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.
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 ports
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.
If a device connected with HDMI is not working
correctly, check if a different HDMI Ultra HD setting
can solve this problem. In Help, press the colour
key  Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra HD.
Copy protection
HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc
or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital
Rights Management).
HDMI ARC and eARC
All of the HDMI connections on the TV have HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
soundbar or AV receiver, also has the HDMI ARC
connection, connect it to any of the HDMI
connections 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.
You can use any HDMI connection on this TV to
connect the HTS but ARC is only available for 1
device/connection at a time
HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an
advancement over the previous ARC. It covers all ARC
features but with higher bandwidth and speed. eARC
supports high quality audio transmission up to192kHz,
24-bit, uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel
uncompressed audio.
Note: HDMI eARC is only available on HDMI 2. Use
HDMI cable with Ethernet for eARC. Only 1 eARC
device is available at a time.
