Connecting a camcorder

You will need:

standard A/V cables

For better picture performance, if your camcorder has S-video, connect an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) to VIDEO 1 on the TV back instead of the VIDEO 2 on the TV right side panel.

*To select the video input source, press INPUT on the remote control (-Operating Guide). To program the TV remote control to operate other devices, see the Operating Guide, Chapter 2.

Connecting a digital audio system

The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby®* Digital gor 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.)

Dolby Digital decoder or other digital audio system

To control the audio:

1 Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.

2 Press MENU on the TV’s remote control and open the Audio menu.

3 Highlight Audio Setup and press ENTER.

5 Turn off the TV’s built-in speakers in the same Audio Setup menu (for 42LX196 and 47LX196 only). Also see “Turning off the built-in speakers” in the Operating Guide.

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 or headphones. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.

The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs signals only when receiving digital broadcasts with the TV in single- window mode.

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