Connecting other audio equipment

The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this Plasma
Display can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical
digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output
terminal (optical) on the rear of the Plasma Display. This allows
audio such as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high
quality.
If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal
(optical), connect the MONITOR OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the
rear of the Plasma Display to the audio input terminals on the
AV receiver.
• When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you need to
make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more information,
see the instruction manual that came with the AV receiver.
