Connecting an external sound
system
You can connect an external sound system to the TV by
using the Audio Output connectors for a digital audio
or analog audio signal:
Use an optical audio cable and the Audio Output
Digital (Optical) connector on the rear of the TV to
provide a digital audio signal to an external
sound system such as a digital receiver or a
surround sound system.
Use an audio cable and the Audio Output Left and
Right connectors on the rear of the TV to provide
an analog audio signal to an external sound
system such as an analog amplifier or stereo
system.
The input source signal and the Audio menu settings in
the OSD determine the type of audio output. This TV
does not support Dolby Digital audio input over HDMI.
When connecting a set-top box, DVD player, or other
device by using the HDMI connector, set the device
audio output to PCM format. For information on the
audio output type, see "Understanding audio output"
on page 71.
