Chapter 2: Connecting your TV
Connecting a HDMI audio system
HDMI audio system is available if your AV amplifier
corresponds to ARC.
You will need:
•HDMI cable
HDMI's ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature
This feature enables the audio signal of the TV to be sent
to the AV amplifier via the HDMI cable. It will not be
necessary to connect a cable from the audio output of
the TV to the audio input of the AV amplifier to
reproduce the audio received from the tuner of the TV
through the AV amplifier.
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.
You will need:
•Optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that
has the larger “TosLink” connector and not the
smaller “mini-optical” connector.)
Before controlling the audio:
•See “Selecting the optical audio output format” (-
page 62).
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.
• The Dolby Digital format is available in the following
situations:
- When tuned to a digital RF channel or HDMI input.
- When DLNA Certified products or VUDU is used.
