Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a digital audio system
The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby
®
*
Digital g 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:
optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that has the
larger “TosLink” connector and not the smaller “mini-
optical” connector.)
To control the audio:
1 Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.
2 Press Y on the TV’s remote control and open the
Audio menu.
3 Highlight Audio Setup and press T.
4 In the Optical Output Format field, select either
Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device
(
- “Selecting the optical audio output format” on
page 57).
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 may not output some
digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.
