Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

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.)

audio systems that are not compatible with standard optical out signals may not work properly, creating a high noise level that may damage speakers or headphones.

THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

• The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not output some digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.
