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.

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 display signal.
For best signal quality transfer, use a High speed
HDMI cable and do not use an HDMI cable longer
than 5 m.
Copy protection
HDMI cables 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
All of the HDMI connections on the display
have
HDMI ARC
.
If the device, typically a Home Theatre System (HTS),
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.
