Connecting your TV
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 VIDEO1 on the TV back instead of the VIDEO 2 on the
TV right side panel.
To view the camcorder video:
Select the VIDEO 2 video input source on the TV.*
*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 g 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:
1Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.
2Press MENU on the TV’s remote control and open the
Audio menu.
3Highlight Audio Setup and press ENTER.
4In the Optical Output Format field, select either
Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device
(- “Selecting the optical audio output format” in the
Operating Guide).
5Turn 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.
