CEC

This function allows to control the CEC-enabled 

devices, that are connected through HDMI ports by 

using the remote control of the TV.
The 

CEC

 option in the 

Settings>More

 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 new CEC 

source device is connected, it will be listed in source 

menu with its own name instead of the connected 

HDMI  ports  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 “0-Zero” button on 

the remote control for 3 seconds. This feature can 

also be enabled or disabled under the 

Settings>More

menu.
The TV supports also ARC(Audio Return Channel) 

feature. This feature is an audio link meant to replace 

other cables between the TV and the audio system 

(A/V receiver or speaker system).
When ARC is active, TV does not mute its other audio 

outputs automatically. So you need to decrease TV 

volume to zero manually, if you want to hear audio 

from  connected  audio  device  only  (same  as  other 

optical or co-axial digital audio outputs). If you want 

to  change  connected  device’s  volume  level,  you 

should select that device from the source list. In that 

case volume control keys are directed to connected 

audio device.

Note: ARC is supported only via the HDMI1 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 

Speakers

 option in the 

Settings>More

 menu as 

Amplifier

. 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 and 

CEC option should be set as Enabled.
