Ultra HD (UHD)

TV supports Ultra HD (Ultra High Definition – also known as 4K) which provides resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K:2K). It equals 4 times the resolution of Full HD TV by doubling the pixel count of the Full HD TV both horizontally and vertically. Ultra HD content is supported via native and market applications, HDMI, USB input(s) and over DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 broadcasts.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) / Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)

Using this feature the TV can reproduce greater dynamic range of luminosity by capturing and then combining several different exposures. HDR/HLG promises better picture quality thanks to brighter, more realistic highlights, more realistic colour and other improvements. It delivers the look that filmmakers intended to achieve, showing the hidden areas of dark shadows and sunlight with full clarity, colour and detail. HDR/HLG content is supported via native and market applications, HDMI, USB inputs and over DVB-S broadcasts. Set the related HDMI source input as Enhanced from the Sources option in the Settings>System menu or from the Sources>Source Settings menu in order to watch HDR/HLG content, if the HDR/HLG content is received through an HDMI input. The source device should also be at least HDMI 2.0a compatible in this case.
Dolby Vision ()
** Dolby Vision™ delivers a dramatic visual experience, astonishing brightness, exceptional contrast, and vivid colour, that brings entertainment to life. It achieves this stunning image quality by combining HDR and wide colour gamut imaging technologies. By increasing the brightness of the original signal and using a higher dynamic colour and contrast range, Dolby Vision presents amazing true-to-life images with stunning detail that other post-processing technologies in the TV aren’t able to produce. Dolby Vision is supported via native and market applications, HDMI and USB inputs. Set the related HDMI source input as Enhanced from the Sources option in the Settings>System menu or from the Sources>Source Settings menu in order to watch Dolby Vision content, if the Dolby Vision content is received through an HDMI input. The source device should also be at least HDMI 2.0a compatible in this case. In the Settings>Picture>Mode menu two predefined picture modes will be available if Dolby Vision content is detected: Dolby Vision Bright and Dolby Vision Dark. Both allow the user to experience the content in the way the creator originally intended with different ambient lighting conditions.

Follow Me TV

With your mobile device you can stream the current broadcast from your smart TV using the Follow Me TV feature. Install the appropriate Smart Center application to your mobile device. Start the application.
For further information on using this feature refer to the instructions of the application you use.
Note: Depending on model, your TV may not support this function. The application may not be compatible with all mobile devices. Both of the devices must be connected to the same network. This feature is only functional on TV source.
CEC

This function allows the user to control the Reenabled devices, that are connected through HDMI ports by using the remote control of the TV.
The CEC option in the Settings>System>Device Settings menu should be set as Enabled at first. Press the Source button and select the HDMI input of the connected CEC device from the Sources List menu. When a new CEC source device is connected, it will be listed in Sources menu with its own name instead of the connected HDMI port’s name (such as DVD Player, Recorder 1, etc.).
The TV remote is automatically able to perform the main functions after the connected HDMI source has been selected. To terminate this operation and control the TV via the remote again, press and hold the “0Zero” button on the remote control for 3 seconds.
You can disable the CEC functionality by setting the related option under the Settings>System>Device Settings menu accordingly.
The TV supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). This feature is an audio link meant to replace other cables between the TV and an audio system (A/V receiver or speaker system). When ARC is active, the TV will mute its other audio outputs, except the headphone jack, automatically and volume control buttons are directed to the connected audio device. To activate ARC set the Sound Output option in the Settings>Sound menu as HDMI ARC.
Note: ARC is supported only via the HDMI2 input.
Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)
() 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, the TV first tries to establish an 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 the TV initiates ARC.
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).
  • Set the Sound Output option in the Settings>Sound menu to HDMI ARC. The eARC option in the Sound menu will be enabled. Check to see if it is set to On. If not, set it to On.
    Note: eARC is supported only via the HDMI2 input.

System Audio Control
Allows an Audio Amplifier/Receiver to be used with the TV. The volume can be controlled using the remote control of the TV. To activate this feature set the Sound Output option in the Settings>Sound menu as HDMI ARC. When HDMI ARC option is selected, CEC option will be set as Enabled automatically, if it is not already set. The TV speakers will be muted and the sound of the watched source will be provided from the connected sound system.
Note: The audio device should support System Audio Control feature.

