Connecting Devices to your TV
If you’d like to use the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature to have sound sent from the TV back down an HDMI cable to a digital
soundbar, then you will need to connect the cable to the HDMI (ARC) port. By using this feature, you will also be able to control the
soundbar with your TV remote instead of having to use multiple remotes for each device.
To connect a digital sound bar with an HDMI cable:
1. Connect the cable that’s attached to the sound bar to the HDMI (ARC) port on the TV.
2. Press the [POWER] button on the Soundbar to turn it on.
3. Using your remote, press the [INPUT] button and select the corresponding HDMI input.
4. Next, press the [ ] button on your remote and go to Sound > Advanced Audio Settings.
5. Press the [OK] button on your remote to enable the Sound function and select ARC First.
Once you have completed these steps, then proceed to complete the first time set up menu (see the ‘First Time Setup Menu ‘section
of this User Manual) to configure your TV settings. After you’re done completing the first time set up, then you will hear audio from
live TV (or other content) from your sound bar.

Connecting your TV to a Wired or Wireless Network
You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to access the Internet.
Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that you use an
IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play smoothly.
Connecting to a Wireless Network
NOTES
•You must use the Hisense built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the set does not support an external
USB network adapter.
•To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the wireless network.
•Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP sharer is
currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
•If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.
•If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP or TKIP-AES (WPS2
Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the Hisense TV will not support a connection in compliance with these Wi-Fi certification
specifications.

Connecting your TV to a Wired or Wireless Network
You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:
Option 1.
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using an Ethernet
cable. See the figure below.
Option 2.
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an
external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection. See the figure below.
Option 3.
Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the
back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Ethernet cable. See the figure below.
If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS, so you
don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network connection. To get the IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Connecting your devices to stream content
Streaming Content Between Your Mobile Phone or Laptop and the TV
Due to the advancement of technology, different types of devices can connect, discover and communicate with each other over a
home network. For more details about this technology, refer to the Digital Living Network Alliance®.
If you want to stream your personal content (music, videos, photos) stored on your mobile phone or laptop to the TV, then you can
do it through a few simple steps.
From a laptop
To stream content between most Windows-based laptops and your TV:
1. Download the free TwonkyTM Beam app to your laptop. This app enables users to transfer content from their laptop or mobile
phone to a television.
For more information about the app, visit www.twonky.com.
2. After you’ve completed step 1, make sure that your TV and the laptop are connected to the same wireless network.
3. From your laptop, go to Windows Media Player.
4. From the menu bar of your laptop, click on Stream > Turn on Media Streaming. A Media Streaming options window displays on
your laptop screen.
5. Click on the Turn on Media Streaming tab.

customized the name of your TV, go to Setup > Network > TV Name.
7. Click on OK at the bottom of the Media Streaming Options window.
8. Go to the Media center on your TV. Your Media list from your computer will display. Begin browsing to select the content you want
to stream.
From a mobile phone

2. Make sure that your TV and your phone are connected to the same wireless network.
3. From your mobile phone, enable file sharing.
To find the file sharing feature in your phone, check your Settings.
4. After you’ve enabled file sharing on your phone, the app will begin to stream the content to the television.
Customizing the name of your TV to identify it
If you have several TV’s in your home then you may want to customize the name of your Hisense Smart TV. By giving your TV a
name, it will make it easier for you to identify it when connecting devices to the TV to stream or mirror content.

Software updates for your TV
The software (also referred to as firmware) is part of what powers your TV. Because Hisense will provide software updates to
continuously enhance your TV and correct any issues, we recommend that you update your TV software when a new version is
available.
You have two options to update the software for your TV. You can choose to receive software notification updates for your TV
automatically or check for software updates manually.
Checking for updates automatically
To receive software notification updates automatically, your TV must be turned ‘On’ and connected to the Internet. The Auto
Upgrade setting (which enables your TV to receive the updates automatically) is turned to ‘On’ by factory default. If you turn the
Auto Upgrade setting ‘Off’, it will disable this functionality of your TV. More information about this setting and how to locate it is
explained later in this section.
While your TV is on, it automatically checks for updates. If an update is available, a notification
(in the form of a dialog message) will appear in the middle of the screen. If you choose to view
notes about what is included in the update, then click on OK and you will be taken to a View
update details screen. After you view the notes, click on OK and the software update will begin
to download.
If the download is completed successfully, then a confirmation message will display and you will
be prompted to restart the TV by clicking on OK.
If you choose to wait until later to begin the update then click on Cancel and you will see this notification the next time you turn on
your TV.
Checking for updates manually
If (for some reason) you do not want your TV to automatically check for updates and to receive notifications when they are available,
then:
1. Using your remote, press [ ].
2. Go to Setup > About TV > Auto Firmware Upgrade.
3. Press [OK] to turn the Auto Upgrade setting ‘Off’.
By doing this, you will have to manually check to see if you have the latest software update.
To manually check for the latest firmware:
1. Using your remote, press [ ].
2. Go to Setup > About TV > Check Firmware Upgrade.
Using a USB flash drive (also called a ‘Thumb Drive’, ‘Jump Drive’ or ‘Memory Stick’) to install
software updates
If you have not kept your TV connected to the Internet or turned the Auto Upgrade feature ‘Off’ then dowload the new software to
your USB drive from www.hisense-usa.com/support/firmware.asp.
You will need your Model Number to search for available firmware. Once you’re on the firmware page of the Hisense website, follow
the steps that display.
An Update is available, would
you like to begin?

Notification Cancel OK
NOTE
If you don’t click on OK, then the TV system will time out after 10 seconds and restart itself.

• A power switch on the right side bottom edge of the front panel must be turned on. Press the Power button
on the remote control to activate the unit from 'Standby' mode.
• Check to see if the LED light is on or not. If it is, then the TV is receiving power.

source to my TV and I get no
picture and/or sound.
• Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the correct input connection on the TV.
• Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the incoming signal.
When I turn on my TV, there is a
delay for a few seconds before the
picture appears. Is this normal?
• Yes, this is normal. The TV is initializing and searching for previous setting information.
The picture is normal but there is
no sound
• Check the volume settings.
• Check if 'Mute' mode is set to On.
Sound but no picture or black and
white picture
• If the picture is black and white, unplug the TV from the AC outlet and replug it after 60 seconds.
• Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher.
• Try different TV channels.
The sound and/or picture is
distorted or appears wavy
• An electric appliance may be affecting the TV. Turn off any appliances that are nearby and move it farther away
from the TV.
