Fixed/Variable Out Displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s front internal speakers on or off and set the Fixed/Variable audio output to a fixed or variable volume output level. The choices are:

Variable Output, Speakers On Turns the TV’s front speakers On and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

Variable Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s front speakers Off and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.

Fixed Output, Speakers Off Turns the TV’s front speakers Off and provides fixed output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jack to a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the TV’s volume control, graphic equalizer, balance, and mute are disabled. This output is ideal when connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier that has its own remote control for controlling the volume.

Is an external subwoofer connected to the Subwoofer Output? This option only appears when Variable Output, Speakers On is selected. Select Yes if you want the low bass frequencies to be directed from the SUBWOOFER Out jack to the connected external subwoofer; select No if not.
