Connecting A Device With An Hdmi Cable; Connecting Headphones Or Analog Sound Bar - Hitachi 55R7 Owner's Manual

Connecting a device with an HDMI cable

If possible, connect your devices using HDMI cables (not provided). They help to provide the best video quality and also
carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better picture quality, we recommend that you use cables desig-
nated as High Speed HDMI cables.
Tip: You might need to configure the component to send its signal through its HDMI connector.
The connector labeled HDMI IN (ARC) has the additional ability to use the Audio Return Channel to send digital audio to
a receiver or sound bar, as explained in

Connecting headphones or analog sound bar

You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (not provided) to the TV's headphone jack.
Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV's built-in speakers.
Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume setting on your
headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings and does not
disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or sound bar to control the TV volume.
To turn off the TV's built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change
the setting.
