MHL
This Smart TV supports MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) via an MHL cable. Connect an MHL cable to 
the mobile device and the TV. However, MHL is only available through the TV's HDMI (MHL) port and 
only when used in conjunction with an MHL-enabled mobile device.
This feature is only available with MHL-certified mobile devices. To find out if your mobile device is 
certified, visit its manufacturer's website. You can also view a list of MHL-certified devices on the 
official MHL website (http://www.mhlconsortium.org).
MHL USE
Connect an MHL cable to the mobile device and the TV. Press the SOURCE  button and then select the 
MHL connector to display the mobile device's screen on the TV. The following remote panel functions 
will also be available:

\206 (REW), 
\205 (FF), 
0098 (Play),

009C (Stop), 
e (Previous

Restrictions
MHL has several requirements:
 
●If you are using an HDMI adapter, the TV recognizes the signal as an HDMI signal and may 
respond differently than it would to an MHL-to-HDMI cable connection.
 
●Upgrade the software to the latest version.
 
●This product is officially MHL-certified. If users encounter any problem when using the MHL 
function, they must contact the manufacturer of the device.
 
●Some mobile devices may not have sufficient specifications or features to support MHL.
 
●Because the TV screen is wider than most mobile device screens, the picture quality may appear 
lower on the TV.
