AUDIO CONTROLS AND TIMERS

AUDIO CONTROLS

The Audio menu lets you adjust the controls that deal with the TV’s audio outputs. To access the Audio menu, press MENU on the remote, then select Audio from the main menu.

OPTICAL OUTPUT

When the HD receiver is connected to an optional, compatible, six-channel amplifier/ receiver and speakers via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the back panel, you receive Dolby Digital Surround Sound, if transmitted. Use the Optical Output menu to specify Auto Select, PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), Dolby Digital†, or Off.

Select Auto Select if your HD receiver is connected to a Dolby Digital and PCM decoder. Select Dolby Digital if the HD receiver is connected to a Dolby Digital only decoder; when broadcast, it will provide six independent soundtrack channels through the optical output jack (labeled DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) on the back of the HD receiver to an optional, compatible 6-channel amplifier receiver. Select PCM if it is connected to a PCM-only decoder; it will then provide two independent soundtrack channels. Select Off if you want no audio provided.
