Connecting your TV

Connecting an audio system

This connection allows you to use an audio amplifier to adjust the audio level. This also allows you to use external speakers.

To control the audio, turn on the TV and the stereo amplifier, and turn off the built-in speakers (see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on page 51).

You will need:

• one pair of audio cables

Note:

To hear sound when using an external audio amplifier, the volume of both the TV and the amplifier must be set above 0 (zero).

Connecting an A/V receiver

This connection allows you to use an audio/video (A/V) receiver to enhance your TV’s sound.

If you have a system with Dolby Pro Logic® surround sound, you can add to the realism of the sound by using the TV’s internal speakers as center channel speakers.

You will need:

one coaxial cable

one set of standard A/V cables

one single audio cable for the audio center channel

Note:

Refer to the instructions provided with your A/V receiver for details about your surround sound system.

When the Audio Center Channel ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, the TV speakers will function only as center channel speakers. At this time, the SBS feature should be set to OFF. See page 50.

Adjust the volume for the center channel speakers using the center level control on your A/V receiver.

To use the TV speakers as normal speakers, set the Audio Center Channel ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
