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 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.
To connect an audio amp or sound bar at the same time, refer to HDMI connection (eARC supported) in Connecting an audio system.
To adjust the video and audio output timing, refer to Adjusting the AV sync setting.
