for you to use it as a monitor. Thanks_Mitch

It doesn't matter what monitor you use. There are different cables and adaptors available. You can even hook it up to a TV.

No, not using HDMI. I'm hooked up with a conventional multipin connector from the comp's vidio output, and running at 1280 X 768 on the computer, which results in a very nice full screen PC image on the TV/monitor as well as an acceptable fullscreen TV image (I switch back and forth between the PC and cable frequently). By "acceptable", I mean the TV image is slightly laterally distorted at full screen, but is is not annoying to me.

I hooked up my PC, picture is great, basically i use it as a monitor, because i have cable box, dvd, sound surround system and PC, everything connected with HDMI cables. I have no complains. Good luck!

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

Yes, in fact, for example I run my Xbox and PC to the HDMI-in ports and have one HDMI that goes to my TV from the receiver. If I want to hear one or the other, I have to have it selected on the receiver. The power to the receiver has to be on for anything to work (video or sound).

Yes you can. You just need a VGA cable. The same one you use to connect your computer hard drive to the monitor.

I plugged in with a HDMI cable into my video card and it gave me the option to use the monitor through windows sound options. Did not have to do anything else to get that option. Sound is not so great but I love the monitor for the cost I paid a while back, under $100.

The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals. In the simplest setup where all sources and monitors (I.e. TVs, receivers, etc) are HDMI capable, you won't need to worry about audio. However, if your receiver is HDMI-less, then you have the choices of sending analog or digital audio signal to it. While I've not tried digital signal but the analog works for me just like you stated in your question. I've read in the product reviews that the unit can only output one type of signal at a time. Meaning you can't have both analog and digital outputs at the same time. Search the reviews may help. The HDMI inputs outputs do carry audio signals.

There are several ways of connecting a PC to theTV. You can use RG or HDMI. Read the Sharp operator manual for this TV, page 44.

Typically, you would use a 15-pin VGA cable, (just like connecting to your computer's monitor) and a component audio if you want sound to play through the tv as well. If your computer has HDMI out, you can use that as an alternative.

Digital Video/ Audio Input Port (HDMI-IN) (Optional) You can connect an HDMI cable to this port. You can connect the HDMI port to a device with an HDMI output port and use this product as a monitor with digital video and audio output from the device. Digital Vieo/Audio out port (HDMI-OUT) You can connect an HDMI cable to this port. You can connect the computer to a TV and output digital video and audio to the TV.

The tv does not have a specific input for a PC. You can purchase a DVI to HDMI converter and then use it as a computer monitor within the resolution constraints. The TV supports up to 1080p while most computer monitors support 1280p.

If your PC has an HDMI output (or you can convert your PC's monitor output to HDMI), then the answer is YES. We do this all the time, and it works well within the distance limits of the device.
