Connecting a digital audio system

The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby®*
Digital or 2-channel down-mixed PCM (pulse-code
modulation) signal for use with an external Dolby® Digital
decoder or other external audio system with optical audio
input.
You will need:
optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that has the
larger “TosLink” connector and not the smaller “mini-optical”
connector.)

To control the audio:

Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.
Press on the TV’s remote control and open the Audio
menu.
In the Optical Output Format field, select either
Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device
( “Selecting the optical audio output format” on
page 38).

Note:
Some audio systems may not be compatible with Dolby
Digital bitstream signals. Older audio systems that are not
compatible with standard optical out signals may not work
properly, creating a high noise level that may damage
speakers. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY.
The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not output some
digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.
