Usage Features

Initial Setup: Upon the first power-on, the TV guides users through an initial setup process. This includes selecting a language (English or Hindi), connecting to the internet (wired, wireless, or WPS), and signing into an Amazon account. Users can choose to save their Wi-Fi password to their Amazon account for convenience and enable parental controls if desired.

Internet Connection: The TV offers multiple ways to connect to the internet:

Wired Connection: If an Ethernet cable is connected to the LAN socket, the TV automatically connects to the internet.
Wireless Connection: Users can connect wirelessly via their router. The TV scans for available networks, and users can select their network and enter the Wi-Fi password.
WPS Button: For routers with a WPS button, users can connect by pressing the WPS button on the router after selecting the "Connect using WPS Push Button" option on the TV.
WPS PIN Code: Alternatively, users can use a WPS PIN code by entering the code displayed on the TV screen into their router's settings.

Amazon Account Integration: A key feature is the deep integration with Amazon services. Users need an Amazon account to fully utilize the smart features. The setup process involves entering Amazon login credentials (email and password) to register the TV to their account.

App Selection and Download: During the initial setup, users can select popular apps to download from various categories (Popular Services, Movie & Music Services, Original Show Services). These apps download in the background while the TV tunes in. Users can choose to skip this step and download apps later.

Tuning Live TV: The TV supports analogue channel tuning. Users can access the "Settings" menu from the Home screen, select "Live TV," and then "Channel Scan" to find available channels. After scanning, channels can be managed by assigning them as "Favourites" or "Hidden."

Input/Output Sources: The TV provides various input and output options for connecting external devices:

Ethernet/RJ45: For wired internet connection.
IR Blaster: To control other IR-enabled devices.
SPDIF: For connecting soundbars, digital audio systems, or home theatre systems.
AV Input (Composite): For connecting older AV devices like set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, or camcorders using color-coded jacks.
HDMI (1, 2, 3): For connecting HD devices like set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, computers, or gaming consoles. HDMI1/ARC supports Audio Return Channel for simplified audio connections to ARC-enabled home theatre receivers.
USB (Multi Media Player): For connecting USB flash drives to view compatible audio, video, and picture files.
TV Antenna In: For connecting an antenna coaxial cable for live TV.

Remote Control: The remote control is central to operating the TV. It includes buttons for power, voice control (Alexa), navigation (up, down, left, right), select, back, home, menu, volume control (+/-), mute, play/pause, skip/rewind/fast forward, channel navigation (up/down), guide, quick settings, and direct access buttons for Prime Video, Netflix, Amazon Music, and Apps. The remote automatically pairs with the TV, but manual pairing is possible by holding the "HOME" button for 10 seconds.

Connecting External Speakers/Soundbar: Users can connect external speakers or a soundbar via SPDIF or HDMI/ARC. For SPDIF, a digital audio cable connects the TV to the speaker system. For HDMI/ARC, an HDMI cable connects the TV's HDMI1/ARC port to an ARC-enabled soundbar or AV receiver. The TV's audio output settings can be adjusted (e.g., PCM or Dolby Digital) and TV speakers can be turned off if external audio is preferred.

Connecting a Cable/Set-Top Box/DTH: The TV supports connecting cable or set-top boxes via HDMI, AV/Composite, or Coaxial/Antenna. HDMI is recommended for HD channels, while AV/Composite is suitable for SD channels.

Connecting a DVD/Blu-ray Player: DVD or Blu-ray players can be connected via HDMI or AV/Composite. HDMI is recommended for the best video quality.

Connecting a Computer: Computers can be connected via HDMI to display content on the TV.

Connecting a USB Flash Drive: USB flash drives can be plugged into the USB port to access and play compatible media files (video, image, audio).

IR Blaster Usage: The IR Blaster allows the TV to control other IR-enabled equipment, especially useful for devices placed inside closed cabinets. The IR extender cable should be securely plugged into the TV, and its other end placed close to the device to be controlled.
