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 systems with
optical audio input.
You will need:
•Optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that
has the larger TosLink connector, not the smaller
mini-optical connector.)
Before controlling the audio:
•See “Selecting the optical audio output format”
(- p. 53).
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 due to copy restrictions.
• The Dolby Digital format is available in the following
situations:
- When tuned to a digital RF channel.
- When an HDMI input is used.
- When DLNA Certified products or widgets are used.
