Connecting Your TV to an Audio/Video Receiver

For better sound quality than the TV’s internal speakers, connect to an audio receiver using audio cables to the TV’s AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.

• Use the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT for a more advanced connection. Connect the FIXED/

White

VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUTS from the TV to an A/V receiver using audio cables.

Audio cables are color coded- Red= right audio; white= left audio

Subwoofer cable

Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Audio Connections menu and select whether you want the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to send fixed or variable volume audio.

•Variable Output provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the TV’s volume.

•Fixed Output provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.

•If you connect the SUBWOOFER jack, be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Audio Connections menu and select Yes for connecting to an external subwoofer.

Digital Optical cable

Connecting Your TV to a Receiver with Dolby® Digital

If you own a receiver with Dolby® digital decoding or PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) that uses an optical cable-type input, connect an optical cable for excellent audio quality.

•Connect one end of the optical cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on your TV and to the Digital Optical Input jack on your receiver/amplifier receiver.

•If your receiver can decode Dolby digital and PCM, go to the Audio menu, select Audio Connections, then Digital Audio Output. Select AutoSelect (recommended) or PCM.

•If your receiver can decode only PCM, select PCM.
