Antenna
If you have a Set-top box (a digital receiver) or Recorder,

this way, the antenna and the Set-top box can send possible
additional channels to the Recorder to record.

EasyLink HDMI CEC
If your devices are connected with HDMI and have EasyLink, you
can operate them with the TV remote control. EasyLink HDMI
CEC must be switched On on the TV and the connected
device.

look up EasyLink CEC.
DVI to HDMI
Use a DVI to HDMI adapter if your device only has a DVI
connection. Use one of the HDMI connections and add an
Audio L/R cable (mini-jack 3.5mm) to AUDIO IN for sound, on
the back of the TV.

DVI and HDMI cables support HDCP (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).

If the device, typically a Home Theatre Sysytem (HTS), also has
the HDMI ARC connection, connect it to any of the HDMI
connections on this TV. With the HDMI ARC connection, you

sound of the TV picture to the HTS. The HDMI ARC
connection combines both signals.
You can use any HDMI connection on this TV to connect the
HTS but ARC is only available for 1 device/connection at a time.
In case you prefer to switch off ARC on the HDMI connections,
