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, which may damage speakers or headphones.

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

Connecting an analog audio system

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

You will need:

￿one pair of standard audio cables

To control the audio:

Turn on the TV and the stereo amplifier.

Turn off the TV’s built-in speakers (see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on page 79).

Note: To hear sound when using an external audio amplifier, the volume of both the TV and the amplifier must be set to a reasonable listening level.
