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.
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.
HDMI CEC
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 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.
Connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to your TV, you can operate them with the TV remote control.
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) must be switched on on the TV and the connected device.
