Audio: Surround Sound or AV Receiver

If you have a 5.1 surround sound system or audio-video receiver, you can make the audio connection to your TV as shown in the following illustration. You also can connect other equipment to the sound system.

NOTE:

•Observe the color-coding on connectors.

•The digital audio output on the TV sends Dolby Digital surround sound only when you are viewing a source connected to an antenna, cable, or HDMI input and only if the program contains surround sound. Otherwise, the digital audio output sends digital stereo sound.

•For other sources that have digital audio outputs, connect those outputs directly to the surround sound system so you can hear surround sound. You can omit the audio connections to the TV for those devices.

•For other devices with only stereo outputs, you can connect those outputs to the surround sound system or to the TV.

•If the AV receiver also supports multiple video connections, you can connect video outputs from other equipment to that device and then connect the video output from the receiver to the TV. Use the highest quality video connections available.
