How to Connect: TV + Receiver with Dolby Digital + Speakers

If you own a receiver with Dolby Digital® or PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) audio receiver that uses an optical cable-type input, connect an optical cable for excellent audio quality (shown on opposite page).

1.Connect one end of the optical cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on your TV to the DIGITAL OPTICAL INPUT Jack on your receiver/amplifier receiver.

If your receiver can decode Dolby Digital and PCM, go to Audio menu, select Digital Audio Output, and select AutoSelect (recommended) or PCM option.

If your receiver can decode only PCM, go to Audio menu, select Digital Audio Output, and select PCM option.

2.If you want to use your TV as the Center Channel, use speaker wire to connect the audio receiver’s CENTER SPEAKER OUTPUT to the TV’s CENTER CHANNEL INPUT as shown on the opposite page.

Switch INTERNAL SPEAKER SOURCE to EXT AMP.

3.Use speaker wire to connect the Audio/Video receiver to external front and rear speakers. Refer to your audio receiver manual to complete speaker hookup to the receiver.
