Glossary

Antenna Connection

If you are not connecting your TV to a cable or satellite box, you must connect an antenna or a cable
outlet to the TV to receive broadcast signals.

Connect a cable from an antenna or cable outlet to the ANT IN connector as shown in the diagram
below.

"

An antenna connection is not necessary when a cable box or satellite receiver is used.

Video Device Connections

Your TV has a variety of connectors for video input from external devices such as cable boxes, satellite
receivers, Blu-ray players, DVD players, camcorders, and gaming consoles. Below is a list of featured
connectors shown in descending order of picture quality.

●

HDMI

●

Component

●

Composite (A/V)

Connect a video device to the TV via an HDMI connector for the best picture quality. If the device does
not have an HDMI connector, try a component connector to get the next best picture quality.

"

The number of connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the model.

"

Refer to the external device's operating manual when connecting it to the TV. The number of external device
connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the manufacturer.

HDMI Connection

The following types of HDMI cables are recommended:

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable

"

The number of connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the model.

Once the connection has been made, press the SOURCE button to select the connected external
device.

●

Digital Audio (Optical)

●

Audio (Analog)

"

For better audio quality, it is a good idea to use an AV receiver.

"

The number of connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the model.

"

Refer to the external device's operating manual when connecting it to the TV. The number of external device
connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Digital Audio (Optical) Connection

Connecting an AV receiver to the TV via a digital audio (optical) connector lets you listen to digital
audio.

"

Connecting a device using an optical cable does not automatically turn off the TV speakers. To turn off the
TV's speakers, set TV Sound Output (Sound > Speaker Settings > TV Sound Output) to something other
than TV Speaker.

"

Adjust the audio device's volume using its remote control.

"

An unusual noise coming from the audio device while you are using it may indicate a problem with the

Set Clock Mode to Auto. The TV automatically downloads the correct time from a digital channel. To
enable this option, the TV's Antenna jack must be connected to either an antenna or a cable output
and must be receiving digital broadcasts. The accuracy of the time information received may vary
depending on the channel and signal. If your TV is connected to a set-top-box or satellite box using
HDMI or Component connections, you must set the time manually.

If the Clock is Wrong in Auto Mode...

MENU > System > Time > Clock > Time Offset

Try Now

If the time the TV sets automatically is incorrect, you can offset the clock in 1-hour increments by as
much as -/+ 12 hours. Select System > Time > Clock > Time Offset, and then offset the clock to the
correct time.
