Step by step

   Open the Input menu

   Press the Input or Source button on your remote control to display the list of active HDMI ports. If your remote lacks a dedicated button, press the Home or Settings button and navigate to the Input or Source icon on the on-screen dashboard.

   Note: Ensure your connected devices are powered on so the TV detects the active signals.

   Locate the Edit or Rename option

   Highlight the specific HDMI port you intend to rename using the directional pad on your remote. Look for an ellipsis icon (three dots), an 'Edit' button, or a 'Rename' prompt located near the thumbnail of the input source.

   Select or enter a custom label

   Most modern television operating systems provide a list of predefined labels such as Game Console, Blu-ray Player, or PC. Select the appropriate label from the list to update the icon and name simultaneously.

   Note: Choosing the correct device type often triggers optimized picture settings for that specific input.

   Create a manual label

   If a custom name is required, select the 'Manual' or 'Custom' text entry field. Use the on-screen keyboard to type the device name, such as 'Apple TV' or 'PlayStation 5', and select 'Done' or 'Save' to confirm your changes.

   Note: Keep labels short and descriptive to ensure they remain legible in the menu interface.
