Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a digital audio system

The TVÕs DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby

Digital 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:

To control the audio:

Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.

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.

Turn off the TVÕs built-in speakers in the same Audio Setup menu (above). Also see ÒTurning off the built-in speakersÓ on page 86.

Connecting an analog audio system

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