is primarily for professional installers. If you're using the remote that was
included with your TV, don't plug anything into this jack or the TV won't
respond to the remote.
ETHERNET Connect a router, cable modem, or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
modem to the TV using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5) for a possible software
upgrade. Go to page 54 for more information on software upgrades. Do not
connect a telephone cable because of risk of fire or shock. A green light on the
jack means that an active network has been detected. An orange light on the
jack means the data is either being sent or received.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Use a digital optical cable (or SPDIF cable) to
connect your TV to a compatible Dolby Digital* and/or PCM receiver and/or
decoder. Dolby Digital offers theatre-quality sound (six audio channels). If you
own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can use an optical cable to
connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality. Go to the Digital
Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select or PCM as the output
for this jack.
Note: This TV's optical digital output jack fully complies with the
international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and is
designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3
decoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with
IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a
connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM)
receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage to
headphones or speakers.
