Many receivers come with HDMI-ARC, HDMI-MHL, and HDMI-UHD ports.
Consider using the HDMI-UHD port for 4K support. Some TVs by default have UHD input
disabled in TV settings, so please make sure that UHD is enabled in the settings for your TV for
this input.
How to Enable HDR on Your TV
Most HDR TVs do not have HDR output enabled by default for HDMI. To enable HDR output
from SHIELD, refer to your TV owner's manual. Here are the settings for some of the common
TVs:
Samsung HDR TVs: Menu > Picture > Picture Options > HDMI UHD Color > On > Restart
LG HDR TVs: Home > HDMI > Settings > Advanced > Picture > HDMI ULTRA DEEP COLOR
> On > Restart
Sony HDR TVs: Home > Settings > External inputs > HDMI signal format > HDMI [select
the SHIELD input] > Enhanced mode (TV will reboot)
Watching Netflix 4K or HDR
To watch Netflix shows in 4K or HDR, you may need to upgrade your Netflix service account to
the "4 screen plan." Consult Netlfix's article on their latest requirements to stream 4K or HDR
content.

AVR / Surround Audio Setup
For Dolby & DTS 5.1, SHIELD TV supports Dolby Digital (AC3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3), Dolby
ATMOS, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS Core Audio Streams in pass-through mode. So, in order
to use Surround Sound, use an AV receiver or HDMI TV that's capable of decoding these audio
streams.
NOTE If your receiver or HDMI TV does not have the capability to decode the
streams, then there may not be any audio.
NOTE Make sure your receiver has been updated with the latest firmware. In some
cases, this can resolve compatibility or audio/video issues.
