6.1. 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. Use an HDMI cable for High Definition
(HD) display signals.
For best signal quality transfer, use an Ultra High Speed
certified 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 color key
look up HDMI Ultra HD.
Copy protection
HDMI ports 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).

HDMI ARC and eARC
Only HDMI 2 on the display supports HDMI ARC (Audio
Return Channel) and HDMI eARC.
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
soundbar or AV receiver, also has the HDMI ARC
connection, connect it to HDMI 2 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 Ultra
High-speed HDMI cable for eARC. Only one eARC device
is available at a time.
