●
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

device through one HDMI cable. ARC is only available through the HDMI (ARC) port and only when the
TV is connected to an ARC-enabled AV receiver.
"
Certain functions such as Smart Hub may not be available if the Source is set to HDMI and 3D Auto View is
set to On. If this is the case, set 3D Auto View or 3D Mode to Off.
Connect an HDMI cable to the TV's HDMI (ARC) connection and the device's HDMI output connection.
