Availability depends on the specific model and area.

An aerial must be connected to the TV in order to receive broadcast signals.

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

Connect the cable from an aerial or cable outlet to the One Connect's ANT IN connector as shown in the diagram below.

It is best to connect the both connectors using a Multi-Switch or Diseqc. Switch, etc and to set Aerial

Connection Type to Dual.

Video Device Connection

Availability depends on the specific model and area.

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

●

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

The following types of HDMI cables are recommended:

High-Speed HDMI Cable

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

●

HDMI cables have certain requirements:

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 standardised by the IEEE.

HDCP 2.2 can only use the HDMI(MHL) port. HDCP is short for 'High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection' and is for video copyright protection.

Refer to the diagram and connect the HDMI cable to the video device's HDMI output connector and the One Connect'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

Refer to the diagram and connect the Component cable to the One Connect's component input connectors and the device’s component output connectors. Make sure the cable colours match the connector colours.

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

External Input Connection

Refer to the diagram and connect the video and audio cables to the AV adapter (included) and the adapter to One Connect's external input 1 or 2 connector.

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

SCART Connection

Connect the One Connect's SCART input connector to the device's SCART output connector using a SCART cable. An extra audio connection is not needed because SCART also carries audio.

SCART can only carry standard-definition video.

TV Audio through the External Speakers

Your TV has a variety of connectors for audio input from devices such as Blu-ray players and DVD players and for audio output to such devices as amplifiers. The connectors are listed below.

ARC (Audio Return Channel)

●

Digital Audio (Optical)

●

There are several issues to bear in mind when using audio input:

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.

HDMI (ARC) Connection

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.

Some models may not support ARC.

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

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

Digital Audio (Optical) Connection

Availability depends on the specific model and area.

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 audio device itself. If this occurs, ask for assistance from the audio device manufacturer.

Digital audio is only available with 5.1-channel broadcasts.

Refer to the diagram and connect the optical cable to the One Connect's digital audio output connector and the device's digital audio input connector.
