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 TV’s built-in speakers in the same Audio Setup menu (above). Also see “Turning off the built-in speakers” on page 86.
