A/V Receiver (Sound System)
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or
analog stereo audio cables.
The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog
formats:
Analog audio coming into the TV is output in
digital stereo format on the
DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT
jack (TV back panel #2).
Digital incoming audio is available as analog
output on the
AVR AUDIO OUTPUT, L
and
R
jacks (TV back panel #1).
Usually, only one of the following connections is
required:
• To connect an analog A/V receiver
Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables
from
AVR AUDIO OUTPUT
,
L
and
R
on the TV back
panel #1 to the
TV AUDIO INPUT
on the A/V receiver.
• To connect a digital A/V receiver with Dolby
Digital surround sound and PCM audio support:
Connect one end of the digital audio cable to
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
on the back of the TV
(back panel #2). Connect the other end to the
COAXIAL DIGITAL INPUT
on the back of the A/V
receiver.

Important
A/V Receivers with HDMI Inputs
If your A/V receiver has an HDMI input, use
one of the audio connections described here
instead of an HDMI connection.
Note:
On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be
copy-restricted and cannot be output from
the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copy-
protected signals through the A/V receiver, use
connections for analog A/V receivers.
Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for
information concerning use of the digital input
and switching between digital sound and
analog stereo sound from the TV.
