Connecting an external sound system

You can connect an external sound system to the TV by using the Audio Output connectors for a digital audio or analog audio signal:

￿Use an optical audio cable and the Audio Output Digital (Optical) connector on the rear of the TV to provide a digital audio signal to an external sound system such as a digital receiver or a surround sound system.

￿Use an audio cable and the Audio Output Left and Right connectors on the rear of the TV to provide an analog audio signal to an external sound system such as an analog amplifier or stereo system.

The input source signal and the Audio menu settings in the OSD determine the type of audio output. This TV does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI. When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other device by using the HDMI connector, set the device audio output to PCM format. For information on the audio output type, see “Understanding audio output” on page 71.
