Advanced Audio Connection Information

With the audio versatility of your HDTV, you can choose various connection options depending on the type
and quality of sound that you want. From good to best sound, choose one of the options or refer to the user's
manual of each device that you are connecting to get the best results.
• Use your TV's internal speakers (good sound).
• Connect an audio receiver (speakers connected to receiver) to your TV (better sound).
• Connect an audio receiver (speakers connected to receiver) to your TV using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
(OPTICAL) jack (best sound)
Connecting Your TV to an Audio/Video Receiver
For better sound quality than the TV's internal speakers, connect to an audio receiver using audio cables to the
TV's AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.

Use the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT for a more advanced connection. Connect the FIXED/
VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUTS from the TV to an A/V receiver using audio cables.
Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Advanced Audio menu and select whether you want the
FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to send fi xed or variable volume audio.
• Variable Output provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the TV's volume.
• Fixed Output provides fi xed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for connecting
to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.
Connect one end of the optical cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on your TV and
to the Digital Optical Input jack on your receiver/amplifi er receiver.
• If your receiver can decode Dolby digital and PCM, go to the Audio menu, select Advanced Audio
menu, then Digital Audio Output. Select AutoSelect (recommended) or PCM.
• If your receiver can decode only PCM, select PCM.
