INSTALLATION
Connecting a Digital Audio System
There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.
A simplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your
audio system owner’s manual.
Connecting to an Analog Amplifier
• Please be sure to match the color coded input terminals and cable jacks.
1
If your audio system has a optical digital audio input, connect
to the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)” jack on the TV.
Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output
before inserting the cable.
2
If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs,
SAMSUNG recommends you use the optical digital output on
the TV.
Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may
damage your audio system.
The “AV OUT (L, R)” terminals cannot be used for
external speakers. You must hook them up to an
amplifier.
When an audio amplifier is connected to the “AV
OUT (L, R)” terminals: Decrease the gain (volume)
of the audio amplifier, turn the TV’s volume to
minimum, and adjust the volume level with the
volume control of the audio amplifier.
• OPTICAL: Converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers.
S/PDIF is a transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.
