Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a digital audio system
The TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal outputs a Dolby
®
*
Digital g 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.
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:
1 Turn on the TV and the digital audio device.
2 Press Y on the TV’s remote control and open the Audio
menu.
3 Highlight Audio Setup and press T.
4 In the Optical Output Format field, select either
Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device
(
- “Selecting the optical audio output format” on
page 46).
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.
