Switching inputs on your TCL Google TV lets you move between connected devices such as a cable or satellite box, gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming device, or antenna.
Note: Menu names, remote buttons, and available inputs may vary slightly depending on your TV model and software version.

Use the directional buttons to highlight the input you want, such as:

Choosing the Correct HDMI Input
HDMI ports on your TV are labeled HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, and so on.
For example, if your gaming console is connected to HDMI 2, select HDMI 2 from the TV's input list.
Some TCL Google TVs may automatically recognize a connected device and display its name, such as a game console, streaming player, or cable box.
