Audio Connections
With the audio versatility of your HDTV, you can choose various connection options depending on the type and quality of
sound that you want. From good to best sound, choose one of the options or refer to the user’s manual of each component
that you are connecting to get the best results.
Use your TV’s internal speakers (good sound).
Connect audio/video receiver (speakers connected to receiver) to your TV (better sound).
Connect audio/video receiver (speakers connected to receiver) using the digital audio output jack to your TV (best sound).
How to Connect: TV + A/V Receiver + Speakers
1. Connect the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUTS from the TV to an A/V receiver using audio cables for 6-channel
matrix surround sound.
2. Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Audio Connections menu and select whether you want the
FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to send fixed volume audio or variable volume audio.
Fixed Output provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V
receiver that has its own volume control.
Variable Output provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the volume controls on
the TV and TV remote control.
3. If you connect the SUBWOOFER jack, be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Audio Connections menu
and select Yes for connecting to an external subwoofer.
4. Use speaker wire to connect the Audio/Video receiver to external front and rear speakers. Refer to your audio receiver
manual to complete speaker hookup to the receiver.

How to Connect: TV + Receiver with Dolby Digital +Speakers
If you own a receiver with Dolby Digital* and/or PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) that uses an optical cable-type input, connect
an optical cable for excellent audio quality (shown on opposite page).
1. Connect one end of the optical cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack on your TV to the Digital Optical Input jack
on your receiver/amplifier receiver.
If your receiver can decode Dolby Digital and PCM, go to Audio menu, select Audio Connections, then Digital
Audio Output. Select AutoSelect (recommended) or PCM option.
If your receiver can decode only PCM, select PCM option.
2. Use speaker wire to connect the Audio/Video receiver to external front and rear speakers. Refer to your audio receiver
manual to complete speaker hookup to the receiver.
Note: If you want to use your TV’s internal speakers as the Center Channel speaker, use speaker wire to connect the
audio receiver’s CENTER SPEAKER OUTPUT to the TV’s CENTER SPEAKER INPUT. Set the Center Speaker Input option
in the Audio Connections menu to The center channel output from an audio receiver option.
