Connecting a Blu-ray or DVD player

Connect a Blu-ray/DVD player to the TV.

Use a connection method below based on the terminals available on your TV.

Note

  • The available terminals depend your model/region/country.

Hint

  • You can also connect a set-top box (cable/satellite box) in the same way as a Blu-ray/DVD player.

HDMI connection

For optimum picture quality, we recommend connecting your player to the TV using an HDMI cable. If your Blu-ray/DVD player has an HDMI jack (socket), connect it using an HDMI cable.

    Availability depends on your model/region/country. Refer to the Reference Guide to check if your TV supports HDMI 3 AUDIO IN / HDMI 1 AUDIO IN.
