Setup and Connections

Connecting a Stereo Amplifier

1.Use RCA cables to connect either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT from the monitor to an A/V receiver.

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

VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and monitor remote control.

2.Use speaker wire to connect the monitor to external speakers.

The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn speakers on or off. EXT sends audio to external and internal speakers. INT sends audio only to the monitor’s internal speakers.

3.You may prefer to turn off the TV’s internal speakers. Select Audio from the main menu and then select Speakers.

Important: Do not use the amplifier’s PHONO inputs. Consult the amplifier’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended hookup.

The FIXED/VARIABLE OUT jacks on the back panel provide a fixed or variable audio signal. When connected to “variable”, they are ideal for use with an audio amplifier that does not have its own remote volume control. When connected to “fixed,” the output volume stays the same no matter how the volume changes on

the TV.
