Connecting an AV Amplifier

If you have an AV amplifier (receiver) and would like to enjoy high quality sound, use the supplied HDMI cable. If your HDMI device does not support digital audio signals or has no HDMI input jack, connect using an optical or coaxial digital cable (not supplied). If the amplifier has 2ch audio input jacks (L/R), connect using an audio cable.

If the amplifier has a Dolby Digital decoder, set [Digital Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] accordingly (page 114).

zHint

For correct speaker location, see the operating instructions of the connected components.

When you connect an HDMI OUT jack or a DIGITAL OUT jack and play a video or music, the beginning may be skipped depending on the external device.
