About Connections

Connectivity Guide
Always connect a device to the display with the
highest quality connection available. Also, use good
quality cables to ensure a good transfer of picture
and sound.
When you connect a device, the display recognizes
its type and gives each device a correct type name.
You can change the type name if you wish. If a
correct type name for a device is set, the display
automatically switches to the ideal display settings
when you switch to this device in the Sources menu.
Internet
Data input from the Internet.
LAN transfer rate:
Supports networks with a speed up to 100/10 Mbps.
HDMI ports
HDMI Quality
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound
quality. One HDMI cable combines video and audio
signals.
For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.
If a device connected with HDMI is not working
correctly, 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.
Copy protection
HDMI ports support HDCP 2.2 (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).
HDMI ARC and eARC
All of the HDMI connections on the display have
HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel).
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
soundbar or AV receiver, also has the HDMI ARC
connection, connect it to any of the HDMI
connections on this display. With the HDMI ARC
connection, you do not need to connect the extra
audio cable that sends the sound of the display
picture to the HTS. The HDMI ARC connection
combines both signals.
You can use any HDMI connection on this display to
connect the HTS but ARC is only available for 1
device/connection at a time
HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an
advancement over the previous ARC. It covers all ARC
features but with higher bandwidth and speed. eARC
supports high quality audio transmission up to192kHz,
24-bit, uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1, and 32-channel
uncompressed audio.
Note: HDMI eARC is only available on HDMI 2. Use
HDMI cable with Ethernet for eARC. Only 1 eARC
device is available at a time.
