About cables

Cable quality
Overview
Before you connect devices to the TV, check
the available connectors on the device.
Connect the device to the TV with the
highest quality connection available. Good
quality cables ensure a good transfer of
picture and sound.
The connections shown in this user manual
are recommendations only. Other solutions
are possible.
Tip: If your device only has composite or
RCA connectors, use a SCART-cinch
adapter to connect the device to a SCART
connector on the TV.
HDMI
An HDMI connection has the best picture
and sound quality.
• An HDMI cable combines video and
audio signals. Use HDMI for high-
definition (HD) TV signals, and to
enable EasyLink.
• An HDMI Audio Return Channel
(ARC) connector allows output of TV
audio to an HDMI ARC compliant
device.
• Do not use an HDMI cable longer than
5 meters / 16.4 feet.
Y Pb Pr
Use the Component Video (Y Pb Pr)
connection together with an Audio Left and
Right connection for sound.
Y Pb Pr can handle high-definition (HD) TV
signals.
Match the Y Pb Pr connector colours to the
cable plugs.
