Media Playback via USB Input

You can connect 2.5" and 3.5" inch (hdd with external power
supply) external hard disk drives or USB memory stick to your
TV by using the USB inputs of the TV.
IMPORTANT! Back up the files on your storage devices
before connecting them to the TV. Manufacturer will
not be responsible for any file damage or data loss.
Certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3 Players)
or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may not be
compatible with this TV. The TV supports FAT32 and
NTFS disk formatting.
Wait a little while before each plugging and unplugging
as the player may still be reading files. Failure to do
so may cause physical damage to the USB player
and the USB device itself. Do not pull out your drive
while playing a file.
You can use USB hubs with your TV's USB inputs.
External power supplied USB hubs are recommended
in such a case.
It is recommended to use the TV's USB input(s)
directly, if you are going to connect a USB hard disk.
Note: When viewing image files the Media Player menu
can only display 1000 image files stored on the connected
USB device.

CEC and CEC RC Passthrough

This function allows to control the CEC-enabled
devices, that are connected through HDMI ports by
using the remote control of the TV.
The CEC option in the Setup>More menu should be
set as Enabled at first. Press the Source button and
select the HDMI input of the connected CEC device
from the Sources List menu. When new CEC source
device is connected, it will be listed in source menu
with its own name instead of the connected HDMI
ports name(such as DVD Player, Recorder 1 etc.).
The TV remote is automatically able to perform the
main functions after the connected HDMI source has
been selected.
To terminate this operation and control the TV via
the remote again, press Quick Menu button on the
remote, highlight the CEC RC Passthrough and
set as Off by pressing Left or Right button. This
feature can also be enabled or disabled under the
Setup>More menu.
The TV supports also ARC(Audio Return Channel)
feature. This feature is an audio link meant to replace
other cables between the TV and the audio system
(A/V receiver or speaker system).
When ARC is active, TV does not mute its other audio
outputs automatically. So you need to decrease TV
volume to zero manually, if you want to hear audio
from connected audio device only (same as other
optical or co-axial digital audio outputs). If you want
to change connected device's volume level, you
should select that device from the source list. In that
case volume control keys are directed to connected
audio device.
Note: ARC is supported only via the HDMI1 input.
System Audio Control
Allows an Audio Amplifier/Receiver to be used with
the TV. The volume can be controlled using the
remote control of the TV. To activate this feature set
the Speakers option in the Setup>More menu as
Amplifier. The TV speakers will be muted and the
sound of the watched source will be provided from
the connected sound system.
Note: The audio device should support System Audio Control
feature and CEC option should be set as Enabled.
