CEC and CEC RC Passthrough

This function allows to control the CEC-enabled devices, that are connected through HDMI ports by using the remote control of the TV.

The CEC option in the System>Settings>More menu should be set as Enabled at first. Press the Source button and select the HDMI input of the connected CEC device from the Source List menu. When new CEC source device is connected, it will be listed in source menu with its own name instead of the connected HDMI ports name(such as DVD Player, Recorder 1 etc.).

The TV remote is automatically able to perform the main functions after the connected HDMI source has been selected.

To terminate this operation and control the TV via the remote again, press and hold the "0-Zero" button on the remote control for 3 seconds. Or press Quick Menu button on the remote, highlight the CEC RC Passthrough and set as Off by pressing Left or Right button. This feature can also be enabled or disabled under the System>Settings>More menu.

The TV supports also ARC(Audio Return Channel) feature. This feature is an audio link meant to replace other cables between the TV and the audio system (A/V receiver or speaker system).

When ARC is active, TV does not mute its other audio outputs automatically. So you need to decrease TV volume to zero manually, if you want to hear audio from connected audio device only (same as other optical or co-axial digital audio outputs). If you want to change connected device's volume level, you should select that device from the source list. In that case volume control keys are directed to connected audio device.

System Audio Control

Allows an Audio Amplifier/Receiver to be used with the TV. The volume can be controlled using the remote control of the TV. To activate this feature set the Speakers option in the System>Settings>More menu as Amplifier. The TV speakers will be muted and the sound of the watched source will be provided from the connected sound system.

Note: The audio device should support System Audio Control feature and CEC option should be set as Enabled.
