Operating additional equipment
Connecting other audio amplifi ers or active
speakers
In the connection wizard, select "HiFi/AV amplifi er" under "Equipment
selection: audio component". The connection wizard allows confi guration of
different audio amplifi ers (stereo amplifi ers, surround amplifi ers, analogue or
digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM).
Refer to the operating instructions for the audio amplifi er to be connected.
Select "Digital" under "Audio transmission" for digital audio amplifi ers.
Connect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital
audio input of the digital amplifi er.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the corresponding
picture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected there). Then the
digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the TV set and fed to the
external audio amplifi er via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with your digital amplifi er (Dolby
Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under "Type of amplifi er" whether the digital amplifi er is a stereo or
surround amplifi er.
If it is a surround amplifi er, specify whether or not the TV loudspeakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifi er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifi er; instead
use the pre-amplifi er centre output.
Select "Analogue" for "Sound transmission" for analogue audio amplifi ers.
The sound for the analogue amplifi er is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R
connections of the TV to the audio amplifi er. Connect the amplifi er with two
cinch cables.
Specify under "Type of amplifi er" whether the analogue amplifi er is a stereo or
surround amplifi er.
If it is a surround amplifi er, also specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifi er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary. Note: do not use the
centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifi er; instead use the pre-amplifi er
centre output.
If you want to listen to the sound via the TV loudspeakers temporarily, call the
Sound menu using the
button, select "Sound via" and then "TV".
When connecting active speakers, select "Active speakers" in the connection
wizard under "Audio equipment selection". The sound for the active speakers
is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R connections to the active speakers. Make
connections to the active speakers using the cinch cables.
Make the audio settings on the TV set when active speakers are connected.
When using an external audio amplifi er, make the audio settings on the audio
amplifi er.
