Mitsubishi Electronics 246 Series, 148 Series Receiver Sound System Using the TV’s Audio Output

A/V Receiver (Sound System) Using the TV’s Audio Output

Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog stereo audio cables. To send audio from TV channels received on ANT 1, ANT 2, or devices con- nected directly to the TV, you must use one of the con- nections shown below.

The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog formats:

•Analog audio coming into the TV is output in digital stereo format on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

•Digital incoming audio is output on the analog AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R jacks.

Usually, only one of the following audio connections is required.

•To connect an analog A/V receiver

Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R on the TV main panel to the TV AUDIO INPUT on the A/V receiver.

•To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby Digital surround sound and PCM audio support:

Connect one end of the digital audio cable to DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT on the back of the TV. Connect the other end to the COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT on the back of the A/V receiver.

Note:

•On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copy- restricted and cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-protected signals through the A/V receiver, use the connection for an analog A/V receiver.

•Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for infor- mation concerning use of the digital input and switching between digital sound and analog stereo

A/V Receiver with HDMI Output

Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable

This option allows you to view content from devices connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver can send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI cable. You can use an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s audio output.

You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (with slide switch set to TV) to operate connected CEC- enabled HDMI devices. Experiment with your equip- ment to determine which functions are available to the TV’s remote control. See Appendix E, page 80.

This setup allows you to use NetCommand-controlled audio and video switching over the HDMI cable. See “A/V Receiver Control: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 63.
