Getting started

Installation tips

Turn off all devices (TV and HDMI sources) before connecting them to the Connect 621 UHD 2.0TM. If a device cannot be turned off, please remove the plug from the socket.
Only use High Speed HDMI® certified cables for the best picture and sound quality. Using too much force to connect or disconnect the HDMI cables may damage them.
Please be careful when connecting your HDMI cables. These damage easily.

Installation

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI sources (such as game consoles, Bluray players and Digital TV Decoders) to the HDMI ports marked “HDMI input”.
Use an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the HDMI port marked “HDMI output”. To use the ARC function, your TV should support it. Please refer to your TV’s manual to check which HDMI port supports ARC.
Connect the AV receiver to the combined digital/analogue output marked “Audio out”.
- Use an optical cable along with the included Toslink adapter for “Digital Audio”. This output supports the audio formats DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital/AC-3 and PCM stereo.
- Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack cable for “Analogue baudio”. This output supports analogue stereo audio formats.
Connect the power adapter to the “DC 5V” and insert the plug into the socket.
Pull the plastic strip from the remote control’s battery compartment to activate the battery and remove the protective film from the top.

Use

Manual or automatic switching

The Connect 621 UHD 2.0TM allows you to choose which HDMI source is displayed on the TV. If you turn on one of the HDMI sources, it will automatically switch to the correct input. If multiple HDMI sources are turned on, the Connect 621 UHD 2.0TM will automatically switch to the HDMI source that was activated last. To activate or deactivate the AUTO feature, press and hold the AUTO button on either the remote control or the front panel, until the corresponding light switches on or off respectively. If you want to manually select another HDMI source, please use the corresponding button on the remote control or the “Input” button at the front.
Note : Automatic switching must be supported by the HDMI source. If it is not supported, you should manually select the appropriate HDMI source.

Audio settings

Select the desired audio settings by using either the remote control or the front buttons of the Connect 621 UHD 2.0TM.

Audio Return Channel

If your AV amplifier is connected via the “Audio out”, there may be a slight lag between your TV’s image and the sound coming from the AV amplifier. This is caused by image processing on your TV and is sometimes referred to as lip sync problem. The Connect 621 UHD 2.0TM supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). This involves the sound first being sent to the TV, and then returned by your TV at exactly the right moment, using the same HDMI cable. This allows you, without the use of additional wiring or settings, to synchronise images and sound. The “ARC” switch allows you to enable or disable this feature. ARC must be supported by your TV to be able to use this feature. If your TV does not support ARC, you can either turn off image processing on your TV, or delay the audio coming from your AV amplifier or HDMI source. Please refer to your device’s manual for the correct settings.

Audio formats

Select the AUTO feature in standard situations; should you experience any problems, please manually select a different audio format.

AUTO, the HDMI equipment automatically detects the best audio format that is supported by your equipment.
7.1CH, supports all HD audio formats (only through the HDMI output).
