Connecting external equipment with an HDMI® cable
If possible, connect your devices using HDMI® cables (not provided). They help to provide the
best video quality and also carry audio signals, so that only one cable is needed. For better
picture quality, we recommend that you use cables designated as High Speed HDMI® Cables.
Tip: You might need to configure the device to send its signal through its HDMI® connector.
The connector labeled HDMI (ARC) has the additional ability to use the audio return channel
to send digital audio to a receiver or soundbar, as explained in Connecting an AV receiver or
digital soundbar. Only on select models: The connector labeled HDMI (eARC) provides the
same functionality as the HDMI ARC connector, plus the ability to pass through full-resolution
sound formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from and to devices that support these
formats, without additional processing by the TV.
Additional details are provided in Choosing an audio format.
Connecting headphones or analog soundbar
You can connect headphones or an analog soundbar (not provided) to the TV’s headphone
jack.
Tip: Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in speakers.
Warning: Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest
volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not aected by TV volume or
mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want
to use your amplifier or soundbar to control the TV volume. To turn o the TV’s built-in
speakers, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and
change the setting.
