Connecting external equipment with a composite
AV video cable
If the best connection available on your device is AV or composite video output,
connect it to the TV using a composite AV cable (not provided). Composite AV
cables typically have three RCA-type plugs on each end, color coded as follows:
• Yellow – Video
• Red – Audio, right channel
• White or black – Audio, left channel
Connect each plug to the corresponding connector on the device and on the TV.
Note:
Select models have an AV Input that looks like a headphone jack. Use the
breakout cable (included) to adapt this input to the three RCA-type plugs on your
composite cable.
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.
