7.1
About Connections
Connectivity Guide
Always connect a device to the TV with the highest
quality connection available. Also, use good quality
cables to ensure a good transfer of picture and
sound.
When you connect a device, the TV recognizes its
type and gives each device a correct type name. You
can change the type name if you wish. If a correct
type name for a device is set, the TV automatically
switches to the ideal TV settings when you switch to
this device in the Sources menu.
Antenna port
If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or
Recorder, connect the antenna cables to run the
antenna signal through the Set-top box and/or
Recorder first before it enters the TV. In this way, the
antenna and the Set-top box can send possible
additional channels to the Recorder to record.
HDMI ports
HDMI Quality
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition (HD)
TV signals.
For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.
Copy protection
HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that prevents copying content from a DVD disc
or Blu-ray Disc. Also referred to as DRM (Digital
Rights Management).
HDMI ARC
Only HDMI 1 connection on the TV has HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel).
If the device, typically a Home Theater System (HTS),
also has the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to
HDMI 1 on this TV. With the HDMI ARC connection,
you do not need to connect the extra audio cable
that sends the sound of the TV picture to the HTS.
The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals.
HDMI CEC
Connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to your TV,
you can operate them with the TV remote control.
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) must be
turned on on the TV and the connected device.

different brands. Some examples are: Anynet, Aquos
Link, Bravia Theatre Sync, Kuro Link, Simplink and
Viera Link. Not all brands are fully compatible with
EasyLink. Example HDMI CEC branding names are
property of their respective owners.

If the sound does not match the video on screen, you
can set a delay on most Home Theater Systems with
a disc player to match the sound with the video.
