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.

You will need:
•

Optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable
that has the larger “TosLink” connector and not
the smaller “mini-optical” connector.)

Dolby Digital decoder or

other digital audio system

TV back panel

Before controlling the audio:

See “Selecting the optical audio output format”(
page 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 because

of 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.
