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):

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.
1. Connect a USB device into the USB port.
2. Select the content you want to play or view. For
more information, see Media on page 30.
NOTES
• 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.
• The USB port supports a voltage of 5V.

1. Use an audio cable to connect the digital audio in port of the audio receiver device to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port
of the TV.
2. Plug the connected devices into the main power socket before switching on the TV.
TIP: If you prefer to use Audio Return Channel, then see Connecting a digital sound bar to use Audio Return Channel

to the Settings / Menu > Sound > Advanced Settings > Digital Audio Out to select Dolby Digital to receive the
Dolby Digital audio.
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.
To connect a digital sound bar with an HDMI cable (not provided):
1. Connect the cable that’s attached to the sound bar to the HDMI / ARC port on the TV.
2. Turn on the sound bar by pressing the Power button.

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 24.
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.
