7.1

About Connections

Connectivity Guide

Always connect a device to the TV with the highest
quality connection available. Also, use good quality
cables to ensure a good transfer of picture and
sound.

When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its
type and gives each device a correct type name. You
can change the type name if you wish. If a correct
type name for a device is set, the TV automatically
switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to
this device in the Sources menu.

HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc
or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital
Rights Management).

HDMI ARC

Only HDMI 1 connection on the TV has HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).

If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to
HDMI 1 on this TV. With the HDMI ARC connection,
you do not need to connect the extra audio cable
that sends the sound of the TV picture to the HTS.
The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals.

Antenna port

If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or
Recorder, connect the antenna cables to run the
antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or
Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the
antenna and the Set-top box can send possible
additional channels to the Recorder to record.

HDMI ports

HDMI Quality

An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD)
TV signals.

For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.

HDMI CEC

Connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to your TV,
you can operate them with the TV remote control.

Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre
System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips
Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC
connection, you can use HDMI ARC connection on
the TV to connect. With HDMI ARC, you do not need
to connect the extra audio cable. The HDMI ARC
connection combines both signals.
Since HDMI 1 on the TV can offer the Audio Return
Channel (ARC) signal, the TV can only send the ARC
signal to this HDMI connection.

Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre
System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips
Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.

If the Home Theatre System has no HDMI ARC
connection, add an optical audio cable to send the
sound of the TV picture to the Home Theatre System.

can set a delay on most Home Theatre Systems with
a disc player to match the sound with the video.
