Before connecting ...
• Be sure to turn off the TV and any devices before
making any connections.
• Firmly connect a cable to a terminal or terminals.
• Carefully read the operation manual of each external
device for possible connection types. This also
helps you get the best possible audiovisual quality to
maximise the potential of the TV and the connected
device.
HDMI connection

Blu-ray player/recorder
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The
digital picture and sound data are transmitted without
data compression and therefore lose none of their
quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.
