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.
