Connecting the external sound system

c

CAUTION: Before connecting an external sound system, unplug power for the TV and all connected components. Make sure the external sound system is turned off.

1Connect the external sound system to the TV:

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

￿For an analog connection, connect an audio cable to the Audio Out L and R connectors on the rear of the TV and to the external sound system such as an analog amplifier or stereo system.

2Connect power to the TV; see “Connecting power to the TV” on page 22.

3Turn on the TV; see “Turning the TV On and Off” on page 25.

4Connect power to, and turn on, the external sound system.

5Define the digital audio format by using the Digital Audio option in the Audio menu on the OSD; see “Choosing the digital audio output mode” on page 71.

6If you want, you can turn off the TV speakers by using the Speakers option in the Audio menu on the OSD; see “Using the Audio Menu” on page 70.

Connecting the TV to your home network (LAN)

The TV requires use of a router for connection to your established home network (LAN).

￿A wired connection (Ethernet 802.3) uses an Ethernet cable and connects through a router.

￿A wireless connection (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n) must use the TV internal wireless antennas and connect through a router.

n

For the best wireless performance, HP recommends use of dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi.

Connect the TV to the router in your PC LAN by connecting an Ethernet cable for a wired connection, as described in this procedure. For a wireless connection, the TV has internal wireless antennas that are ready to use; no antenna or other connection is necessary.
