Connecting Devices to your TV

You have several options for connecting your TV to different devices. The method in which you connect will be based upon the type of cables you have and the available outputs on your device.

Connecting an antenna, cable set-top box or satellite receiver

To connect an antenna, cable set-top box or satellite receiver:

1. Connect one end of a coaxial cable (not provided) to the RF OUT port on the antenna, cable or satellite box. If you are using an antenna with twin-lead cable, you may need a 300-75 Ohm adapter (not provided) to connect it to the back of your TV. Likewise, if you are using several antennas, you may need a combiner (not provided).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the ANT/CABLE port of your TV.

Connecting an AV device with a composite video cable

To connect an AV device with a composite video cable (not provided):

1. Use the audio and video cables to connect the composite video/audio ports (of the external AV device) to the AV IN ports of the TV. (Video = yellow or green, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red).
2. Plug the connected devices into the AV connectors on the TV before switching it on.
3. Using your remote, press the [INPUT] button and select AV as the input source.

Connecting an AV device with a component video cable

1. Use a component video cable (not provided) to connect the component output ports of the external device to the YPBPR ports for the TV. Use an audio cable to connect the component audio ports of the external device to the TV AUDIO (L / R) ports.

2. Plug the connected devices into the YPBPR and L/R ports on the TV before switching it on.

3. Using your remote, press the [INPUT] button and select COMPONENT as the input source.

Connecting an AV device with an HDMI cable

This type of connection supports digital connections between HDMI-enabled AV devices such as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), DVD, Blu-Ray, AV receiver and digital devices. In addition, some devices (such as a PVR or DVD player) require an HDMI signal to be set to Output in the settings of the device.

Please refer to the User Manual that came with your device for step-by-step instructions.

To connect an AV device with an HDMI cable:

1. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output port of the AV device to the HDMI port of the TV.
2. Plug the connected devices into the power socket.
3. Using your remote, press the [INPUT] button and select the corresponding HDMI input.

NOTE: Because the HDMI connector provides video and audio signals, it is not necessary to connect an audio cable.

Connecting headphones

You can connect headphones to the ? /AUDIO OUT port on your TV. While the headphone is connected, the sound from the built-in speakers will be disabled.

NOTE: The AUDIO OUT port only applies for some TV models.

Connecting speakers (or other audio receivers)

To connect speakers (or other audio receivers) with an audio cable:

1. Use an audio cable (not provided) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO IN port of the audio receiver device to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port of the TV. Another option is to use an RCA Y-cable (1/8"-stereo mini to L/R phone - not provided) to connect an analog sound system to the AUDIO OUT port of the TV.

• When a digital audio system is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port, decrease the TV and system volume.
• 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device that supports a 5.1 channel surround sound (5.1 CH).
• When the receiver (home theater) is set to 'ON', you can hear sound output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port of the TV.
• When the TV is receiving a Digital Television (DTV) signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theater receiver. When the source is connected to the TV via HDMI, you will only hear 2 CH audio from the home theater receiver. If you want to hear 5.1CH audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port from your DVD/Blu-ray player/cable box/STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.
• TV SETTINGS > Audio > Advanced Audio > Digital Audio Out must be set to either PCM or Dolby Digital / Bitstream.

Connecting a digital sound bar to use ARC (Audio Return Channel)

If you'd like to use the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature to have sound sent from the TV back down an HDMI cable to a digital soundbar, then you will need to connect the cable to the HDMI (ARC) port. By using this feature, you will also be able to control the soundbar with your TV remote instead of having to use multiple remotes for each device.

NOTE: Only digital sound bars that require a wired connection are compatible with the Smart TV.

Once you have completed these steps, then proceed to complete the first time set up menu (see the 'First Time Setup Menu' section of this User Manual) to configure your TV settings. After you're done completing the first time set up, then you will hear audio from live TV (or other content) from your sound bar.

