To connect your PC or Laptop to your Harman Kardon AVR 2600 you need to connect the HDMI cable output of your graphics card to one of the 4 HDMI inputs on the AVR 2600 receiver. The HDMI connector on the AVR 2600 labeled "HDMI Monitor" is on output and cannot be used as in input.

You need to select the corresponding input from the front of the AVR 2600 or using the remote. Next you need to make sure your have the HDMI output port selected on hour graphics card. This will probably not apply to your PC, but may require some settings from the function keys on your Laptop.

Note that you will probably need to also connect audio from your PC to your receiver as well. I would recommend you use HDMI cable with ver1.4 specification so that you have the best chance of getting audio over the HDMI. If you only get video, then run separate Toslink (optical) or RCA cables to get the audio to the system from the PC.

How to connect lap top to TV?

Depends on the laptop and TV. Newer ones only require an HDMI cable, and not an expensive one either. Depending on the age of both you may need adaptors.

CONNECT PC TO TV

If you're TV has a vga or hdmi port then just hook them up with one of those. For vga make sure you select vga input in the tv's menu. For hdmi select the proper hdmi input in the tv input menu. You of course will need a vga cable or an hdmi cable and make sure the desktop has an hdmi port first if you go that route. If not you'll have to buy an hdmi addon card.

Hello
There are two types of connections can be done with PC to TV, according to TVs inputs. If TV has a VGA input socket, a VGA to VGA cable is necessary. If the TV has only HDMI input socket, a VGA to HDMI cable is needed.

I have a dell dimension 3000, bought a new HP 2310E monitor with 3 ports. DVI, HDMI & display port. Told to buy a cable with VGA to connect to dell and DVI to connect to HP Monitor display port....

Hi sshorne9780,

I see that you are having a check input error on the Monitor/LCD that your are connecting to your Dell tower, please see steps below.

  • On your HP 2310E make sure that your HP is set to the input/source that you are using and make sure that you only use one type of video cable for the issue.
  • I see that you mentioned that you have a VGA cable and a DVI cable, you can only use one type of cable for a video connection.
  • VGA would be the Blue tipped cable connecting to the tower and going to the LCD monitor.
  • DVI this is a black cable connecting to a white port much bigger than a VGA port and is rectangular in shape unlike the VGA
  • moz-screenshot.pngmvincentc_34.jpg
  • and on your LCD monitor check the input type to see video from the tower.
  • everything seems to be OK you just need to change the input of your LCD monitor for the video to show up on the screen.
  • also if you are using HDMI for the video u will need to change the setting of your Audio and set HDMI as the Default to have Audio come out from the HDMI connection together with video, the HDMI viedo will automatically be detected as long as the LCD monitor's input is set to HDMI.
I hope that this will able to help resolve your concern.

Thank you for choosing Fixya,

How do i connect advent pc to philips hdtv. do i need to change settings?

well not really, you need to buy the proper cable depending on the inputs of your tv, it may have the standar VGA connection as the standar pc monitor.

DVI to VGA cable
DVI to DVI
HDMI to DVI
HDMI to HDMI

after you have the proper cable just plug it, and turn it off, disconnect the standar computer minitor and turn it back on. the computer will set the input signal from the tv by itself.

thats for the video, for the audio you need a different cable

3.5 mm to RCA (white and red cable)
3.5 mm to 3.5mm headphonejack cable
but if you are using the HDMI to HDMI you don't need a sound cable.

HDMI only for video and sound through regular audio input

DVI does NOT support sound unlike HDMI. Hopefully your PC has a Co-axial S/PDIF digital output. If not you might want to spend the $50 and buy a nice one from Creative. Modern motherboards are even coming with HDMI built-in but that's NOT your situation. I use a 15" DVI to HDMI cable but you are probably using an adapter and the a regular HDMI cable. Get co-axial digital audio cable of the right length and connect it to the co-axial inputs (they're in the upper corner). Use the remote's set-up button and select the "Digital Input" option. This is very powerful. You can assign any of the Optical or Co-axial inputs to any associated device.

I have my PC as Video 3 with sound coming in via HDMI which I assign under the "HDMI Video" menu and sound under the "Digital Input" as "Coax1". I use "Coax2" for the DVD player that lacks an optical output. If you use regular analog you are screwed as you found out. I usually use the headphone jack and an extension cable with the Computer and watch on it's monitor.

All HDTV sets are **** compared to a decent computer monitor. The deliver MUCH clearer video and much higher resolutions that shitty the 1080 HDTV maxes out at. ATSC is **** compared to a PC. Grated, cable is junk compared to ATSC at 1080i but that's another story. Yet, comparing ATSC to a computer is like comparing NTSC or digital cables' crappy 480i with ATSC at 1080i. It that much greater. At least 720p is wide screened unlike 480i garbage that's most of Comcast's "HD" digital junk.
