Operating additional equipment

Connecting other audio ampli ers or active

speakers

In the connection wizard, select "HiFi/AV ampli er" under "Equipment
selection: audio component". The connection wizard allows con guration of
different audio ampli ers (stereo ampli ers, surround ampli ers, analogue or
digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM).
Refer to the operating instructions for the audio ampli er to be connected.
Select "Digital" under "Audio transmission" for digital audio ampli ers.
Connect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital
audio input of the digital ampli er.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the corresponding
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 ampli er via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with your digital ampli er (Dolby
Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under "Type of ampli er" whether the digital ampli er is a stereo or
surround ampli er.
If it is a surround ampli er, specify whether or not the TV loudspeakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the ampli er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the ampli er; instead
use the pre-ampli er centre output.
Select "Analogue" for "Sound transmission" for analogue audio ampli ers.
The sound for the analogue ampli er is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R
connections of the TV to the audio ampli er. Connect the ampli er with two
cinch cables.
Specify under "Type of ampli er" whether the analogue ampli er is a stereo or
surround ampli er.
If it is a surround ampli er, also specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the ampli er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary. Note: do not use the
centre loudspeaker connection on the ampli er; instead use the pre-ampli er
centre output.
If you want to listen to the sound via the TV loudspeakers temporarily, call the
Sound menu using the button, select "Sound via" and then "TV".
When connecting active speakers, select "Active speakers" in the connection
wizard under "Audio equipment selection". The sound for the active speakers
is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R connections to the active speakers. Make
connections to the active speakers using the cinch cables.
Make the audio settings on the TV set when active speakers are connected.
When using an external audio ampli er, make the audio settings on the audio
ampli er.
