How to Connect
1 | If your audio system has a coaxial digital audio input, connect to the “COAXIAL” output jack |
on the TV. | |
2 | If your audio system has a optical digital audio input, connect to the “OPTICAL“ output jack |
on the TV. | |
| Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output before inserting the cable. |
3 | If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs, SAMSUNG recommends |
you use the optical digital output on the TV. |
Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may damage your audio system.
•OPTICAL: converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers.
