connector is usually white.
2. Specify that you have connected a wireless transmitter by pressing MENU on the
remote control, selecting Audio, then Special Audio, then Wireless Audio. Select
the appropriate variable audio output. For more information, see the section in this

configuration with external speakers. Select Audio from the main menu and then
select Speakers.

FIX/VARIABLE OUT
The FIX/VARIABLE OUT
jacks on the back panel
provide a fixed or
variable audio signal.
When set to "variable"
via the Audio menu, they
are ideal for use with an
audio amplifier that does
not have its own remote
volume control. When set
to "fixed," the output
volume stays the same no
matter how the volume
changes on the TV.
