the audio input on the Home Theatre System.
Sound should be heard from the HTS speakers.
• Some devices may require you to manually enable
HDMI audio output. If HDMI audio is already enabled,
but you still do not hear audio, try changing the digital
audio format of the device to PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation). Refer to the documentation
accompanying your device for instructions.
Ambilight
Some Ambilight projectors don't work
After a sudden power failure, some of the Ambilight
projectors might not switch on again. Simply pull out
the power plug from the power outlet and insert it
back again after 10 seconds. All projectors should
work again. No need to switch off the TV first.
HDMI and USB
HDMI
• Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) support can delay the time taken for a TV
to display content from an HDMI device.
• If the TV does not recognise the HDMI device and
no picture is displayed, switch the source from one
device to another and back again.
• If the picture and sound of a device connected with
HDMI is distorted, check if a different HDMI Ultra
HD setting can solve this problem. In Help, press the
colour key
Keywords and look up HDMI Ultra
HD.
• If there are intermittent sound disruptions, make
sure that output settings from the HDMI device are
correct.
• If you use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or HDMI-to-DVI
cable, make sure that an additional audio cable is
connected to AUDIO IN (mini-jack only), if available.
HDMI EasyLink does not work
• Make sure that your HDMI devices are HDMI-CEC
compatible. EasyLink features only work with devices
that are HDMI-CEC compatible.
