●

External Input

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

Before connecting any external device or cable to the TV, first verify the TV's model number. A sticker containing the model number is attached to the back of the TV. The connection method varies depending on the model.

The following types of HDMI cables are recommended:

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

Use an HDMI cable with a thickness of 14 mm or less.

Using a non-certified HDMI cable may result in a blank screen or a connection error.

Some HDMI cables and devices may not be compatible with the TV due to different HDMI specifications.

This TV does not support HDMI Ethernet Channel. Ethernet is a LAN (Local Area Network) built with coaxial cables standardized by the IEEE.

Refer to the diagram and connect the HDMI cable to the video device's HDMI output connector and the TV's HDMI input connector.

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

Once the connection has been made, you will be able to select the connected external device using the SOURCE button.

Component Connection

Before connecting any external devices and cables to the TV, first verify the model number of the TV you purchased. A sticker containing the model number is attached to the back of the TV. The connection method varies depending on the model.

Refer to the diagram and connect the Component AV cable to the TV's component input connectors and the device’s component output connectors.

Make sure the cable colours match the connector colours.

Before connecting any external devices and cables to the TV, first verify the model number of the TV you purchased. A sticker showing the model number is attached to the back of the TV. The connection method varies depending on the model.

ARC (Audio Return Channel) enables digital sound output using just an HDMI cable. However, ARC is only available through the HDMI (ARC) port and only when the TV is connected to an ARC-enabled AV receiver.

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

Connect an HDMI cable to the TV's HDMI (ARC) connector and the device's HDMI output connector.
