Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more than one audio source at a time. You can connect a set of
speakers to either the TV or the Amplifier but not to both at the same time. If you connect the same speakers to
both the TV and the amplifier, you will damage your equipment.
Connecting Speakers to TV
If you do not connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV,
you can connect external speakers to the TV to enhance sound
from the TV.
The diagram below shows how to connect external speakers to
the speaker terminals on the back of the TV.
1. Remove the vinyl covering and twist the wire core.
2. Press and hold the lever down while inserting the wire
core into the hole. Be sure to connect (+) to (+) and (-)
to (-) as explained in the Important Note below.
3. Release the lever.
Notes:
• After releasing the lever, pull gently on the wire and
check that it is connected securely to its terminal.
• Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or
contact other wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires
touch each other, damage to components could result.
Back of
The speaker switch on the back of the TV allows you to use
the external speakers.
To obtain a "surround sound" effect, place the external
speakers in the rear of the viewing area, and slide the
speaker switch to INT/EXT SURR. This provides full power
to the TV's internal speakers for the front sound and a
surround signal to the rear speakers.

Connecting Speakers to Amplifier or
Receiver
If you connect an Amplifier or Receiver to your TV, connect
the speakers to the Amplifier/Receiver instead of the TV.
Sound from the TV will then come through the
Amplifier/Receiver and the TV's internal speakers. You can
turn off the TV's internal speakers with the SPEAKERS:
ON/OFF function described on page 9.
The diagram below shows how to connect external speakers to
the speaker terminals on the back of a typical
Amplifier/Receiver. Check the owner's manual for your
Amplifier/Receiver if its speaker terminals look different than
those shown below.
Notes:
• After connecting speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it is
connected securely to its terminals.
• Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact
other wires or terminal. If the cores of two wires touch each other,
damage to components could result.
To enhance the sound from the TV's speakers, place the
speakers in the front of the viewing area (usually beside the
TV), and slide the speaker switch to EXT. This provides full
power to the external speakers for a "fuller" sound. The
internal audio from the TV's speakers will be muted.
