Figure 11. Connecting the TV to an A/V receiver
Note:
On rare o ccasions, an HDMI signal may be
copy-restricted and cannot be output from
the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-
protected signals through the A/ V receiver, use
connections for analog A/ V receivers.
Check the A /V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for
information concerning use of the digital input
and switching between digital sound and
analog stereo sound from the TV.
IMPORTANT
If your A/V rece iver has an HDMI input, use
one of the audio conne ctions described here
instead of an HDMI conn ection.
