IMPORTANT
All audio from what you are watching on
the TV is always available as an output on
both the TV’s AUDIO OUT LEFT/RIGHT and
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks.
To use the surround sound capabilities of your
A/V receiver however, you must connect your
DVD player, satellite receiver, or cable box
directly to the A/V receiver, as surround sound
may not be available from the TV’s audio output.
