A television may fall, causing serious personal injury

or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be

avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

 ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting

methods recommended by the manufacturer of the

television set.

 ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the

television set.

 ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging

the edge of the supporting furniture.

 ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the television set or

its controls.

 ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your

television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or

grabbed.

 NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without

anchoring both the furniture and the television set

to a suitable support.

 NEVER place the television set on cloth or other

Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the

building installation through the MAINS connection or

through other apparatus with a connection to protective

earthing – and to a television distribution system using

coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire

Ultra HD (UHD)

TV supports Ultra HD (Ultra High Definition - also

known as 4K) which provides resolution of 3840 x

2160 (4K:2K). It equals 4 times the resolution of Full

HD TV by doubling the pixel count of the Full HD

TV both horizontally and vertically. Ultra HD content

is supported via native and market applications,

HDMI, USB input(s) and over DVB-T2 and DVB-S2

broadcasts.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) / Hybrid Log-Gamma

(HLG)

Using this feature the TV can reproduce greater

dynamic range of luminosity by capturing and then

combining several different exposures. HDR/HLG

promises better picture quality thanks to brighter, more

realistic highlights, more realistic colour and other

improvements. It delivers the look that filmmakers

intended to achieve, showing the hidden areas of

dark shadows and sunlight with full clarity, colour

and detail. HDR/HLG content is supported via native

and market applications, HDMI, USB inputs and over

DVB-S broadcasts. Set the related HDMI source

input as Enhanced from the Sources option in the

Settings>System menu or from the Sources>Source

Settings menu in order to watch HDR/HLG content,

if the HDR/HLG content is received through an HDMI

input. The source device should also be at least HDMI

2.0a compatible in this case.

Dolby Vision

Dolby Vision™ delivers a dramatic visual experience,

astonishing brightness, exceptional contrast, and vivid

colour, that brings entertainment to life. It achieves this

stunning image quality by combining HDR and wide

colour gamut imaging technologies. By increasing the

brightness of the original signal and using a higher

dynamic colour and contrast range, Dolby Vision

presents amazing true-to-life images with stunning

detail that other post-processing technologies in the TV

aren’t able to produce. Dolby Vision is supported via

native and market applications, HDMI and USB inputs.

Set the related HDMI source input as Enhanced from

the Sources option in the Settings>System menu or

from the Sources>Source Settings menu in order to

watch Dolby Vision content, if the Dolby Vision content

is received through an HDMI input. The source device

should also be at least HDMI 2.0a compatible in this

case. In the Settings>Picture>Mode menu two pre-

defined picture modes will be available if Dolby Vision

content is detected: Dolby Vision Bright and Dolby

Vision Dark. Both allow the user to experience the

content in the way the creator originally intended with

different ambient lighting conditions.

CEC

This function allows the user to control the CEC-

enabled devices, that are connected through HDMI

ports by using the remote control of the TV.

The CEC option in the Settings>Devices menu should

be set as Enabled at first. Press the Source button and

select the HDMI input of the connected CEC device

from the Sources List menu. When a new CEC source

device is connected, it will be listed in Sources menu

with its own name instead of the connected HDMI

port’s name (such as DVD Player, Recorder 1, etc.).

The TV remote is automatically able to perform the

main functions after the connected HDMI source has

been selected. To terminate this operation and control

the TV via the remote again, press and hold the “0-

Zero” button on the remote control for 3 seconds.

You can disable the CEC functionality by setting the

related option under the Settings>Devices menu

accordingly.

The TV supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). This

feature is an audio link meant to replace other cables

between the TV and an audio system (A/V receiver or

speaker system).

When ARC is active, the TV will mute its other audio

outputs, except the headphone jack, automatically and

volume control buttons are directed to the connected

audio device. To activate ARC set the Sound Output

option in the Settings>Sound menu as HDMI ARC.

Note: ARC is supported only via the HDMI2 input.

Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)

Similar to ARC, the eARC feature enables the transfer

of the digital audio stream from your TV to a connected

audio device via the HDMI cable. eARC is an improved

version of ARC. It has a much higher bandwidth than

its predecessor. Bandwidth represents the range of

frequencies or amount of data that is being transferred

at a time. Higher bandwidth translates into a higher

amount of data that can be transferred. Higher

bandwidth also means that digital audio signal doesn’t

have to be compressed and is much more detailed,

rich, and vibrant.

When eARC is enabled from the sound menu, TV

first tries to establish eARC link. If eARC is supported

by the connected device, the output turns into eARC

mode and the “eARC” indicator can be observed on

the connected device’s OSD. If an eARC link cannot

be established (for example, the connected device

is not supporting eARC but supporting ARC only) or

if eARC is disabled from the sound menu, then TV

initiates ARC.

For eARC to function properly;

 The connected audio device should also support eARC.

 Some HDMI cables do not have enough bandwidth to

carry high-bit-rate audio channels, use an HDMI cable

with eARC support (HDMI High Speed Cables with

Ethernet and the new Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable

- check hdmi.org for latest info).

 Set the Sound Output option in the Settings>Sound

menu to HDMI ARC. The eARC option in the Sound

menu will be enabled. Check to see if it is set to On.

If not, set it to On.

Note: eARC is supported only via the HDMI2 input.

System Audio Control

Allows an Audio Amplifier/Receiver to be used with

the TV. The volume can be controlled using the re-

mote control of the TV. To activate this feature set the

Sound Output option in the Settings>Sound menu

as HDMI ARC. When HDMI ARC option is selected,

CEC option will be set as Enabled automatically, if it

is not already set. The TV speakers will be muted and

the sound of the watched source will be provided from

the connected sound system.

Note: The audio device should support System Audio Control

feature.

Game Mode

You can set your TV to achieve lowest latency for

games. Go to Settings>Picture menu and set the

Mode option to Game. Game option will be available

when the TV’s input source is set to HDMI. When set

the picture will be optimised for low latency.

Auto Low Latency Mode

You can also enable the ALLM (Auto Low Latency

Mode) option in the Settings>Devices menu. If this

function is enabled the TV automatically switches the

picture mode to Game when ALLM mode signal is

received from the current HDMI source. TV switches

back to previous picture mode setting when the ALLM

signal is lost. So you won’t need to change the settings

manually.

If the ALLM option is enabled, picture mode can not

be changed as long as ALLM signal is received from

the current HDMI source.

In order for the ALLM feature to be functional the related

HDMI source setting should be set to Enhanced. You can

change this setting from the Sources>Source Settings

menu or from the Settings>System>Sources menu.

E-Manual

You can find instructions for your TV’s features in the

E-Manual.

To access the E-Manual, enter Settings menu, select

Manuals and press OK. For quick access press Home

button and then Info button.

By using the directional buttons select a desired

topic and press OK to read instructions. To close the

E-Manual screen press the Exit or Home button.

Note: Depending on model, your TV may not support this

function. The content of the E-Manual may vary according

to the model.
