This TV’s Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing feature detects the following connections automatically:

•Analog video jacks from inputs 1, 2, and 3

•HDMI inputs (when powered on)

•USB device containing photo and music files (JPG and MP3 formats).

Auto Input Sensing for Most Devices

When you first connect a device, the TV will:

a.Detect the connected device and automati- cally switch to it.

b.Prompt you to identify the device type.

c.Repeat these steps for other newly detected devices.

When You First Connect a Device

•Most Device Types. Select the device type from the on-screen list. The device type you select here will appear as an icon in the Input Selection menu.

•A/V Receiver. For an HDMI-equipped A/V receiver, select AVR from the list of device types if the A/V receiver is not recognized automatically.

•HDMI CEC Devices Compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control Feature. Compatible CEC-enabledHDMI-equipped devices are often recognized automatically by the TV. HDMI Control may allow you to control some functions of a CEC- enabled device. See Appendix C, “HDMI Control of CEC Devices.”

New Device Found screen for a device with HDMI control enabled. Select On if you want to enable the TV’s HDMI control of the device. In some cases, as in the example above, you will also be prompted to select a device name.

Tips on Auto Sensing

•Choose a different name for each input.

•The antenna input (ANT) is never detected, although you can turn off the unused antenna input in the Inputs > Name menu.

•Change the device type displayed in the Input Selection menu by using the Inputs > Name menu (page 55).

•Some HDMI devices can automatically tell the TV what name to use in the Input Selection menu and you will be unable to change the name.

•The TV is unable to detect a new connection if the current input is USB, Bluetooth®, or internet. Switch to a different input before connecting.

•265 series. Any “learned” NetCommand IR codes will be erased if you change the device type in the Inputs > Name menu.

Reactivating Auto Input Sensing for an HDMI Input

After you disconnect an HDMI device, Auto Input Sensing is temporarily disabled. Perform these steps:

1.Disconnect the HDMI device.

2.Delete the removed HDMI device in the Inputs > Name menu (see “Removing an HDMI Device,” page 83).

3.Connect the new device and the New Device Found screen will display.
