HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2(ARC), 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN ✎
When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the
x
HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray
player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI
(DVI to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio.
If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver supporting a HDMI
x
versions older than 1.4 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound /
annoying flicker / abnormal colour).
If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you
x
suspect the version is older than 1.4, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and
request an upgrade.
Samsung TVs support the HDMI 1.4 (with 3D and Audio Return Channel). However, the ARC(Audio Return
x
Channel) function is only supported on HDMI IN 2(ARC)
If– 3D Auto View is On, some functions, such as Internet@TV, are disabled. If this is a problem, set 3D Auto
View or 3D Mode to Off.
The ARC function enables digital output of sound using the
x
HDMI IN 2(ARC) port and can only be operated
when the TV is connected to an audio receiver that supports the ARC function.
The ARC Single mode is only enabled when the TV is connected to the device when using HDMI Standard–
cable, HDMI High Speed cable, Hdmi Standard with Ethernet cable, HDMI High Speed with Ethernet cable.
When the Input Source is the TV, the ARC function allows audio to be heard from a receiver. The audio is sent–
to a receiver from the TV via an HDMI cable without the need for a separate optical cable.
It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a
x
connection error may occur.