Game Mode

You can set your TV to achieve lowest latency for games. Go to Settings>Picture menu and set the Mode option to Game. Game option will be available when the TV’s input source is set to HDMI. When set the picture will be optimised for low latency.
Auto Low Latency Mode
You can also enable the ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) option in the Settings>System>Device Settings menu. If this function is enabled the TV automatically switches the picture mode to Game when the ALLM mode signal is received from the current HDMI source. TV switches back to previous picture mode setting when the ALLM signal is lost. So you won’t need to change the settings manually.
If the ALLM option is enabled, picture mode can not be changed as long as the ALLM signal is received from the current HDMI source.
In order for the ALLM feature to be functional the related HDMI source setting should be set to Enhanced. You can change this setting from the Sources>Source Settings
menu or from the Settings>System>Sources menu.

Connectivity Troubleshooting

Wireless Network Not Available

  • Ensure that any firewalls of your network allow the TV’s wireless connection.
  • Try searching for wireless networks again, using the Network menu screen.
    If the wireless network does not function properly, try using the wired network in your home. Refer to the Wired Connectivity section for more information on the process.
    If the TV does not function using the wired connection, check the modem (router). If the router does not have a problem, check the internet connection of your modem.

Connection is Slow
See the instruction book of your wireless modem to get information on the internal service area, connection speed, signal quality and other settings. You need to have a high speed connection for your modem. Disruption during playback or slow reactions You could try the following in such a case:
Keep at least three metres distance from microwave ovens, mobile telephones, bluetooth devices or any other WLAN compatible devices. Try changing the active channel on the WLAN router.
Internet Connection Not Available / Audio Video Sharing Not Working
If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of your PC or modem has been permanently registered, it is possible that your TV might not connect to the internet.
In such a case, the MAC address is authenticated each time when you connect to the internet. This is a precaution against unauthorised access. Since your TV has its own MAC address, your internet service provider cannot validate the MAC address of your TV. For this reason, your TV cannot connect to the internet.
Contact your internet service provider and request information on how to connect a different device, such as your TV, to the internet.
It is also possible that the connection may not be available due to a firewall problem. If you think this causes your problem, contact your internet service provider. A firewall might be the reason of a connectivity and discovery problem while using the TV in Audio Video Sharing mode or while browsing via Audio Video Sharing feature.
Invalid Domain
Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC with an authorised username/password and also ensure that your domain is active, prior to sharing any files in your media server program on your PC. If the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while browsing files in Audio Video Sharing mode.

HBBTV System
HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new industry standard that seamlessly combines TVservices delivered via broadcast with services deliveredvia broadband and also enables access to Internet only services for consumers using connected TVs and set- top boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV include traditional broadcast TV channels, catch-up services, video on demand, electronic programme guide,interactive advertising, personalisation, voting, games,social networking and other multimedia applications. HbbTV applications are available on channels where they are signalled by the broadcaster. The broadcastermarks one application as “autostart” and this one is
started by the platform automatically. The autostartapplications are generally launched with a small red button icon to notify the user that there is an HbbTV application on that channel. Press the red button to open the application page. After the page is displayed you can go back to the initial red button icon state by pressing the red button again. You can togglebetween the red button icon mode and full UI mode of the application via pressing red button. It should be noted that the red button switching capability isprovided by the application and some applicationsmay behave differently (other colour buttons such as green, yellow, blue, may be defined for some other
functions, e.g. shortcuts). If you switch to another channel while an HbbTVapplication is active (either in red button icon mode or full UI mode), the following scenarios can occur.

  • The application can continue running.
  • The application can be terminated.
  • The application can be terminated and another autostart red button application can be launched.
    HbbTV allows the applications to be retrieved both from broadband or broadcast. The broadcaster may enable both ways or one of them. If the platform does not have an operational broadband connection, the platform can still launch applications transmitted on broadcast. The autostart red button applications generally provide links to other applications. The user then can switch to other applications by using the links provided. The applications should provide a way to terminate themselves, usually Exit button is used for this. HbbTV applications use keys on the remote control to interact with the user. When an HbbTV application is launched, the control of some keys are owned by the application. For example, numeric channel selection may not work on a teletext application where the numbers indicate teletext pages.
    HbbTV requires AV streaming capability for the platform. There are numerous applications providing VOD (video on demand) and catch-up TV services. The user can use play, pause, stop, forward, and rewind keys on the remote control to interact with the AV content.
    If you need to change the audio description settings of your TV you should do it before a HbbTV playback starts. You will not be able to access related settings during a playback. Go to the Settings>System>Ac- cessibility>Audio Description menu and adjust according to your need.

Note: You can enable or disable this feature from the More menu in Settings>System menu. Depending on the model of your TV and the selected country option in the
