Home Theatre System (HTS)

Connect

Use an HDMI cable to connect a Home Theatre System (HTS) to the TV. You can connect a Philips Soundbar or an HTS with a built-in disc player.

Alternatively, you can use a SCART cable if the device has no HDMI connection.

HDMI ARC

If your Home Theatre System has an HDMI ARC connection, you can use any HDMI connection on the TV to connect. All HDMI connections on the TV can offer the Audio Return Channel (ARC) signal. But once you connected the Home Theatre System, the TV can only send the ARC signal to this HDMI connection.

With HDMI ARC, you do not need to connect the extra audio cable. The HDMI ARC connection combines both signals.
