However, an aerial connection is not necessary if you are using a cable box or satellite receiver.

Video Device Connections

DVD players, camcorders and gaming consoles. Below is a list of featured connectors shown in

descending order of picture quality.

●

HDMI

●

Component

●

AV

Connect the 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 possible picture

quality.

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

When connecting an external device, refer to the device's operating manual. The number of external

device connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the manufacturer.

4

TV's HDMI input connector. One of the following HDMI cable types is recommended:

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable

●

High-Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

For the LED 7000 series models, connect the TV’s component video and audio input connectors to the

external device’s component video and audio output connectors using a component cable, so that the

connectors of the same colour connect to each other, as shown in the figure.

For the LED, PDP 8000 series models, connect a component cable to the provided two jack-to-RCA

extension cables, so that the connectors of the same colour connect to each other. Plug the two jacks

into the TV’s component video and audio input connectors, and plug the five connectors on the other

end into the external device’s component video and audio output connectors, as shown in the figure.

6

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

●

Digital Audio (Optical)

●

ARC (Audio Return Channel)

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

When connecting an external device, refer to the device's operating manual. The number of external

device connectors and their names and locations may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Speaker Select) menu,

then set External Speaker.

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

An unusual noise coming from the audio device while it is being used may indicate a problem with the

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

5.1-channel audio for digital channels is only available with broadcasts that support 5.1-channel audio.

8

ARC (Audio Return Channel)

digital sound to be 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. Connect the HDMI

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

computer's DVI output port. The HDMI-to-DVI connection is available through the HDMI (DVI) port

only.

DVI cannot carry audio. To listen to the computer sound, connect the external speaker to the

computer’s audio output connector.

"

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

10 11

Smartphone Connection

This SMART TV supports MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) via an MHL cable. MHL makes it possible

to enjoy video, image, and audio files from mobile devices on your TV. However, MHL is only available

through the TV's HDMI (MHL) port and only when used in conjunction with an MHL-enabled mobile

device. Connect the MHL-to-HDMI cable to the TV's HDMI (MHL) port and the mobile device's USB

port.

"

Connecting the MHL-to-HDMI cable automatically switches Picture Size to Screen Fit. This setting will not

change automatically if you are using an HDMI adapter. In this case, change the setting manually in the
