Hdmi Inputs
Are the three hdmi inputs supposed to be the same or for different purposes. I can only connect the computer to the HDMI input 1 and I wonder if the other two are broken. Thanks!

I searched the owners manual and saw nothing restricting the PC from working on all HDMI inputs.
On page 44 it describes the PC resolution requirements. If you are trying to access HDMI2 and it grayed out then you need to relabel it to something other than "Skip" (see page 26). If you cannot make them work then contact Sony consumer Support. For US Support: http://www.sony.com/tvsupport or call 1-800-222-SONY (7669)
