CONNECTION (continued)
Connecting Procedure (continued)
Connecting an audio system
This connection allows you to hear the TV sound through external speakers connected to an audio amplifier. To
control the audio through the amplifier, turn on the TV and the amplifier, set the volume of both to a moderate level,
and turn off the TV's built-in speakers (see "SPEAKERS" in Audio menu
Use a stereo RCA/Phono audio lead to connect the Variable Audio Output sockets to a spare input on your hi-fi
amplifier (A), for example Line-in or AUX (please consult your hi-fi instructions for details). If you have a surround
sound amplifier / decoder (B) with a coaxial digital input, you can connect the Coaxial Digital Audio Output to it,
using a suitable coaxial digital lead. This connection carries the audio signal from this set's Digital channels only.
NOTE
• Many TV broadcasts are transmitted with surround sound (e.g.
Dolby Surround) as well as stereo. If you connect the Variable
Audio Output sockets to a suitable surround sound amplifier
system, it will be able to decode the surround information from the
stereo signal output from the TV.
• The sound adjustment (bass / treble / balance) controls
affect the sound through the TV speakers - it does not affect the
sound through the audio output sockets.
Connect to a Video camera or games console
Connect the Video camera (or games console) to the TV unit
using the appropriate RCA / Phono AV leads (or S-Video if
applicable). Select AV4-input mode
NOTE
If you have a camcorder with S-video, use an S-video lead instead
of a standard video lead. Do not connect both a standard video lead
and an S-video lead at the same time, or the picture performance
will be unacceptable.
Connecting to a DVD player or other AV device with Component Video outputs
If your DVD player (or other device) has Component Video output sockets, use a suitable set of leads (RCA/Phono)
to connect these to the Component Video inputs on this TV as shown - it can greatly enhance the picture quality
and performance. Please remember that you will also need to connect separate leads (RCA/Phono) for the audio
signals. To view this source, select the COMPONENT input mode