Connecting your TV to a Wired or Wireless Network

You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to access the Internet.

Connecting to a Wireless Network

Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that you use an IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.

NOTES:

• You must use the Hisense built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the set does not support an external USB network adapter.
• To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
• Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
• If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.
• If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the Hisense TV will not support a connection in compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.

Connecting to a Wired (Ethernet) Network

You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:

Option 1.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using an Ethernet cable. See the figure below.

Option 2.

You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection. See the figure below.

Option 3.

Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Ethernet cable. See the figure below.

If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you don't have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.

Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV's Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

NOTE: You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.

Connecting your devices to stream content

Streaming Content Between Your Mobile Phone or Laptop and the TV

Due to the advancement of technology, different types of devices can connect, discover and communicate with each other over a home network. For more details about this technology, refer to the Digital Living Network Alliance®.

If you want to stream your personal content (music, videos, photos) stored on your mobile phone or laptop to the TV, then you can do it through a few simple steps.

From a laptop

To stream content between most Windows-based laptops and your TV:

1. Download the free Twonky™ Beam app to your laptop. This app enables users to transfer content from their laptop or mobile phone to a television. For more information about the app, visit www.twonky.com.

3. From your laptop, go to Windows Media Player.
4. From the menu bar of your laptop, click on Stream > Turn on Media Streaming. A Media Streaming options window displays on your laptop screen.

Customizing the name of your TV to identify it

If you have several TV's in your home then you may want to customize the name of your Hisense Smart TV. By giving your TV a name, it will make it easier for you to identify it when connecting devices to the TV to stream or mirror content.

To customize the name of your TV:

1. Press [ ] on your remote. The TV Settings menu displays on the left side of the screen.
2. From Setup go to Network > TV Name.
3. Press [OK] on your remote to bring up the onscreen keyboard.

Software updates for your TV

The software (also referred to as firmware) is part of what powers your TV. Because Hisense will provide software updates to continuously enhance your TV and correct any issues, we recommend that you update your TV software when a new version is available.

You have two options to update the software for your TV. You can choose to receive software notification updates for your TV automatically or check for software updates manually.

Checking for updates automatically

To receive software notification updates automatically, your TV must be turned 'On' and connected to the Internet. The Auto Upgrade setting (which enables your TV to receive the updates automatically) is turned to 'On' by factory default. If you turn the Auto Upgrade setting 'Off', it will disable this functionality of your TV. More information about this setting and how to locate it is explained later in this section.

While your TV is on, it automatically checks for updates. If an update is available, a notification (in the form of a dialog message) will appear in the middle of the screen. If you choose to view notes about what is included in the update, then click on OK and you will be taken to a View update details screen. After you view the notes, click on OK and the software update will begin to download.

If the download is completed successfully, then a confirmation message will display and you will be prompted to restart the TV by clicking on OK.

NOTE: If you don't click on OK, then the TV system will time out after 10 seconds and restart itself.

If you choose to wait until later to begin the update then click on Cancel and you will see this notification the next time you turn on your TV.

Checking for updates manually

If (for some reason) you do not want your TV to automatically check for updates and to receive notifications when they are available, then:

1. Using your remote, press ⚙️.
2. Go to Setup > About TV > Auto Firmware Upgrade.
3. Press [OK] to turn the Auto Upgrade setting 'Off'.

By doing this, you will have to manually check to see if you have the latest software update.

To manually check for the latest firmware:

1. Using your remote, press ⚙️.
2. Go to Setup > About TV > Check Firmware Upgrade.

Using a USB flash drive (also called a ‘Thumb Drive', 'Jump Drive' or ‘Memory Stick') to install software updates

If you have not kept your TV connected to the Internet or turned the Auto Upgrade feature 'Off' then download the new software to your USB drive from www.hisense-usa.com/support/firmware.asp.

You will need your Model Number to search for available firmware. Once you're on the firmware page of the Hisense website, follow the steps that display.
