Connecting Devices to your TV You have several options for connecting your TV to different devices. The method you choose will be based upon the type of cables you have and the available outputs on your device. Connecting an antenna, cable set-top box or satellite receiver To connect an antenna,cable set-top box or satellite receiver:

1. Connect one end of a coaxial cable (not included) to the

RF OUT port on the antenna, cable or satellite box. If you are using an antenna with twin-lead cable, you may need a 300-75 Ohm adapter (not provided) to connect it to the back of your TV. Likewise, if you are using several antennas, you may need a combiner (not provided).

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the

ANT/CABLE port on the side of TV.

3. Using your remote, select the

Inputs icon in Home screen and select Channels as the input source. Connecting a satellite receiver, DVD player or other audio visual (AV) devices with a composite video cable (yellow/white/red) To connect an AV device with a composite video cable (not provided):

1. Use the audio and video cables to connect the composite video/audio ports of the external AV device to the

AV IN ports of the TV. (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red)

2. Plug the connected devices into the AV connectors on the TV before switching it on.

3. Using your remote, select the

Inputs icon in Home screen and select Composite as the input source.

Connecting an AV device with an HDMI cable The high-powered HDMI version 2.0 inputs enable you to connect 4K Ultra-HD external devices, and have a better experience when connected to the HDMI port. For example, if you have an X-box or Blu-ray player that supports the 2.0 standard, more details will be transmitted to the TV screen to maximize your entertainment experience. Please refer to the User Manual that came with your device for step-by-step instructions. To connect an AV device with an HDMI cable (not provided):

1. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output port of the AV device to the

HDMI port of the TV.

2. Plug the connected devices into the

HDMI port on the TV before switching it on.

3. Using your remote, select the

Inputs icon in Home screen and select the corresponding HDMI input. NOTES

• Because the HDMI connector provides video and audio signals, it is not necessary to connect an audio cable.

• We strongly recommend to use HDMI Cable with 2 cores as shown in the figure. Connecting a headphone You can connect headphone (not provided) to the HEADPHONE port on your TV. While the headphone is connected, the sound from the built-in speakers will be disabled. NOTES

• Headphones with microphones are not supported.

• If "Headphone with Speakers" in the sound menu is selected manually, the headset and the whole machine will have sound at the same time. Connecting a USB device You can connect the USB devices such as hard drives, USB sticks and digital cameras for browsing photos, listening to music and watching recorded videos.

more information, see Media on page 32

• When connecting a hard disk or a USB hub, always connect the mains adapter of the connected device to the power supply. Exceeding a total current consumption may result in damage. The USB1.1 and USB2.0 devices maximum current consumption are 500mA.

• For individual non-standard high-capacity mobile hard disk, if its impulse current is greater than 500mA, it may cause TV-rebooting or self-locking. So the TV does not support it.

Connecting speakers or other audio receivers To connect speakers or other audio receivers with an audio cable (not provided):

1. Use an audio cable to connect the digital audio in port of the audio receiver device to the

Connecting a digital sound bar to use Audio Return Channel (ARC) If you’d like to use the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature to have sound sent from the TV back down an HDMI cable to a digital sound bar, then you will need to connect the cable to the HDMI / ARC port. By using this feature, you will also be able to control the sound bar with your TV remote instead of using multiple remotes for each device.

Connecting Your TV to a Wireless or Wired Network You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to access the Internet. For more information about the network settings on TV, see Network & Internet on page 25

Connecting to a wireless network Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 ac/b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that you use an IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac router. When you play a video over an IEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly. NOTES

• You must use the built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the set does not support an external USB network adapter.

• To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.

• Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.

• If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.

• If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the TV will not support a connection in compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.

• If your access point (AP) supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can connect to the network via Push Button Configuration (PBC) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID and WPA key in either mode. Connecting to a wired (Ethernet) network You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways: Option 1 You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 LAN cable. See the illustration below. Wireless Adapterbuilt-in the TV set LAN CableWireless RouterThe LAN Port on the WallExternal Modem(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV) The Modem Port on the WallEthernet Cable Modem Cable LAN TV PORT10

ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL

Option 2 You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection. See the illustration below. Option 3 Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Ethernet cable. See the diagram below. If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks. Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). NOTE

• You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.
