How to Connect: Dolby Digital Receiver + Speakers

If you own a Dolby Digital® or PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, connect an optical cable for excellent audio quality. Connect one end of the optical cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on your TV to the Optical Input Jack on your receiver/amplifier receiver. Consult your Dolby Digital receiver manual to complete speaker hookup to the receiver.

You might want to switch INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE to EXT AMP and connect the audio receiver’s CENTER SPEAKER OUTPUT to the TV’s EXT AMP input to use the TV’s internal speakers as a center speaker.

•Go to Audio menu and select Audio Select if your receiver can decode DD and PCM.

•Go to Audio menu and select PCM if your receiver can decode only PCM.

How to Connect: A/V Amplifier/Receiver + Speakers

1.Connect the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT from the TV to an A/V amplifier/receiver using audio cables.

2.Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Audio menu and select whether you want the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to send fixed volume audio or variable volume audio.

•Fixed Output provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.

•Variable Output provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the volume controls on the TV and TV remote control.

3.Use speaker wire to connect the TV to external speakers.

•The EXT/INT W/EXT SURR switch beside the jacks lets you turn the TV’s internal speakers on or off. The default position of the switch is INT W/EXT SURR.

•If you connect speakers and place the switch in the INT W/EXT SURR position, you get audio from the internal speakers as well as L minus R from both external speakers. This connection gives you a matrix surround effect.

•If you connect speakers and place the switch in the EXT position, you get audio from the external speakers only. The TV’s internal speakers are turned off.

Notes: The external speaker rating is 8 ohms with 30 watts total power handling capabilities.

Subwoofer status is not affected by the EXT/INT W/EXT SURR switch setting.
