CEC
With CEC function of your TV you can operate a
connected device with the TV remote control. This
function uses HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) to communicate with the connected devices.
Devices must support HDMI CEC and must be
connected with an HDMI connection.
In order to make use of the CEC functionality the
related option in the menu should be switched on.
To check, switch on or off the CEC function, do the
following:
• Enter the Settings>Channels & Inputs>Inputs
menu on the Dashboard or the TV options>Set-
tings>Channels & Inputs>Inputs menu in Live
TV mode.
• Scroll down to the Consumer Electronic Control
(CEC) section. Check if the HDMI control option is
switched on.
• Highlight the HDMI control option and press OK to
switch on or off.
Make sure that all CEC settings are properly set up
on the connected CEC device. The CEC functionality
has different names on different brands. CEC function
might not work with all devices. If you connect a device
with HDMI CEC support to your TV, the related HDMI
input source will be renamed with the connected
device's name.
To operate the connected CEC device, select the
related HDMI input source from the Inputs menu on
the Dashboard. Or press the Source button if the TV
is in Live TV mode and select the related HDMI input
source from the list. To terminate this operation and
control the TV via the remote again, press the Source
button, which will still be functional, on the remote and
switch to another source.
The TV remote is automatically able to control the
device once the connected HDMI source has been
selected. However not all buttons will be forwarded
to the device. Only devices that support CEC Remote
Control function will respond to the TV remote control.
The TV supports also eARC (Enhanced Audio Return
Channel) feature. 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.
In order to activate ARC feature the eARC option
should be set as Auto. You can access this option
from the TV options>Sound menu in Live TV mode or
from the Settings>Display & Sound>Sound menu on
the Dashboard. When eARC is active, TV will mute its
other audio outputs automatically. So you will hear
audio from the connected audio device only. The
volume control buttons of the remote will be directed
to the connected audio device and you will be able to
control the volume of the connected device with your
TV remote.
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).
Note: eARC is supported only via the HDMI2 input.
