5. DVI Analog Audio
Unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio information on the same cable. Use these analog stereo audio inputs when using the HDMI input with a device that outputs DVI instead of HDMI, such as DVI output from a DVD player.
6.PC Input (models
This input can be used to connect a personal computer. Please see Appendix A for signal compatibility. For audio, use DVI Analog Audio 2 input.
7. AUDIO OUTPUT, RECORD OUTPUT
AUDIO OUTPUT sends analog audio of the program currently shown on the screen to an A/V surround sound receiver or stereo system. Digital audio from digital channels, FireWire® (DTVLink/IEEE 1394) devices and HDMI devices is converted to analog audio by the TV. If you do not have a digital A/V receiver, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your analog A/V receiver or stereo system.
RECORD OUTPUT sends analog audio and video to a VCR for recording purposes. The program on this output can be either the one you are currently watching or a different one. Signals from digital channels and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog signals. There is no video signal when copy restrictions are in effect. Component, HDMI, and PC inputs are not available for recording.

HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during
initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option in the Device Setup screen. To do this at any time afterwards, use the NetCommand Add function.
To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output, you must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.

11. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP 
.
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an access card customized to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 84 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided and authorized by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.
12. Digital Audio Output
This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. If you have a digital A/V receiver, in most cases this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V receiver. If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
