Connecting other audio amplifiers or active speakers
In the connection wizard set “HiFi/AV amplifier” under “Device selection: Audio device“. The connection wizard allows configuration of different au- dio amplifiers (stereo amplifiers, surround amplifiers, analog or digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM). Have a look at the audio amplifier manual.
Select “Sound transmission“ “digital“ for digital audio amplifiers. Con- nect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital audio input of the digital amplifier.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket thjrough which the correspond- ing picture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected there). Then the digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the TV set and fed to the external audio amplifier via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with their digital amplifier (Dolby Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under “Amplifier type“ whether the digital amplifier is a stereo or surround amplifier.
If it is a surround amplifier, specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be used as center loudspeakers. Connect the center output of the amplifier to the center input of the TV with a cinch cable if necessary.
Note: do not use the center speaker connection on the amplifier but the

Select “Sound transmission“ “analog“ for analog audio amplifiers. The sound for the analog amplifier is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R con- nections of the TV to the audio amplifier. Connect the amplifier with two cinch cables.
Specify under “Amplifier type“ whether the digital amplifier is a stereo or surround amplifier.
If it is a surround amplifier, also specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be used as center loudspeakers. Connect the center output of the ampli- fier to the center output of the TV with a cinch cable if necessary.
Note: do not use the center speaker connection on the amplifier but the

If you want to listen to the sound over the TV speakers temporarily, call the Sound menu with the Lbutton, select “Sound via“ and then “TV“.
When connecting active loudspeakers select “Active loudspeakers“ in the connection wizard under “Device selection: Audio device“. The sound for the active loudspeakers is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R connections to the active loudspeakers. Make connections to the active loudspeakers with the cinch cables.
The audio settings on the TV set when active loudspeakers are connected. When using an external audio amplifier, make the audio settings on the audio amplifier.
