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.

"

Refer to the external device's operating manual when connecting it to the TV. The number of external device

HDMI (ARC) Connection

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 lets the TV output digital sound to an audio device and input digital sound from the same audio

device through one 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.

"

Certain functions such as Smart Hub may not be available if the Source is set to HDMI and 3D Auto View is

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 TV's digital audio output connector and the

device's digital audio input connector.
