NOTE: When connecting
a device via the YPbPr or Side
AV input, you must use the
connection cables to enable
connection. For Side AV input
you should use the supplied
cable. See the illustrations on
the left side . | To enable PC/
YPbPr audio, you will need to
use the Back Audio inputs with
a YPbPr/PC audio cable (not
supplied) for audio connection.
| If an external device is connected
via the SCART socket, the TV will
automatically switch to AV mode.|
When receiving DTV channels
(Mpeg4 H.264) or while in Media
Player mode, output will not be
available via the scart socket. |
When using the wall mounting
kit (available from third party
in the market, if not supplied),
we recommend that you plug all
your cables into the back of the
TV before mounting on the wall.
| Insert or remove the CI module
only when the TV is SWITCHED
OFF. You should refer to the
module instruction manual for
details of the settings. | The
USB input on the back of the
TV(USB 2.0) supports devices up
to 500mA. Connecting devices
that have current value above
500mA may damage your TV. For
the USB inputs on the side of the
TV(USB 3.0) this limit value is 1A.
| By connecting an HDMI cable to
your TV, you have to use only a
shielded HDMI cable to guarantee
a sufficient immunity against
parasitic frequency radiation. And
make sure to use a High-Speed
HDMI cable that can transmit
high denition signals, such as
4K contents, for trouble-free
transmission.
If you want to connect a
device to the TV, make
sure that both the TV
and the device are turned off
before making any connection.
After the connection is done, you
can turn on the units and use
them.
