■Select the input on the powered speakers or amplifier.

■Use the source device remote control to control playback.

■If using the TV ANT/Cable connector:

■Connect the signal source to the ANT/Cable connector. See “Connecting the cable TV or air broadcast antenna” on page 10.

■If the powered speakers or amplifier does not support Digital Dolby, set the digital audio format in the onscreen display Audio menu Digital Audio option to PCM. See “Choosing the digital audio output mode” on page 54.

■For HDMI source devices, connect a separate digital audio cable from the source device directly to the powered speakers or amplifier.

■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 21.

3Turn on the TV; see “Turning the TV On and Off” on page 23.

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

5Define the digital audio format in the onscreen display Audio menu Digital Audio option; see “Choosing the digital audio output mode” on page 54.

Connecting the TV to your home network (LAN)

Connect the TV to the router in your PC local area network (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, which are ready to use; no antenna or other connection is necessary.

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.

HP recommends use of dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi for best wireless performance.
