Step 3: Connecting an HDTV to your computer
For Windows 7
If you have a Windows 7 computer with an HDMI port, we highly recommend that you try using the computer with an HDTV and the
wireless keyboard. This is particularly convenient with a notebook or small desktop computer. We want you to be able to enjoy all
your computer has to offer, including the Internet, from your favorite chair. Special functions on the keyboard, including Magnify
features, work with our software to make using it with an HDTV easy and fun.
1
Most HDTV sets have an HDMI port. If your HDTV does have an HDMI port, plug an HDMI cable into a free HDMI port on the
HDTV.
2
Plug the other end of the cable into an HDMI port on your computer. If all your HDTV’s HDMI ports are used, ZDTV may have
to share an HDMI input with a DVD player or other device. (If your Windows 7 computer does not have an HDMI port, you can
try connecting to an HDTV using a VGA or DVI video connection. You may get acceptable performance, depending on the
capabilities of your computer and HDTV, but some ZDTV features may not work correctly.)

Your HDTV remote or a button on your HDTV lets you select the TV’s input. Typically you press Source, Input, or a similarly-
named button on your remote or HDTV to select among your set-top box, DVD / BD player and other devices. Selecting your
computer for the screen input is similar to selecting a DVD player. Select your computer as the HDTV input. Check to make
sure that you see your computer’s Windows desktop on your HDTV.

Your PC may offer a DVI connector. If it does, use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect your PC to your HDTV. Otherwise, in most
cases, your PC will have a VGA port. Connect this port to a VGA input port on your HDTV.
When using an HDMI to HDMI cable, you will see the message

HDTV.
