242. TV Connections
A/V Receiver
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog stereo audio cables. To send audio from TV channels received on the ANT input or devices con- nected directly to the TV, you must use one of the connections shown below. Usually, only one of these connections is required.
The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog formats:
•Analog audio coming into the TV is available as output in digital stereo format on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
•Digital incoming audio is available as analog output on the AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R jacks.

A/V Receiver with HDMI Output
Required: One
Optional: One digital coaxial audio cable or analog stereo audio cables
This option allows you to view content from devices connected to an A/V receiver. The A/V receiver can send audio and video to the TV over a single HDMI cable.
• In addition to the HDMI connection, you can use |
an audio connection from one of the TV’s audio |
outputs. The optional audio connection allows you |
to hear, through the A/V receiver, devices con- |
nected to the TV only, e.g., an antenna on the ANT |
input. |
• You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (in |
TV mode) to operate connected |
devices. See Appendix C, page 73. |
