1.3. Ultra HD
Your Smart TV features “Ultra HD” technology. This means that it can play back high-resolution im-
ages with four times the resolution of Full HD. An Ultra HDTV signal is required.
1.3.1. HDR (High Dynamic Range)
HDR technology provides a greater dynamic range in terms of the brightness of the colours shown.
That means that every colour value reproduced can be displayed in 1024 shades instead of the pre-
vious maximum of 256. This fourfold increase in the dynamic range makes the darkest areas of the
picture even darker and the brightest areas even brighter. It creates a more realistic impression and
makes details visible that were previously unrecognisable with a smaller brightness range. The sta-
tion, streaming service or hardware of the connected device must support HDR and Blu-ray must
be supported.
If HDR content is to be played back, select the HDMI inputs in the SOURCES > SOURCE SET
TINGS menu and then the ENHANCED setting.

Use a standard HDMI cable:
Connect the corresponding HDMI ports of the devices used with an HDMI cable.
5.7.3. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel)
If you want to use a TV set as a signal receiver AND signal source (to transmit an audio signal to an
audio receiver), you must use the HDMI2 port with audio return channel (ARC). The HDMI connec-
tion to the TV then works in both directions. It can receive image and sound signals from a video
device and the audio signal of the TV set can also be sent to the audio receive via the audio return
channel.
Connect the video device (e.g. Blu-ray player) to the audio receiver via HDMI.
Connect the audio receiver to the TV set via HDMI/ARC.
Take care to ensure that the speaker control of the TV set is routed to the external amplifier.
5.7.4. HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
CEC is the abbreviation for Consumer Electronics Control. If you connect different devices via
CEC-enabled HDMI connections, you can control certain functions of the entire HDMI network with
a single remote control (e.g. standby or record functions):
Connect all devices via CEC-enabled HDMI ports with HDMI cables. The HDMI ports on your TV
set are all CEC-enabled.
Take care to ensure that the CEC functions are enabled for all ports and that all devices are con-
nected accordingly.
5.7.5. USB
A USB port can be used to connect and read storage media such as USB sticks or external hard
drives. Use a suitable USB cable. If a suitable USB cable is supplied, you should use this (e.g. for hard
drives). Always verify the power consumption of the USB storage medium used and use the corre-
sponding USB connections.
Connect the corresponding USB ports of the devices used with a suitable USB cable. Whenever
possible, do not use a USB extension cord as this can cause problems, depending on the voltage.
5.7.6. SPDIF
SPDIF (Sony®/Phillips digital interface) is an interface for transferring digital stereo or multi-chan-
nel audio signals between various devices. Usually, the digital audio signal is output via a coaxial
(cinch) or an optical connection. Your TV features an optical SPDIF port. Use a standard, optical SP-
DIF cable.
Connect the corresponding SPDIF ports of the devices used with a corresponding SPDIF cable.
5.7.7. VGA (PC)

The VGA connection of your TV can be used for the video transmission of the YPbPr signal. Use a
suitable YPbPr adapter.
Connect the VGA port of your TV to the YPbPr cinch connections (red/blue/green) of the video
device. Use the supplied YPbPr adapter (optional).
Use the AV audio connections of your TV set (red/white) for audio transmission and connect
them with the YPbPr audio connections of the video device (red/white). Use the supplied AV
adapter (optional).
5.7.9. LAN
You can connect the TV set to the Internet via the LAN connection and receive online content (e.g.
streaming services) via your device.
Connect the LAN connection of the TV set to your network or router using a network cable (Eth-
ernet cable).
Make all the necessary network settings on the devices.
5.7.10. Headphone output (Headphones Out)
The headphone socket is used for connecting a pair of headphones with a stereo mini jack connec-
tion.
