Enjoying a game console or watching camcorder images

Connecting a game console or camcorder

Use the INPUT 3 terminals to connect a game console, camcorder and other audiovisual equipment.

The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this system can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output terminal (optical) on the rear of the plasma display. This allows audio such as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high quality.

If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal (optical), you may connect the AUDIO OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the rear of the plasma display to the audio input terminals on the AV receiver. However, this method may result in audio delay between the speakers and AUDIO, which may be reduced by muting the speakers on the plasma display. Nonetheless, you may experience delay between audio and video.

Note

When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you need to make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more information, see the instruction manual that came with the AV receiver.

For details, refer to the operation manual for the audio equipment to be connected.

Audio signals synchronized with currently displayed images are always output to the AUDIO OUT terminals.

The audio accompanying the images shown on the display are always output to the SUBWOOFER output terminal.

When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

Input signals from the Home Media Gallery may cause audio delays between the speakers and OPTICAL. Try muting the speakers on the plasma display; however, you may still experience delays between audio and video.
