Connecting external devices
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 be\
st possible 
audiovisual quality to maximise the potential of the TV and the connecte\
d device.

The HDMI connections 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.
