Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a digital audio
system
The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal
outputs a Dolby
®
* Digital or 2-channel
down-mixed PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation)
signal for use with an external Dolby
®
Digital
decoder or other external audio system with
optical audio input.
If you have a DTS
* decoder or processor, you
can obtain the full benefit of 5.1 channel DTS
encoded soundtracks on DVDs and audio CDs.
You will need:
• optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable
that has the larger “TosLink” connector and not
the smaller “mini-optical” connector.)
To control the audio:
Note:
• Some audio systems may not be compatible
with Dolby Digital bitstream signals. Older
audio systems that are not compatible with
standard optical out signals may not work
properly, creating a high noise level that
may damage speakers or headphones.
THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY
YOUR WARRANTY.
• The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not
output some digital audio sources because
of copy restrictions.
