If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable.

Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 INPUT (or HDMI 2 INPUT if your TV has this jack and it’s more convenient) jack on the back of the TV and to the HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.

You can set up the TV to automatically tune to the correct device you want to view. This is called Auto Tuning. See Chapter 3 for more information on Auto Tuning.

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

Red

cables to the TV’s AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.

 

White

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

Use the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT for a more advanced connection. Connect the FIXED/variable AUDIO OUTPUTS from the TV to an A/V receiver using audio cables.

Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Advanced Audio 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.
