Connecting a Digital Audio System

The side panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System to your TV.

1Connect an Optical Cable between the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TV and the Digital Audio Input (OPTICAL) jacks on the Digital Audio System.

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)” jack:

What is OPTICAL?

An optical cable converts an electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) for the HDMI input may not be supported due to HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection).

Each Digital Audio System has a different back panel configuration.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.

If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
