Making a Connection
Connect your MHL device (e.g. smartphone, tablet) with MHL output to the TV's HDMI IN 2/MHL port or HDMI IN 4/MHL port, using an MHL cable. If your MHL device supports 4K output, connect it to the HDMI IN 2/MHL port to display 4K resolution images.
* Be sure to use an authorized MHL 2 or MHL 3 cable bearing the MHL logo.
