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.
Standby Notifications**

source.
CEC
This function allows the user to control the CECenabled devices, that are
connected through HDMI ports by using the remote control of the TV. The CEC
option in the Settings>System>DeviceSettings 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 Listmenu. 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

(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 andvolume 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.

HBBTV
System HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new industry standard that
seamlessly combines TV services delivered via broadcast with services
delivered via 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 broadcaster marks one application as “autostart” and this one
is started by the platform automatically. The autostart applications 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 toggle between
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 is
provided by the application and some applications may 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
HbbTV application 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 First Time Installation this feature might be available in the Settings>System>Privacy>Privacy Settings menu instead of the Settings>System>More menu.
