Use Variable Output if volume will be controlled by the TV. Use Fixed Output when connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier with its own remote control for volume control.

Note: If the INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE switch on the back of the TV is set to EXT AMP, it will override any above setting of "Speakers Off" and allow the internal speakers to be used as a center-audio input.

Fixed/Variable Out

The Fixed/Variable Out menu displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s front internal and external speakers on or off and set the Fixed/Variable audio output to a fixed- or variable-control level. The choices are:

•Variable Output, Speakers On This setting turns the TV’s front speakers On and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

•Variable Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers Off and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

•Fixed Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers Off and provides fixed output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jack to a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the TV’s volume control, graphic equalizer, and mute are disabled. This output is ideal when connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier that has its own remote control for controlling the volume.

Note: If the Internal Speaker source switch on the back of the TV is set to EXT AMP, it overrides any above setting of Speakers Off and allows the internal speakers to be used as a center speaker input.

Digital Audio Out

If you’ve connected a six-channel receiver to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack with a digital optical cable, you can receive Dolby Digital* surround sound if transmitted. Choose the correct setting in the Digital Audio Out menu:

•Auto Select If selected, your TV automatically chooses between Dolby Digital and PCM based on the audio signal it is receiving. This is the best selection if you have a decoder with Dolby Digital* and PCM that was manufactured in the last several years.

• PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) If selected, the TV sends all signals through the Digital Audio Output in PCM.
