How to connect HDMI?

Connecting an HDMI cable is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure everything works smoothly:

Step 1: Gather Your Devices

Source Device: The device providing the video and audio signal (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, streaming device, or laptop).

Display Device: The device that will display the video and play the audio (e.g., TV, monitor, or projector).

HDMI Cable: A compatible HDMI cable for your devices.

Step 2: Locate HDMI Ports

On the Source Device: Look for the HDMI OUT port, usually labeled "HDMI OUT" or just "HDMI."

On the Display Device: Find the HDMI IN port, usually labeled "HDMI 1," "HDMI 2," or similar.

Step 3: Connect the HDMI Cable

Plug into the Source Device: Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI OUT port of the source device.

Plug into the Display Device: Insert the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI IN port of the display device.

Step 4: Select the Correct Input on the Display Device

Turn on your TV, monitor, or projector.

Use the remote or on-device controls to select the correct HDMI input source (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2) that matches the port where the cable is connected.

Step 5: Power On and Configure the Source Device

a. Turn on your source device (e.g., console, Blu-ray player, or laptop).

b. The display should automatically detect the input signal. If it doesn’t:

On a PC, use display settings to extend or duplicate the screen.

On other devices, check output settings to ensure HDMI is enabled.

Step 6: Adjust Settings (Optional)

Resolution and Refresh Rate: Adjust these settings on the source device to match the display’s capabilities.

Audio Settings: Configure audio settings if using ARC/eARC for a soundbar or AV receiver.
