How to Connect: TV + Speakers Without A/V Receiver

You can connect two external speakers to the TV: one to the RIGHT terminal, and one to the LEFT terminal.

1.If necessary, remove the vinyl covering from the ends of the speaker wire and twist the wire core.

2.Open the lever on the speaker terminal.

3.Insert the wire core into the hole. Be sure to connect the (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).

4.Close the lever. Pull gently on the wire to see that it’s connected securely.

5.Set the SPEAKER SELECT switch to INT W/EXT SURR.

If you connect speakers and place the EXT/INT W/EXT SURR switch on the TV back panel 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.

6.Go to the Audio menu and Fixed/Variable Out screen and make sure Variable Out - Speakers On is selected.

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

When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect the positive

(+)terminal on the TV to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white stripe to help you match the terminals correctly. If the (+) and (-) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be “in phase,” causing reduction in bass frequencies.

Do not allow the wire core to touch other wires or terminals. Damage to components could result if the cores of two wires touch.

Arrange the speakers in your TV room to achieve maximum sound quality.

Caution: DO NOT connect your audio/video receiver’s outputs or its center speaker output to the red and black EXTERNAL SPEAKERS OUTPUT on the TV. Damage to TV may result.
