5.2 About cables
Cable quality
Before you connect devices to the TV, check which connectors are
available on the device. Connect the device to the TV with the
highest quality connection available. Good quality cables ensure a
good transfer of picture and sound. Read the other chapters of
About cables.
The connections diagrams shown in Help > Connections >
Connect devices are recommendations. Other solutions are
possible.
HDMI
An HDMI connection has the best picture and sound quality. One
HDMI cable combines video and audio signals. Use an HDMI cable
for High Definition (HD) TV signals. An HDMI cable transfers picture
and sound signals in only one direction. Do not use an HDMI cable
longer than 5m.
EasyLink HDMI-CEC
If your devices are connected with HDMI and have EasyLink, you can
operate them with the TV remote control. Read more about
EasyLink in Help > Setup > Devices > EasyLink HDMI-CEC.
HDMI-ARC
If you have a Home Theatre System with an HDMI-ARC (Audio
Return Channel) connection, you can connect this device with the
TV with only a HDMI cable. Use the HDMI1 ARC connection.
You can skip the audio cable that is added normally (the cable that
connects the TV Digital audio Out to the device Digital audio In).
The return audio connection in this HDMI-ARC connector is built-
in. You do not need a special HDMI cable.
You can leave the ARC channel switched on if you use the
additional digital audio cable. Still you can switch off HDMI-ARC. To
switch off the ARC in the HDMI 1 connection, press h > Setup >
TV settings > EasyLink > HDMI 1 ARC, select Off and press OK.
DVI to HDMI
Use a DVI to HDMI adapter if your device only has a DVI
connection. Use one of the HDMI connections and add an Audio
L/R cable to Audio In VGA/HDMI for sound, on the back of the TV.
Copy protection
A DVI and HDMI cable support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents Protection). HDCP is a copy protection signal that
prevents copying content from a DVD disc or Blu-ray Disc. Also
referred to as DRM (Digital Rights Managament).
Y Pb Pr
Use the Component Video YPbPr connection together with an
Audio Left and Right connection for sound.
Match the YPbPr connector colours with the cable plugs when you
connect. YPbPr can handle High Definition (HD) TV signals.
Scart
A scart cable combines video and audio signals. Scart connectors can
handle RGB video signals but cannot handle High Definition (HD)
TV signals.
