Making Your Connections 27
Audio: Surround Sound or AV Receiver
If you have a 5.1 surround sound system or audio-video receiver, you can make the audio connection to
your TV as shown in the following illustration. You also can connect other equipment to the sound system.
NOTE:
• Observe the color-coding on connectors.
• The digital audio output on the TV sends Dolby Digital surround sound only when you are
viewing a source connected to an antenna, cable, or HDMI input and only if the program
contains surround sound. Otherwise, the digital audio output sends digital stereo sound.
• For other sources that have digital audio outputs, connect those outputs directly to the surround
sound system so you can hear surround sound. You can omit the audio connections to the TV
for those devices.
• For other devices with only stereo outputs, you can connect those outputs to the surround sound
system or to the TV.
• If the AV receiver also supports multiple video connections, you can connect video outputs from
other equipment to that device and then connect the video output from the receiver to the TV.
Use the highest quality video connections available.
